Whirlwind Visit

Keala and Grammy Sue came to visit today... What a whirlwind!! :) Keala wouldn't let mommy put her down for the first 15 minutes they were here and then crawled right into bed with Allison and snuggled and kissed and patted her and talked to her. Later, when mommy took her out of the room for a bit to play with her in the play room, 2 or 3 times, right in the middle of a sentence, Keala would stop and say "yaya (thats what she calls herself) "yaya sissy!" and take off running down the hall back to Allisons room. She also noticed a couple other babies on the hall and wanted to go take care of them and snuggle them too. She's just sooo adorable! Amy really enjoyed seeing Sue also. What a nice treat. They were able to spend a couple hours and have dinner with Amy and then took off for home. Sue said Keala struggled a little bit with the leaving part and talked about mommy and sissy all the way home.

Allison is still having some struggles today. She had an xray yesterday that showed she has a a lot of poo to get rid of and is having a lot of troubles doing it. Feeds have been backed off again and Miralax introduced to try and get things movin. It's causing her quite a bit of discomfort. Dr Harrison seems to think that he wants to send her home before the weekend, but as it stands right now, Allison is still on IV fluids and IV meds and is still not getting full feeds and being suctioned on a very regular basis. All of that combined with the constipation says to us, NO WAY ! At the earliest, we're thinking sometime next week, and thats only if we get authorization from the insurance company for some nursing assistance at home. Thank you for all the calls and emails and Facebook posts. We have really appreciated them.

Thank you Lord for all our friends (old, new and newly re-aquainted)
Thank you for continued strength and perserverence.
Thank you for continued health (Amy, Jeff and Keala) and continued progress for Allison.
Thank you for all of your angels at Church on the Hill, without them we would be sinking fast.
