Easter: Part 1

I'm dividing my Easter blog into two different posts: One from our time in Fairbank with Ryan's family, and one from our time in Norwalk with my family! We had such a good time in Iowa over the weekend. It was hard to load the car and head back. It was so good to see friends and family. Jack loved his Easter! Last year, he wasn't even sitting up yet! This year, he was ALL OVER THE PLACE! Especially when he was playing with his cousin, Eli! Enjoy the pictures from our time in Fairbank, and check back tomorrow (or soon thereafter) for more pictures from Norwalk.

Showin' off his goods!


Eating jelly beans is serious work.



After we got changed out of our jammies, Grandpa and Jack went outside for some playtime. They walked all the way down to the timber!



Jack got to sit on the lawn mower!


And Grandpa took him for a cruise around the yard!



Thank you Grandma Diane, Grandpa Maury, Aunt Jill, and Aunt Hilary for such a nice visit!!

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.

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...
