New Car Seat

Casey is growing so fast. We finally moved from the baby car seat to the forward facing seat. She is SOOOO much happier. She will actually chill out and sleep in her new seat. She is able to use the DVD player now too. Her and Tim watched one of her videos on her first …

Recovering Well

Tim is finally starting to feel a lot better. He is still taking some pain pills, but much less than before. He is able to walk some and stays awake downstairs most of the day now. The only bad side is that he is also starting to get very stir crazy. We went out yesterday …

Casey Stuff

Casey has been such a good girl. She really prefers to stay home and cuddle all day, but she has been going out for over a week now. We are using the stroller attachment for her feeder seat now and it seems to help when we have her out. She is MUCH more comfortable. We …

Back Home

Tim came home on Thursday evening. He was sent home with a lot of pain, but he was able to get out of bed, eat and all of the things he has to do so they said he was able to go home. Megan left Thursday morning and Molly came out in her place that …

Tim recovering at home

I am now continuing my recovery at home from surgery. Pain management was a real issue at the hospital, which is mostly what slowed my release. It feels better to be at home, but most of my time right now is spent in bed in specific positions that are comfortable. Getting out of bed is …

Many people have been asking what actually happened. Over the past few weeks we started with a partial story and have been piecing things together. Some of you that have talked to us on the phone many have parts of the story, but for all that are curious here is the whole story. Shortly after …

We’re Home!!!!

We are finally home. This was a really long hard stay but we are all so glad to be back home. Casey was discharged around lunch today and we just finished getting her and all of her stuff settled at the house. She seems to be feeling a lot better. She is very tired (as …

Out of intensive care

Casey is getting much stronger, and was taken off the ventilator and moved out of the intensive care unit. Over the last couple days, she has had an upper GI test so surgery can decide what types of procedures they recommend and how urgently they should be scheduled, since another pneumonia from reflux/aspiration would be …

Casey has turned the corner

After 10 days in Intensive Care, the doctors have finally used our favorite phrase “turned the corner,” letting us breathe a huge sigh of relief that it’s when and not if we will be bringing Casey home. Her lungs have continued to recover slowly, and even her platelets have rebounded a bit. The respiratory team …
