Exhustion Sets In

I don't think I realized how tired I was because I was running on adrenaline and there was always something we were waiting for at the hospital...the next visitor...phone call...assesment...mealtime...medication...staffing change...person that walked in the door...update to give...complaint to be lodged...decision to be made...etc. By our calculations we have suctioned her at least two dozen times and gotten about 16 oz. of fluid out of her today. She has been intermittently happy and dozed quite a bit.

Keala did decide that Mommy shouldn't hold Sissy any more while Daddy was sleeping and actually tried to pull her out my arms. There just isn't enough of me to go around. No really, Keala has been pretty great.

Allison didn't have the most restful night. Jeff said he got up with her 4 or 5 times suctioned her and rolled her over. I really hope this doesn't last for six weeks like last year, Jeff I both will end up having break downs. So far we are 2 and a half weeks post-op. I feel like we are kind of barely holding on in category of sleep, but maybe that's just because we just got home. The church is really taking care of us. Not only are they are praying for us, they are feeding us, loving us and I just had an offer for house cleaning. They are a real family. Sometimes I don't know what we would do with out them. We are really well loved.
