Well, Casey has had quite a good day – she is breathing on her own and is getting some flexibility back after a hard couple days. Tomorrow is a new day and we are very thankful for today.
Ventilator off, sunbathing
Casey finally got her ventilator tube taken out this morning and is stable. They are still giving her oxygen though a nasal canula. If she remains stable today they will schedule a CT end of the day or tomorrow morning. She is definitely much happier without the tube in her throat. She is wiggling her …
Marty moving and Casey Updates
It looks like Marty will be moving out of ICU today into the post-partem recovery area today if things stay stable. This is great since we are on the 2nd floor right now and post-partem is on the 4th floor across from NICU. Casey had head ultrasound and EEG done yesterday but the specialist was …
First Video from the NICU
Marty finally stabilized enough to get in a wheelchair and go to the NICU to see Casey around 5pm PST. Her color is much better and her breathing and heart rate have slowed down a bit from a high level that everyone was concerned about. Here is a movie I brought back to Marty earlier …
It’s a girl!
Well, the baby arrived quick and unexpected, but she is here. Marty and baby Casey are both in ICU here at St. John’s in Santa Monica. They haven’t been able to see each other yet, which has been really hard, but I am trying to relay status, pictures, and videos as much as possible. The …
I can see the finish line….

Less Than 5 Weeks Left…
No doctor appointments this week, but we do have a few other things to report on. Tim and I finished our birthing classes last night. I guess we are as ready as we are going to be. We learned a few good stretches and techniques to use to help with the pain of labor. The …
34 down – 6 to go
So yesterday was a pretty busy and exciting day for Tim and I. Tim did a race on Sunday and got bit by something on his leg. The bite did not want to heal so we started out our day with him going to the doctor to get his bite checked out. Turns out it …
Hospital Tour
Today was a our tour day. Tim and I went to the hospital this morning for a full tour of labor and delivery. The group was really big. Lots of pregos in the area right now. We were able to see the nursery, a birthing room, they showed us recovery, the c-section area, lactation area, …
Better Safe than Sorry
I always thought I was not going to be the over protecting mother that would freak out at the drop of a hat, but it turns out I was wrong. The baby is not even here yet and I am already freaking out about stuff. The baby is VERY active almost all of the time. …
