I can’t even think of a title for this post cause it’s probably gonna spill out as just random thoughts that are not coherent in any way – but are just little snippets of what is bouncing around in my currently somewhat ADD like brain. I have to make a list so I remember what [Read On]

You may be thinking to yourself – hmmm – my kitty really needs a bath right about now. And so you are searching on google for “how to give a cat a bath”. I hope this post helps you! Here is how our cat bath went the other day – complete with illustrations! Please pay [Read On]

When things work out.

Alternatively titled “Just in case you thought you were going to complain about being in the hospital again, your air conditioner will also concurrently bite the dust, and you will be grateful for the air conditioning your baby can receive in the hospital.” But that wouldn’t fit in the title box. So anyways – Kendall’s [Read On]

The Revolving Door.

There really is a big revolving door downstairs at the main entrance of the hospital. I don’t find it ironic or funny that they put one in the hospital side and not the clinic side. And while I am not THAT superstitious – it is the door I used yesterday to come in here with [Read On]

A Good Weekend.

This will just be a quick one since it is way too late on Sunday nite and I have to be up way too early tomorrow morning! It was very surreal to not be with Kendall for this long while she’s in the hospital. I  left the hospital very soon after her surgery on Friday [Read On]

SuperPowers.

Kendall had a really good nite in the grander scheme of things. She only needed blow-by oxygen for a couple hours to get her sats (saturation of oxygen in her blood) back into the 90’s.  Heartrate was still elevated all nite, but was staying in the 180 range – nice and far away from the [Read On]

I know I’ve said this before. And i know that most of you already know this, and agree with it even. But I have to say it again. This kid is amazing.

I was shaken awake by a resident last nite to let me know that Kendall’s blood cultures had come back positive. For yeast. Again. This was ONE of the foes she fought in February when she was very sick. I was able to hold back the tears while talking to the doctor because while I [Read On]

Shamrock Shakes.

I don’t know. It was the only thing that came to mind when I was trying to thing of a good blog title. If you haven’t ever tried one – you must. (they’re at McDonalds. you’re welcome.) Obviously I just had one earlier today. Because its still at the forefront of my mind. I think [Read On]

Life-Giving.

My friend Cheryl Lynn likes to use this phrase a lot. I kind of tease her about it. But mostly, I really really like it. Because it sums up so well the attitude with which we should live out most of our actions on most days. Why do stuff that doesn’t really help you enjoy [Read On]
