ME has a little bug. She had congestion/a cold since last week. Which,
with a trach that means a LOT of suctioning, even at night and just
hearing her cough at night keeps us up.. so if you see that we are
tired, that would be why. The cold has gotten better but yesterday
brought on a fever. Ironically she was fine for her pre-op appointment
and her ears, throat etc all looked good. As soon as we got home she
felt warm and she sure enough had a low grade fever, followed by a full
blown one by the end of the night. This morning she’s still got one so
I called to cancel her surgery for tomorrow. Hopefully between the dr’s
busy schedule, our busy schedule, her next surgery and all- we can fit
it in at a good time. We shall see.
I’m really bummed that she’s sick. She doesn’t get sick that often,
which is great… and the Drs are always pleased with how healthy she
remains despite having a trach (when we breathe through our noses and
mouths our air is filtered, with the trach everything goes straight to
the lungs). So I guess I shouldn’t complain too much. She’s been around
a lot of kids lately so who knows but hopefully it’ll go away soon.

On another note, ME has been acting herself even though she’s under the
weather. And I got quite a laugh when she was hitting me (yea even
though she shouldn’t be) and the baby inside was kicking me at the same
time. So I was being hit and kicked by my children- nice huh! haha it’s
ok though both children bring me much joy, yes even the one I haven’t
met yet.

Speaking of which- Andy got to feel the baby kick last night. YAY,
we’ve been patiently waiting and trying to get him to feel it – so we
were happy!

Oh and before I forget ME was weighed and meaured and she gained a
little weight so that was good, she’s gotten past 24 lbs now and she’s
just a smidge over 31 inches. Still a peanut but she’s still moving in
the right direction!

Lots more going on right now, this weekend was full of fun with the
bridal shower for Amber, I will be sharing lots of pics within the next
couple days- so be on the look out! 🙂
