A Day in the life part 2


Play with toys on the bed. (again)
Eat Cup of noodles in your room.
Have babies nap.
Have big girls watch a movie.
Try to stay awake, so you will sleep past 4 AM.
Get everyone up, changed, snacked, shoes on, and head back to the park. 
 Pretend to hopscotch.
 Realize that due to the opening ceremonies to the Asian games, your beloved caffeine fix is closed.
Have a good cry.
 Pull it together and decide, just for fun, to let the girls push the stroller to see if it gets you MORE or LESS stares.
Place wagers to see who will win.
 Reduce yourself to yet another tourist shot.
 Go into the only restaurant that appears to be open, even though it is only 4:30 PM.
Find out the staff is having a karoke party to celebrate the Asian Games.
Believe them when they say they are open for business.
Watch the glares from the wait staff when they have to leave their place in the karoke line to take your order.
Worry they might spit in your food.
 Pretend you use chopsticks every day.
 Surprise everyone when you actually get food in your mouth.
 Head to the hotel playroom to play with germ-ridden toys. Smile that lights the room, because you are just glad for a change from the parents bed full of toys.
 Lay on "base" and play with toys that are only within reach from said location.
Give Daddy BIG HUGS and call it another day down! Only 9 more sleeps and we are HOME!

    Thanks SO much for my China fix this morning :) Much much better blogging with all those great pics of your blessings!! Keep em coming, I am really enjoying your trip (especially since I am not the one there with 4 babies in tow-LOL).

    Looks like you all are doing great and living the Groundhog Day movie well. Venture out into GZ with Ann if you want some real adventure! Oh and I hear they have a playroom at the Victory and one at the Swan for more variety. Already looking forward to your next posts...

    My two favorites....
    Celia on the green rocking toy. What a precious and beautiful smile. Happiness radiates from her little face.
    Sophia, on "base". Angelic contentment!

    My favorite picture in this group is Celia "on base". That is just the sweetest smile. I have a feeling that with the proper nutrition and lots of love that only ya'll know how to give the changes in both girls will be monumental!

How Can It BE??

It's been almost a year since I've posted and for some strange reason, I found a few extra minutes in my day( crazy, huh?) and thought I would catch-up the TWO WHOLE people who might still be checking in now and then. On May 11, 2014 our world was changed in the sweetest way with the birth of our granddaughter. And GUESS WHAT?!? All those stupid , ahem , quippy things said by grandparents everywhere, are, in fact, TRUE! She is the sweetest, smartest little treasure EVER and I would definitely have been a grandma first if I knew how amazing this is. (Sorry, kids.) And we have the privilege of having her 1-2 days per week, which makes this MiMi blissfully happy but also a tad busy. She is now 10 months old, and can tell you what an elephant and a lion says. She is determined to grow up as quickly as she possibly can, and plans to start walking yesterday. She is a GO-GETTER and is on the move. Having her weekly is such a precious gift. I love it that my grown kiddo...

The Blessinngs of the Lord make rich...

 Matching PJs and ready for bed. Aren't they adorable?  My and ALL FOUR of my daughters. My cup really runs over!!  Gianna and Celia. I am glad that we prepared ourselves for CP. She is only hypontic in her neck, but she is spastic in her arms, so she is resourseful and uses her feet to grab toys you hold up for her. She is happy, smiley, and sweet as sugar. I am not upset so understand I am saying this as more matter of fact, but she is like a 6 month old in every way. I pray for her sake that some good therapy and nutrition will help her tremendously. She is definitely on the more severe end of CP. We are not shocked, in fact I really expected this end of the spectrum. Please don't feel "sorry" for us or her. She is a blessing and we are privileged to be called to such a child.  Right after we got back to  the hotel room. Sofia only wants ME or Aria. Or she is crying pretty hysterically. We don't mind- at least I have some one to take turns with if I need ...

Oh what a difference 24 hours makes.

This morning, the PICU nurse announced that we would be moving to the floor today.  I argued with her. I begged. I offered lunch and dinner for the whole PICU staff if they would keep us just one more night.  You see,I spent last night pressing her morphine button every 30 minutes all night long. The nurse came in every hour. She had to check her THREE IVs. Her chest tube that was draining a tremendous amount of blood. Her pain was hard to manage. Her heart rate elevating was our biggest clue, because she never complained. She had a high level of oxygen needed to keep her stats up.  I liked the comfort of knowing that we had one nurse, right outside the door, whose only job all night long was to monitor Gianna and fix every problem as it arose. The nurse laughed and said, "Don't worry she'll be ready. Oh, and she needs to get up and walk today..." What?!??!? It has been LESS than 24 hours since she had major surgery. And then the flurry started. Xrays were taken. Thre...
