  • A day in the life

    We found out today that our home nurse has some health problems. We’d ask that you all keep her (her name is Sharon) in your prayers. We hope that nothing serious is wrong. We nearly had a heart attack just a few moments ago. Namine is in bed, and she probably didn’t fall asleep too…

  • Nightly roundup

    Well, kids, no new news. As far as I know, my grandpa is still in the hospital. Nothing on what might be wrong, other than a bad ear infection.

  • A Tale of Two Hospital Visits

    Namine had clinic visits galore today. She had a swallow study, determining how well she can eat and drink; a pre-surgery meeting with Dr. Denny, her plastic surgeon; and a visit to GI (gastrointestinal).

  • Poopiness

    Well I don’t know where to begin.  Namine started with just more secretions and a slight fever at the beginning of the which grew to no fever, but vomiting and diarrhea like crazy.  She has had probably about 7 blowouts since Friday.  We have talked with her pulmanologist and the regular pediatrician and now the…
