Jumpin' Jack

We have been borrowing a jumper for Jack to play in for a few months now, and HE LOVES IT! In the last few weeks he has really started to jump for a lot longer and with a lot more energy! The toy plays music when you jump, and he has figured out that he needs to jump in order to get the music to play! It's so fun to watch him squeal and laugh while he's playing!




And for your mouth-watering pleasure: As I type this email, Ryan is making dinner (he's a fabulous cook), and this is our menu tonight. I can hardly wait!
Appetizer: Jalapenos stuffed with spiced cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, on the grill!
Main Course: Marinated grilled chicken breast topped with sauteed mushrooms and melted provolone cheese. Grilled fresh pineapple. Veggie yet to be decided...
Dessert: Trip to Dairy Queen! We do this every Sunday night!!!
Prayer Request: Ryan's grandma, Edna, is having her kidney taken out tomorrow! Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!
Also, please keep Ryan and I (and Jack) in your prayers as Ryan is finishing up school in the next few weeks and will be on the job hunt! Exciting, yet uncertain times for us!!

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...
