Play Date

I meant to post these pics a while ago, but never got around to it. Jack had a fabulous playdate last week with his friend Saige. They played very well together. Even to the point where they decided to share sippy cups with each other! (Don't worry, the moms put an end to that quickly!)

Before we get to the pictures though...Jack is going to be ONE on Friday! Where has the last year gone! Seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital anxiously awaiting his arrival! He has been off formula and bottle for a week now! We decided that when we finished up the last can of formula we weren't going to buy anymore! We quit the bottle cold turkey as well. I was nervous at first, but we haven't had any problems! Jack loves his sippy. We have 2 molars and the start of a 3rd one! Yikes! Poor guy. That cannot be pleasant! He is still cruising along the furniture but will stand on his own for a few seconds at a time. I think he will be walking any day now! He says lots of words, "mama" "dada" "up" "bye" "uh oh" "no" and LOVES to mimic.

You'll have to check back for a birthday post in a few days!

Daddy and Jack playing peek-a-boo under our table. Other peek-a-boo favorites include daddy's hat, any blanket, douglas, the shower curtain (yes, he likes to come in the bathroom while one of us is showering), and the rear view mirror.


Saige and Jack took turns rocking in Jack's chair during their play time.


Jack had no problem with mooching some of Saige's ghram crackers!


I realize this picture isn't so flattering of Jack, but they were so cute together!


Saige even brought Jack an early birthday present. She wasn't quite ready to part with the card yet though,


She really wanted to keep that card.


Thanks for the new bath toys Saige!

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...
