Pennies For Heaven

Today my class got to have a pizza and pop party for raising the most money out of all the other classes in the school for 'Pennies For Heaven' which involves bringing in loose change for the Kansas Humane Society! I was so proud of my class! They brought in lots of coins, and did all sorts of jobs around their homes to earn extra quarters to bring! They were thrilled to know that their hard work was going to help all the puppies and kitties that didn't have any homes. My class brought in over $130.00 and the school total was over $1,300.00! Wow!


My class with their prize! A superdome pizza from AJ's! Yum! You should've seen their eyes when they carried the pizza in! It barely fit through the door!


Of course I jumped on the opportunity to turn it into a quick math lesson! Over 30" of pizza!


The sauce on his face says it all!

So proud!

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...
