New Table!

Well, I officially feel OLD. Thats right, I got R E A L L Y excited over a new, wait for it.....KITCHEN TABLE. It's no longer a night out with friends, new pumps, or an expensive trip to the Clinique counter that gets me excited. It's apparently now kitchen tables. Those of you who knew what my old table looked like will understand (mostly college roomates and friends from Cedar Falls). Our old table was given to me when my great grandmother passed away (may she rest in peace) and has since been with me through FIVE different apartments! Last weekend Ryan and I decided to just stop in the furniture store and we ended up buying a new pub table for our "dining area"!

Ryan and his friend, Adam, hauled it home this afternoon and Ryan spent the better part of the evening putting it together! I tried to help, but was more of a nuisence. Those of you who have heard the Philips/Stanley story will understand.

Needless to say, I love love love it! Who knew furniture buying was so fun? Next furniture purchase on my list: Couch and Loveseat.

**Notice the daylight coming through the doors.

Bar stools finished, moving on to next part!
**Notice the darkness through the doors
Comes complete with wine/champagne/margarita glass storage!
How handy!
TA DA! All finished! What do you think?
**Notice: The cushions are NOT this shiney!
They still have the protecive plastic covering them!
I'm still too nervous to take it off? Does that make me a dork?
In other news, it was 85 degrees here today! Which of course, according to teacher standards, qualifies for an extra recess at the end of the day! Looking forward for spring to arrive and counting down the days until Morgan's wedding!

9 1/2 Hours

9 1/2 hours until my sweet baby girl goes in for her third open heart surgery.  This isn't just any surgery.  It's a big one.  This surgery would be a big deal for a 40 year old.  So you can imagine the seriousness and high risk on a 3 week old.  I am nauseous and scared.  I pray with all my heart that her little body can handle the intensity and recovery involved with something this big.  The nurses have prepared us for the worst, which I am thankful for, but am remaining optimistic and strong in faith.  They have told me that she will be VERY sick for several days following her surgery.  She may even come back to her room in the PICU still on bypass.  Even if she doesn't come back on bypass, she could still go back on it a few days later.  In addition to all her machines and medicines now, she will also come back with a pacemaker, and possibly the ECMO (bypass) machine. Lia opened her eyes today, and looked around the ...

Praising God!!!

Lia has had a REALLY good 24 hours! She passed her carseat test! Has taken ALL her feedings orally! Feeding tube is OUT! Breathing treatments have been cancelled! Ryan and I have started a 24 hr PCS (parent care status) where we are completely in charge of all feedings and medications.  The nurse will only check on us periodically. This is done to make sure we will be able to handle everything at home. NO MONITORS!  I just walked into our bathroom with Lia...simply because I COULD! Pharmacy has come to talk to us about all her prescriptions, and how to administer all medications. Got a basket ready for all the 'skimming' supplies I'll need for home. Arrangements have been made for follow up care with cardiologist and pediatrician! Discharge, yes, I said it, DISCHARGE scheduled for Tuesday!  Ok, I'm crying now that I just typed that! Once again, thank you for all your continued support and prayer!  Don't we have an amazing God? These oral feedings r...
