Wow... that is about all I can say about the way life is going. My daughter is pretty much in the clear from everything that has happened. She is still having daily headaches that we are going to have to get checked out from a regular doctor and we have a follow up appt with the surgeon to see her wound. She will have to get part of it sutured since the granulation tissue decided to go a little wild and grow above her wound area and is sticking out some. Other than that we finally have our daughter back. Thanks to all that have been sending her cards, gifts and your prayers. They mean a lot to us.
A lot has been happening still. It seems I cannot get away from hospitals to save my life. After my daughter got out of the hospital my best friend decided she wanted a trip to the hospital and was there for almost a month. Many know that she was pregnant and was having a hard hard pregnancy. She went to a doctors appt and there was not enough oxygen getting to the baby so they decided to monitor her in the hospital. She had a few issues here and there including her blood pressure really going nuts. I spent many more days up at the hospital with her. They finally decided to induce labor on Feb. 17th. She had her daughter by c-section at 10:43 that morning. Cecilia weighed 1 lb and 4 oz and is 11 1/2 inches long. She was born at 28 weeks but is more like a 24 week baby. HERE is her website if you would like to see her. I was there at the hospital the day she had her and hubby and I went up the next day to see Cecilia. There are quite a few pics up on her website but they do not do justice to how tiny she is. She is a true blessing and is quite the fighter. The picture I put up is of her at 1 week old and her mommy holding her. Touch is very uncomfortable to her since her nervous system is not fully developed so she spends most of her time in the isolette. Of course there are a lot of wires coming out of her too. They put in a PICC line, she has heart monitors, blood pressure cuff and they put her on the BILLIE light when needed. I have more pictures of her but most are pretty blue from the BILLIE light being on her. Her daddy has a website and has added quite a few pictures of her and the link is on her website.
My best friend seems to be doing ok. She had to be cut from her belly button down and then cut across to give birth to Cecilia so she is in quite a bit of pain. She has a bunch of staples and even more stitches. She is finally home and happy to be there. They have been up to the hospital every day to spend with their baby of course and she is just being so positive. We still do not have plans for a baby shower, we will once we get a coming home date for Cecilia, then we will go all out for our precious miracle.
OK, on to other stuff. The rest of my kiddos are doing great. My hubby turned 30 just a few days ago. I have not scrapbooked in forever it seems, nor done much of anything else. I managed to go out with my girlfriend Kelly ONCE in the last couple of months. We had a great time. Bridget was stalked by some psycho chic in Walgreens, Nolani thought she was preggers and we bought a pregnancy test at 1 in the morning. She was drunk off her ass :o) Oh, and shes NOT preggers. We played left, right center.. a pointless dice game, but hey who cares when you are sitting around with a bunch of women who are drunk??? It was actually a toy party that started the evening off. Then ended with the dice game, BSing and drinking. We had a wonderful time like we always do and it was great to let loose and just have fun for a while. Well, I have spent enough time on this time to get back to life. Hope all is well with all of you out there!!!! :o)
