Not much.

It is blissfully uneventful here.

I. love. it.

Gianna went to the Pulmonary Doc last week, and her lung capacity is UP. It was 60% and is now 75%. Thank You Lord! The Dr. was FLOORED that Gianna has not been seriously ill. She literally has no capacity to cough hard, and even a cold could turn into pneumonia.

But... it hasn't.

God is good.

Celia is back to her happy, joyful, HEALTHY self.

And Sofia, my divalicious princess will be starting ballet today. She will love it. Her sweet teacher will allow Celia participate also if she feels up to it. AND, the moms get to sit and chat upstairs over coffee.

I get friends, Sofia gets ballet, and Celia can try too- SCORE! I'm so excited for all of us.

We are headed to the cardiologist today too. Celia needs to be checked regularly to make sure she is good, and Sofia had a minor issue last year with her heart, so we are going for a re-check and hopefully she will be released.

It's been a light week- 2 pulmonary visits, and 2 cardiology visits, one trip to the pharmacy, and no emergencies. Two bible study groups on 2 different nights, at my house. Ballet on 2 different days for 3 girls, and homeschool everyday. A winter party cookie swap and 30 cookies made, a cousin's birthday party to shop for, and sweet friend for coffee.

What am I gonna do with all this free time I have left over?!?

I think I will read an entire book while sipping coffee and snacking on something chocolate while my sweet man rubs my shoulders for hours on end.
And then take a LOOOONNNGGGG nap.

OR

Maybe I should tackle the laundry pile that is almost high enough for a child to ski on.

OR

 Grocery shop for my poor deprived girls so we don't hear,

"Why are we having peanut butter sandwiches for lunch AGAIN?"


OR

Do my frantic lysoling/bleaching thing that makes my house smell like, well... bleach.

OR

Think about what's for dinner before, 5:25 PM when everyone is starving and I am frantically trying to make dinner look like I tried.

Nah.

The first option sound better.

Now where the heck is that dusty kindle???

    We say go for option #1. How often do you get 30 min. to yourself? I'm glad you are finally having a good news week, you more than deserve it.

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...
