She had a run-in with a bug at the park last night. Guess who won?
Enzo walks around the house with a blankie when he first wakes up in the morning, when he’s upset, when he’s tired, or when he’s sick (he takes it to the car too but I draw the line there). This past weekend he woke up with a stomach bug, so he hung out with his [...]
Last week we officially said “GOOD BYE!” to Lizzie’s vent. Bitter-sweet really. She’s been on the vent since she was a newborn, so it was definitely long over due! You don’t realize how much you need a 2′ x 2′ of space until that space is empty. The first week we were weaning off, she [...]
Ok so maybe not me, but E got a new toy. Alright, maybe not really a toy. She has new medical equipment that I’m so excited about! haha yeah yeah I’m sure you’re thinking why??? I don’t know either! All I know is that she got a portable pulse ox (checks blood oxygen level and [...]
Our kids have definitely been keeping us busy the last 3 weeks…its crazy I tell ya! They have the hardest time sharing toys and food…but germs?!?! They just LOVE to share germs! First it was Ethan and his asthma then chest pains and abnomal EKG readings, then E and oxygen levels dropping and face/neck swelling…and [...]
We went into the hospital on Thursday morning and E was nervous even though she really didn’t know why she was going in to begin with. The alligator tears started when they prepped for bloodwork. I’m not sure what it is about Florida and not testing kids for sickle cell at birth, but Enzo wasn’t [...]
E’s pre-op yesterday went really well. No thyroid problems. YAY! Which we figured she wouldn’t because Mama Michele already told us that but doctors are funny about seeing results on paper. PLUS, she has grown a bunch! She’s gained 2 lbs and grew 1 1/2 to 2 inches since moving home with us…crazy huh? She’s [...]
Yesterday I took E to have a modified barium swallow done. We waited FOREVER! I think all that waiting made E even more nervous because she was so fidgety and couldn’t figure out what she wanted to do with her body. She did so well and was very cooperative. She ate and drank all the [...]
Ok so maybe not, but it is “E and the Seven Nurses”. So for the most part I’m pretty easy to please and don’t expect grand performances from our nurses/workers. But of course you expect a level of health care that will keep your child healthy and clean and hmm…a decent dose of common sense. Nurse [...]
