  • Namine’s Exam

    Hello Everyone,Namine had her cath exam this morning/afternoon. She went down at 11 and didn’t come back until 2:30. She was supposed to go down at 10, but I have no idea why it was so late by the time they came and got her. Well enough with the jibber jabber. The cath doctor told…

  • Rewind

    Namine is not home. She was supposed to come home last Friday but her heart rate was still high and she had a few destats. We talked with cardiology and the resident and they decided to keep her over the weekend for further observation. They also wanted to keep her until the cardiologists had time…

  • Home!

  • 4th Floor

    Hello all,Namine has finally moved to the 4th floor. We moved up yesterday. She is doing a world better than when we brought her in, but she still has a way to go. It is not her heart thank God, but it her lungs. The HME is causing to much stress when we have to…
