LTR/Rib Graft – Day 4 (Discharge)

Oh happy day! She was ready for discharge first thing in the morning, and boy was she so excited. The first 2 things she asked while we were packing up was: 1. Are they taking my IV out? 2. Do I get to see Kuya Ethan and Enzo? She missed her brothers so much because [...]

LTR/Rib Graft – Day 3

Day 3 in the PICU was more a ‘hangout just to make sure everything is ok’ kind of day. The night before they did get rid of one IV site because it started bleeding so they just removed it since they really didn’t it anymore. However, when they went to use the second site for [...]

LTR/Rib Graft – Day 2

The doctor decided to stop sedation meds first thing in the morning since she was doing so well. So for a while after, she was a bit loopy. I’m sure the pain meds didn’t help with the loopiness. =) See the dried tears? This was a while after Edwin’s little fiasco with globs of dried [...]

LTR/Rib Graft – Day 1 (Surgery Day)

She was all smiles all weekend and even all morning, even when they took forever to call her back. I was ready to jump outta my skin with all the waiting and anticipation. This picture was taken as they were walking her back to the OR. Right after this shot, fear kicked in and she [...]

Happy Birthday Lizzie!

She’s 8! Since Daddy is at work and Kuya (filipino for ‘big brother’) is at Camp Dalisay for the night, it was up to Enzo and me to wake her up to a special day… Only I think she’s been up since the nurse left this morning! She was wide awake with stuff all over [...]

Another Mama Made Doll

Lizzie’s 8th birthday is tomorrow and so of course a birthday wish list is in order. Even after her special request for mama-made dolls last Christmas, I was still pretty surprised to see another request on her birthday list. Thank you Lord for easily pleased and easy to shop for children! I was even good this [...]

Her Best Bud

They miss her

[2008] Lizzie was telling someone about Mama Michele today. They asked her about missing her foster mom…Lizzie had this confused look on her face and she said “She’s not my foster mom, she’s my Mama Michele.”

‘Her’ Time

On Saturday, Lizzie and I got break from the boys and all their noise when they went out with the cousins to watch “Avatar”. Definitely not our cup of tea. Lizzie and I spent the day lounging around the house, playing video games without being interrupted or having to take turns or share, and eating [...]

Her Mama-made Doll

Oh I’m so excited about the doll I made for Lizzie. She’s been asking for me to make her all kinds of stuff for a long while now but we have been too busy being busy! She’s been eyeing a few things that we’ve seen as we browse through blogs and Etsy. She has been [...]
