Smile

Heaven said she is smiling and waving.  I said pooping!   Great photo

Braces

Yesterday Heaven had her orthodontist appointment yesterday.  Before and after pictures. It's kind of weird how they do braces.  She will have perfect straight teeth in no time. 

Long day

What a day.  Started off with no sleep for two days now and I am getting sick. Took Heaven to vbs at 9am.  Then took one of the cats to the vet to put her down due to chronic pain and medication was not working.  Then picked up Heaven.  Took Abigail to doctors because of vomiting and fussy for a week.  While we were there Heaven got her next round of shots.  Doctor thought Abigail had pyloric vavle issues and we got sent to get an ultra sounds right away. The ultra sound tech said things look good but we have to wait for the doctor to get the results.  It's now 330 so we stopped for a quick but to eat.  Got home feed Abigail and I slept with her for  an hour.  Had dinner, went to neighbor for there daughters first birthday and now it's 8pm and I am going to bed.

Photo shoot

Abigail had her first photo shoot yesterday.  She loves looking at the camera instead of sleeping so she was cranky.  What can you expect from a three week old baby.  She did good
Here is the link if you don't have Facebook or want to order some.  Please do not post the military ones on line

Another week

Monday Abigail went in for another check. She is 6.06 pounds, off the neuno sure formula and solid breast milk.  She is still on oxygen as they tested her off of it but her levels went down to 88 percent not good.  Her ego and cardiology appointment is August 5th.  She is doing great, sleeping for three hours and only cries when she is hungry.  

Heaven is at rainbow trail camp for this whole week. So we have a quiet house.  Jons tile work for the shower is almost done. Should be done with tile tomorrow and grout next week.

Updates for May and June

May 19th was Heaven's court date.  Her mother did not show and the judge set a court date for July 13th for a permintance hearing.  That is one set closer to adoption.  Also social services submitted to the courts to terminate mom's rights.  We will know about that on July 13th.

May 22nd was the girls last day of school.  They are now going to be middle schoolers next fall.

May 27th the big Birthday!  Here are the detail from the doctors report since my memory is a little short with some of these details:
Abigail was born at 7:54 am weight was 5.9 pounds and 18.5 inches.  Her Apgar was an 8 and then dropped to a 7.  She is A positive blood.  Abigail came out crying but after a minute being born she stopped breathing (resparory distress syndrome).  They breathed for her, intubated her, put curosurf in her lungs, extubated her (pulled the tube out) and put her on Cpap.  Chest x-ray showed she had fluid in the lungs but no nemo, and no pneomoina.  They also thought she was septic (infected) but after blood work they said that was clear.  Abigail became Jaundice on the 29th.  she went under lights, then her lab work stated she was good for a couple of days and then it came back and went under the lights again. On June 1 she was pulled off the big Cpap and placed on Vapotherm cpap, also her mouth feeding tube came out and she got a nose feeding tube this day (which means she can start trying to feed her by mouth).  On June 4th she was placed on a nasal canula.   On June 5th they found a heart murmur, and Abigail got her first ECO on her heart.  The childrens cardiologist stated it might be an PFO or ASD, but her heart was too small to see right now what was going on.  She can out grown it by the time she is full term, or when she is a kid, or she might had it for life.  Worse case is a hole in her heart.  She will see the specialist again in two months.  Also on the 5th was her last time getting fed by the nasal feeding tube.  She ate all of her food by bottle or breast. 
Mom Left on June 7th in the morning, Thank you mom for all your help while you were here.  Heaven misses you already.
Abigail was relese on June 7th at 630pm with oxygen, after being in the nicu for 12 days.
June 8th was her first doctors appointment and her weight was 5.14 pounds, 21 inch long.  Growing big girl.

Olivia left on June 4th to see her mother.  She will be back July 22nd.  Just to let you know we are in a huge custody battle with her mom over a ly Olivia told her mom.  Please pray for Olivia and her health and well being as she has changed into a different negative person.  Her mother started the custody and wants her full time, Olivia wants to move with her mom but we feel that is not good for Olivia.  I will keep you posted on that statue when she returns. 

Heaven is doing great, she leaves for Lutheran bible camp for a week in the woods and no parents this sunday.  She is excited about that.
