Happy Mother's Day (Weekend) - May 10-11

So I didn't get to come see you Friday because Big Big had an orthodontist appointment and it was family picnic day at school so I got to have lunch with both sisters and then spent the rest of the afternoon doing laundry and working in getting your room ready for you and your new equipment. Your nurse said you had a great day, spent some time in your swing and some time of the floor for PT and slept REALLY good from about 4 until shift change at 7, then went back to sleep after your bath at about 9 and slept all night.

Saturday, Daddy had to work the last of the graduation ceremonies (so glad that's over!) so you and I had some fun at the hospital! You sat in your chair and watched people for about an hour. It wasn't as exciting as days before though because there weren't as many people here. We spent some time playing and you took a really good nap. They put you in your swing around 5 and you sat and watched people until shift change and then went to sleep for the night. At some point the nurses worked on these:

Sunday was the day to put Daddy through the paces - he got to help with a mobility exercise, learned (and did) trach care, and helped with the trach change - he pulled it out, I put it back in. And he did GREAT!! We had a little bit slower afternoon, we went over the vent settings and Daddy learned about the set up and tubing and connectors. To add to the list of great gifts I've gotten for Mother's Day (I got an angel and chocolates from Big Big, a portrait from Little Big, flowers from Daddy and a card from you and Daddy) they signed off on all of my trach training today!!! Later this evening they'll do the car seat study (standard for all releases) - hopefully you remember how much you started to like the car seat!

I love you Baby Girl!
