Bad Blogger and Appointments

Yeah, so I dropped the blogging ball.  I’m sorry.  Life has been happening and I’ve been making sure I’m present to soak it all up.  These moments won’t last forever and I want to be in the moment and not just hearing about them.

We’ve has several appointments for the babies.  The main one being Hew’s pulmonology appointment a few weeks back.  They placed the pulse oximeter on him while he was on and off oxygen (he’s only on one quarter liter).  He was able to maintain his sats in the high 90’s with and without oxygen.  We got the go ahead to wean his diuretic and then his oxygen.  When the time came to start with the oxygen wean he was still dealing with his congestion (we’ve been dealing with buckets of snotty here).  We called Dr. L and he gave the go ahead to wait until the cold passes to begin the wean.  He has still been holding his sats good but we don’t want anything to wear his little body out so waiting is best. 

And then, yesterday Hollyn had a follow up liver ultrasound from when she was discharged from the NICU.  We got the dreaded “can you wait and let me see if the Dr. thinks I have everything he needs”, which translates to I saw something fishy so let me go get the doctor.  The doctor came in and asked a bunch of questions and did his own ultrasound.  He didn’t give much insight but finally said everything looked ok and we were free to go.  I’m trusting the good Lord that this is the case and I am prayerful that we will get the same response from our Pediatrician.  Pray with us will you?

And I'm praising God for this healthy blessing.  She is such a big help with the babies and she adores them (and they LOVE her).
