PA and the next 30 days

Ricky is leaving next Wednesday, the 17th, for PA. He will be gone until December 17th. 30 days. I'm still digesting that. PA is where one of the job offers is. They need help and it will be a good time for him to see if he likes it up there and if we could really live there. He is going to freeze up there. He will be missing our 5 year wedding anniversary and Thanksgiving. It is okay though because Brody isn't home so we were not celebrating Thanksgiving anyway and we will celebrate big on our 10 year anniversary (I hope to Paris or somewhere cool) So, during this time away I will be recruiting my family and friends. I've got a calendar going of who can ride with me what day so I can see Brody.
Speaking of my big boy, he is OFF OF PRESSURE SUPPORT! He is now on ET C PAP and the goal is to have him off the vent officially by Thursday if he continues to do good. Go Brody Grow! We are so excited about this. It is so close... like waiting to open gifts on Christmas morning.
The girls are eating like crazy! Madi plays with her tongue more and more these days. The little faces she makes is so funny. She is also doing better holding her head up although, she hates to exercise.
Gracie is still struggling to eat. She threw up her entire bottle tonight. I hope she does not have to be tubed again. She is so alert and stares at angles all day. I really think she is staring at angles by the way. She is tolerating her cast better. We will go back at the end of the week for round 2.
In other news, we sold the truck today and made a little money on it. So happy for it to be gone, one less thing on the to do list.
