Today is a fun day for me and the girls. My friends and Meme will come over for a baby shower! The girls are dressed so stinkin cute! I'm sure I will post pictures at some point.
I went to see my boy last night. I can not accurately describe how amazing it is to bath him by myself and pick him up out of his crib by myself. Before, we had to be super careful when holding him so he wouldn't extubate but now that he is on cannula, it is much easier and less stressful. For the first time, I look at Brody and see a healthy baby boy. I held him for a while and bounced him on my knee, let him put weight on his feet and legs but he started to fuss a little because he was getting tired so in went the binkie and we rocked until he was asleep. So awesome. He loves the binkie just like the girls but most of all, he loves to hear himself. He cries a lot but not really a cry, I think that is all the "talking" he knows how to do yet. The doctors have been able to wean his oxygen requirements twice since Thursday and even with the changes his saturation are still staying at 100% the lowest it has been is 96%. This is just amazing. I know a lot of people won't get how big this is so just know it is huge!
The girls are getting sassier by the minute, both of them. Ricky started to call Madi KJ, I didn't know what the heck he was talking about so he informed me it was Krista Jr. Whatever. Gracie wants what she wants and now. She has no time to wait on you. They are so funny and a hand full :)
We've got a couple of appointments this week. Monday the girls will go for their 4 month check up, Wednesday ECI will be out to do therapy with the girls, Friday Gracie has Pulmonary, Dermatology, and her recast so we will be very busy that day.... I just realized we had all that on Friday.... Geez! And let us not forget Ricky leaves on Wednesday to PA for the next 3.0. D.A.Y.S.....
I hope everyone has a great week. Please keep praying for us.
Krista
We are praying for:
Gracie's paralyzed vocal cord
Brody's bottle feeds (hope to start this week)
Madi's reflux
Ricky while away
