Decannulation is a go
As Jessica posted earlier, Namine passed her sleep study. This means one thing: decannulation!

Fries and ketchup, hold the fries
We went out this evening, with the intention of stopping by the UPS store to pick up a package, going to dinner, and stopping by Jess’s mom’s apartment before heading back home. Let’s just say things didn’t exactly go to plan. That’s okay, though. We still had a fun time out together, and we got…

Picnic day, part 2
I never got a chance to post about the rest of our picnic day, when we went to my uncle’s for the Eiche family get-together.

The kids, they are a-changin’
Namine is getting so big, we can hardly believe it. I have some momentous news, and it involves wheels. We went to a special needs donation center called Katy’s Kloset – think of it as a Goodwill for disabled people, for lack of a better description – and found a little wheelchair for Namine.

Father’s day
If I have any regrets as a father, it is that Namine will never meet on this side of heaven her Grandpa Tarver. I have met few people so unafraid to speak exactly what is on their mind. When I first met him, I thought him to be a harsh man. I thank God for…

In the ER again
So we’re in the ER once more. Namine has pretty bad secretions and cough again, but the main reason we’re here is a little more delicate. I hope she won’t need to be admitted, but we’ll see, I suppose. We’re still waiting for them to actually do something.

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. As for my mother-in-law, she probably should have gone back to the ER tonight. She’s got bruises where she didn’t before, with no explanation for them,…

A Tale of Two Hospital Visits
My mother-in-law just got out of the hospital last night. The doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with her heart, so there was really no choice but to discharge her. So Jessica and I picked her up yesterday evening, and on the way home, about 35 minutes after we’d left the hospital, my mom called me…

Quality time in the ER
Well, kids, it’s been another exciting day. Jessica’s mom is in the hospital again. She was complaining of chest pains, so off to the ER again. Lots of waiting and one CT scan later, it was determined that it was her heart, and not her lungs. Beyond that, I couldn’t tell you. As usual, they…

Holy crap, an update
Yes, kids, it’s been a while since our last update. I blame hospital visits for that one.

A prayer request
Jessica told me that doctors found something wrong with the son of our home nurse. His name is Phil, and I’d like to ask everyone to keep him in your prayers. Thanks, and have a Merry Christmas.
