Day 81

What a week this one has been....
Gran passed on Wednesday. As she requested we celebrated her life instead of mourned her death yesterday. It was a beautiful day filled with many folks and it was a true testament to the massive number of people whoms life she impacted...

Miss Bella is doing things her way again and on her own time. She is not weaning as quickly as we had hoped for so far. She had to remain on almost 100 % oxygen yesterday for a good portion of the day. Finally after a HUGE diaper they were able to wean her down to 85 % and today she is on 75% oxygen. The Dr admitted today that he had been worried about an infection but so far her blood work and blood culture is showing no indication. They reminded me that with her chronic lungs we are just going to see good days and bad days...We are hopeful today is a good day. I FINALLY got to visit her again after being out for the week with sickness. I can't tell you the relief I felt from seeing her sweet face...she is weighing in at 2 pounds 15 ounces!!! She was very alert and I like to think really happy to see her mommy...

The Lord is teaching us much and despite the exhaustion of it all we are truly thankful for the wisdom and blessings...

Much love to you all
Telisha

  2. Of course she was happy to see her mommy! I'm sure she was missing you as you were missing her. Telisha - I wanted to know if there is anything I could help out with? I cannot imagine the stress involved in your life right now, and I was wondering if you can think of anything I could accomplish for you? Grocery shopping? Help watching Dylan? Dry cleaning picked up? :) I'm very sorry I am unable to help out financially, but I would be happy to help in other ways. Please keep me in mind, should you think of anything! Bella and your family are all in my prayers daily, and I love reading your posts each day!! Hope to talk to you soon. Audrey
