Fight for Preemies

You all know my fiery Little One? 20 months ago I was in the hospital. Living....waiting...hoping. My little one was able to hold out and arrived 6 weeks early. I had a placenta previa. I had several bleeds that landed she and I in the hospital until she arrived. She spent 4 weeks in the NICU until she reached 5 lbs and hit all her marks and was able to get off the machines and monitors and come home with us. The most glorious day of our lives to date.

We were lucky.

We still worry every time she gets sick. She is sick a lot. Her premature systems have not caught up yet. This is a problem in premature babies. They get and stay sick a lot. A LOT A LOT. And she can't just get a cold and get over it like most kids. If a germ walks past her she gets sick and stays sick for weeks. Sometimes it involves hospital visits but always involves doctor visits and she's not over the hump yet. She won't be until she's well on her way to 3 years old at least. She got a cold 3 weeks ago and is still sick. It went from cold to bronchitis to pneumonia. Almost every time. She is on 2 nebs, oral steroids, antibiotics, allergy meds, cough/cold medicine and sometimes singulair. This is constant. But again, we are lucky and thankful that we still have her and that she is getting stronger every day and month that goes by.

Please join the fight......please be aware........please pass it on....

BOO to YOU!!

let's see, what have I been up to?

Croup+Bronchitis+Sinus Infection+Tubes Out=Double Ear Infections in both ears and one helluva ill ass 20 month old (ill in the literal and figurative sense equally). We did manage a couple hours of good on Halloween for her and then it all went downhill. Luckily for you I captured it on film!

Anyway, Big One had a great time and I thought her costume turned out so good!!!

catching up

just thought I'd drop in and dust the cobwebs a little bit around here

long time no see!

It's been a while and my excuse is.....well, I have no excuse, other than sick children and busy-ness. Like we aren't all busy, right? Lame, I know....to be honest I've not felt inspired or witty or anything lately.

Put on your big girl panties and deal with it, right? I know I know. Anyway, while I try to come up with a better tomorrow you can enjoy these pictures of my minis at the pumpkin patch yesterday. Me and my BFF took all the littles to the pumpkin patch/hayride/petting barn place. You would have thought it was Little One's first public outing...she was beside herself.

Big One spent the majority of her time chasing Little One and "protecting" her from all those mean big kids that don't watch out for little ones in the hay mazes and stuff. It was fun.

I can't breathe today. Not sure if it's all that damn hay or if the girls have given me their creeping crud. Either way my sinuses are having a bad day. Sucks to be me. Send in the Waaaambulance.....
