End of day 5

Today was a good day with some not-so-good spots in it. Grandma C and Miss Karen came to visit this morning, and they always tell me how pretty I am. Every girl likes to hear that.
Mommy came while they were there and she stayed with me all day. We spent some good time rocking and talking again. She sang songs to me that we listen to alot at home... I'm Your Moon (my Pop's special song for me), Code Monkey, and You Ruined Everything, among others.


The not-so-good spots were two spells of some pretty bad belly pain that made me really hurt and really mad for a really long time. Mommy stayed real calm, even when I screamed and kicked her real hard. I just kept trying to tell her how much my belly was hurting, but she couldn't fix it, even though she tried medicine and good cuddles. The nurse was not happy with me because my heart rate got way too high, up to 194. She finally talked me into calming down, and then I was so tired that I slept for a while.


JP, Jeremy, and Linda came to visit me and Mommy from Champaign today too. They're from my church, and Mommy told me how special I am to get a visit from them this far from home. So thank you for coming, y'all!


I got rid of my last chest tube today, too, so I'm almost completely disconnected...only monitors are left! I was going to get moved to the TCU today, but they are still full and don't have room for me, so I'll stay in PICU one more night. I hope tomorrow I can move to TCU because then Mommy will come and be my new roommate til I get to go home. That will be fun, I think!

    Hurrah for all the tubes gone, and I hope she gets to be moved to the other room so you get even more time with her. She looks so brave!

A good fashion statement

I’ve heard people talk about a fa-shun stayt-munt .  Mommy told me how to spell it right so you would know what I mean…fashion statement.  Have you heard about this?  I’m not sure, but I think it’s when you put on pretty clothes and then tell someone something.  And I have something to tell you!! So here’s the pretty clothes… these were our Sunday pictures from yesterday.  Daddy took them while Mommy was getting ready for church. Me and KiKi were playing and we didn’t stand still to do good Sunday pictures.  But Daddy sneaked in some good ones. And now, here’s what I’ve got to tell you….. To celebrate my new pretty blog that we worked really hard on, me and Mommy are going to be giving some fun things away to somebody who likes to read our stories!  Do you like to get stuff for just reading my stories? And here’s how you can get stuff… You’re going to like it!  And there’s more than one thing!  1. Leave a comment on THIS POST TODAY (Monday) for an “early entry.”  (That mea

Blue is cool!

I found a new fun show this week. There's lots of singing and dancing, and I like to do both those things! It's got a little dog in it named Blue. And he leaves clues for his friends to find. I like to scoot up close to the TV, so Mommy puts me on my little stool that I use for stand and sit practice. That way I stay in one place. Tonight's show was really fun and I got all excited! ( Mommy note: Remember, you can click on the pictures to make them bigger. The look on that little face is worth it! :o)
