Tuesday night update

Ellice- Got a shower, brushed her teeth, got hte catherter out, got the IV out, staples look great, bleeding is a minimum, feels like a human again. took 15 mins to get a bursh through her hair. Ellice is doing great. is beast pumping and saving up food for the baby when she gets to actually eat.

Laurana- color is better than yesterday, to isn't perfect, and comes and goes alittle, but is better and is working toward regualar baby pink. Her breathing is better. She is still breath too fast, and it takes too much effort for each breath. she gets oxgen, and a little pressure to remind her to breath, but is technically breathing for herself. She has to wear a horrible littl mask, and we arenot allowed to hold her yet until the mask comes off. Heart and other organs are fine. Dr says she will be fine, it is just a matter of how long that is going to take. nutrition is still coming through her IV but they are hoping to give her some of my early milk stuff tomorrow.

Sounds like both of you are improving rapidly which is ther answer to lots and lots of prayers for you. It will be wonderful when you can actually hold Laurana in your arms and kiss her all you want. Brad is even lucky to be allowed to change diapers, at least he is having lots of contact with his brand new daughter. Soon you will be going home and become a family. By the way, All the Murfreesboro Chick's are planning a visit later on. We want to see all of you and give you a hug. Steve may even come home in the fall for a short visit to catch up on his latest great nieces and nephews. He goes kind of dotty when he can pet children. Thanks for keeping us all up to date you progress from both of you.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Image
Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
