  • Health update

    In case you were wondering, Namine hates shots. The other day, she got her Synagis shot (for RSV) – and at least one other, I’m pretty sure – but there was too much to give in one go. So even though the dosage was for a single shot, they gave her one in each leg.…

  • Not home yet

    We had planned on Namine coming home yesterday, but that didn’t happen because she’s had more secretions than usual.

The clinic doctor gave…

  • YAY for equipment changes.

    Man oh man. If everyone were trained to make changes that would be exciting for us. We had a couple of doctors visits this past week and they made some vent changes. The first changes I could do myself, but the other changes neither Paul or myself could change so we have to wait for…
