Mommy report: On the schedule...soon!

Dr. R's office just called back, and we're on the schedule for this coming Monday, September 10 for PEG. Yeah, this coming Monday. Like 4 days from now. I'm ok with it.

Little Miss Nebraska Larae has pulled her tube out twice so far today, and I'm taking that to be a little reassurance from God that this is the right choice and the right time.

Yes, that's the band-aid in place on her face and the end that should be in her belly is on her shirt. She's figured out how to get her little finger in the 1/4 inch space between the tape and her nose... how's that for cognitive and motor skills? This afternoon, she just ripped the whole band-aid off her face and the tube all the way out. Then she yelled at me like I hurt her. *sigh* Kids...


My husband is trying to work out being able to come with us, which I REALLY need to be able to happen, so please pray he can get the days off. I don't want to have to relay all this new info to him. I'd rather him be able to hear it straight from the docs and nurses when they give us all the new care info.


There ya have it. Baby steps to the hospital. Baby steps to the waiting room. And wait...

  1. Hey there RK and Muncher -- Tim and I keep up with the blog even though we're lousy friends and owe you a dinner invite. Maybe the return of 24 will spur us . . .

    Anyway, RK, we'll pray especially hard that you all will be able to be together on Monday. Families need to be together. We made a flying trip to SLCH last week ourselves and hope that you have the same positive outcome we did. Thinking of you all (and I'm thrilled and tickled you love What About Bob too!, Em

  5. We are praying for all of you and know that everything will go great! She is a very sneaky little one. I could see it in her little smile the other day. I hope those Docs give you fare warning because I think you will have a little trouble maker on your hands once she is taking down the calories! Plus I am pretty sure Gracie has been teaching her all of her best moves when we are not looking and believe me that is scary. God be with you! I know she'll do great! Karen K

  7. You will all be in our prayers as you are at the hospital on Monday. Will be waiting on the updates of Braska's progress.
    Hospital's are no fun....My neice, that has Spina Bifida, just come home yesterday from a 4 wk stay in Children's Hospital in Buff, NY. Long story but it shows that with all the love & prayers going out how good God is to his kids and brought her through it all & she finally was able to go home. Muncher, I hope you are able to get out of work for this surgery too :-)
    Lots of love from Florida....
    Thx for the updates~
    Carrie :-)

  8. You are all in my prayers. I hope dh is able to be there with you and that all goes smoothly. I think her new trickiness is definitely a sign that you made the right choice.

  10. Hey little Cutie,
    Surgery really isn't as much fun as you think, even though you are quite adept at it. But eating is important...You are quite the charachter Little Miss.

  11. RK- Glad to see it's scheduled. You will be constantly in our prayers that day. Tommy will be getting his PEG this month so we have MUCH to learn from you and Braska.

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
