And barrelling towards HOME!!! This will be just a quick update to let you all know that head honcho doc (the attending) has signed off on the papers! We are waiting for her antibiotics to finish running on this pump, and then we will switch her over to our pump, get her dressed, and off [Read On]
One More Night.
February 24, 2011 By 4 Comments
It is hard to believe that last Thursday nite we checked into Hotel Milwaukee, with a whole different kiddo on our hands. I think I knew she was sick, but I don’t think I knew HOW sick she really was or would get. And honestly, I don’t think the gravity of this week will hit [Read On]
In the Home Stretch.

Now, being slightly superstitious, i probably shouldn’t even type those words. But they sound really good to say, so we’ll go with it! Yesterday’s afternoon events included a fun abdominal ultrasound where they “had a difficult time visualizing the pancreas” and noted an “abnormally large bladder”. I could tell the tech was getting concerned when [Read On]
Perking up!

I will try (TRYYYYY ok, it’s hard when you’re as verbose as myself!) to keep this one shorter. Since the hospital network has decided I can’t get on Facebook anymore, I will try to update here when anything exciting is happening! So after spiking a crazy fever last nite right around bedtime, things have been [Read On]
Making the Turn.

Little Warrior Princess is definitely making the turn back towards the good side today! Actually, in a weird way, she started making the turn last nite with all of the INSANE IV craziness, because they finally got off their butts and ordered something stronger than tylenol for this kid! And once we were able to [Read On]
Monday…

It’s a monday around here. Just…blah. It snowed a lot yesterday and through this morning up here in Milwaukee, but I hear its just been rainy down near home. At one point we couldn’t even see a thing out of the windows up here on the 11th floor! It just makes it seem that much [Read On]
Let’s Review.

I was going to go all the way back to Valentine’s Day of 2001 (ok not quite ON that day, but around that time), when we had an earthquake in Seattle that resulted in me breaking my shoulder blade, but I decided to spare you. We’ll pick up the fun walk down memory lane in [Read On]
{Breathing Easy}.

Not me, so much. I managed to pick up my own version of ebola virus and can hardly hear, talk or breathe through all the mucus. BUT – my baby is doing much much much better. This morning was still a struggle. I could not update this morning because she was still so miserable, and [Read On]
The solution and the problem.
November 21, 2010 By 4 Comments
I read some crazy hippie embrace the inner you happy horsecaca quote on Twitter today that went something like “Your problem’s solution is contained therein”. Now this had to have been either a rejected script for Yoda in Star Wars or some cheesey fortune cookie insert Happy Dolla Chow Mein, because it just doesn’t make [Read On]
Watching Numbers.
November 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I remember about two years ago, this very week, one of our awesome NICU nurses told us to not watch the numbers, but watch Kendall. Ben and I would sit there in her little curtained off area and just focus on that monitor, like we were at the horse races or something. Numbers MEANT something [Read On]
