Sweet Summertime

As promised, here are some pics from our first week of summer break together! First up:  Treat Cup.  We got a package in the mail from my Grandma (whom I call Nanny) and Grandpa Rosien!  It was the "treat cup" that all us grandkids used to eat out of when we were at my grandparents house when we were little. Some of my favorite treats to eat out of it were chocolate chips, marshmallows, and red hots!  Well, Jack was the lucky recipient of the official "treat cup" and he has loved using it.  It's funny how something so small can hold some of the fondest memories. I got a little teary eyed when I got it and read the note that came with it.  Thanks Nanny!

We're still working on keeping the treats in the cup.


Mmmm
Memorial Day:  Adam and Arrena came over to grill out with us on Memorial Day.  Jack loves to play with them.  Of course he got his books out right away and begged Adam to read to him. I love that he loves to read.
Adam reading to Jack.  Looks like Elmo got in on the action too.


Soakin' up some of Arrena's attention!
  Little Chef:  This is how Jack helps Mommy cook dinner.  He loves to give me samples of his cooking by sticking the spoon in my mouth and saying "yummy yummy yummy!"

Little swimmer:  We made our first summer trip to the pool yesterday with my friend Erica, and her kiddos.  Jack was hesitant at first, but quickly fell in love with the pool. We will be making lots of trips back there!  Four of the YMCA's here have outdoor pools, so we get in with our membership.
Thanks for the new hat, Grandma Diane, it kept the sun out of my sensitive little eyes!
Thanks Grandma Sue, for the new trunks.  I couldn't keep the ladies away!

Jack LOVED playing with Devyn (Erica's daughter)



RiverFest:  Last night kicked off  RiverFest here in Wichita.  Our friend, Tim, is in town for his work, so we all went down to watch the fireworks last night.  I thought Jack might be scared (he still hates the vacuum) but he was rather un-emotional.  Which, those of you who know Jack, know that isn't surprising either.  He didn't hate them.  He didn't love them.  That's my Jack!
Well, Jack is asleep, so I might try and get a little nap in too!  Have a great rest of the weekend!

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...
