Happy birthday Namine!
Namine turns 2 today! She’s come so far in such a short time, but it doesn’t feel like a short time. We’ve been through so much, and she’s just as strong, if not stronger. Judging by how sassy she is lately, she is definitely 2. I think she’s most likely eat more cake this time…

Sleep, perchance to dream
Namine is asleep, at last. Since we’re here in the hospital, and she’s feeling so crappy, we have temporarily suspended our rule that Namine is to nap no later than 5, maybe 6 in the evening.

She’s been on an antibiotic for roughly a week now, but that doesn’t seem to be helping. Namine started to gag this evening during one of many suctionings (is that even a…

Hospital
Hello Everyone, I just wanted to quickly update everyone. We had to bring Namine in on Sunday to the Hospital. She was having crazy heart rates. They still don’t know what was causing it and they sent us home today. If I get a video of her laughing and talking then I will have Paul…

We Hate Being Sick!!
Warm weather what have you done. You have made our allergies go bonkers, bonkers, bonkers so my poor husband is sicker than a dog. He aches and sneezes his ribs hurt from falling on the ice, our room is littered with Kleenex (oh wait he picked them up). Namine is stuck at CHW I hope…
