  • Picnic day

    We went to the zoo this morning for the CHW Herma Heart Center’s picnic. Namine got a free HHC t-shirt. (siblings could get free shirts as well, but parent have to pay. What a gyp.) We saw a couple of doctors (including Dr. Mitchell!) and some other people we recognized but couldn’t place.

  • Fair weather

    We went to the Wisconsin State Fair yesterday. Well, I just went after work, but Jessica and Namine spent the afternoon there. It was a good day for it; maybe too good, since I think Namine is feeling a little crispy today. Despite a little sunburn and some sore legs, though, a good time was…

  • Movie night

    Jess, Namine and I went to see Marmaduke at the budget theater yesterday evening. Of course we’d never taken Namine to a movie theater before; we didn’t know how she’d do. But we figured, hey, it’s just $2 per person and Namine herself was free, so why not give it a try?

  • Rummage sale!

    You know, all too often we focus on the bad and forget about the good. So I end up posting when Namine has surgery, or is sick, or something goes wrong. But the point of her blog is not just to document and communicate her problems and issues, but also to tell people about how…

  • Vacation

    We made it to my aunt’s house around 4 this afternoon. When I took Namine out of the car, hoo boy was she sweaty. Thank goodness the weather is nice, though. Yesterday Namine had her pre-op clinic visit, necessary prior to surgery next week. Everything is looking good, and she’s approved for the repair. So,…

  • 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…

  • Sunday school and volleyball

    It’s been a full day. Kinda hard to believe that it’s already 4 in the pm, actually. The day flew by!

  • Craziness

    Well it has been a crazy weekend and a crazy week ahead. Namine doesn’t have any appointments this week, but starting next Friday I think we have one every day for the next couple of weeks. I will try and take a whole bunch of pictures and put them up for everyone. I shouldn’t say…

  • Holy Cow Where Has The Time Gone!

    Hello everyone, I am so sorry that we have not been keeping up on this. It is has been a long and fantastic ride being home. We have celebrated our very first holiday home!!!! YAY!! We almost thought that we weren’t going to be able to. She came down with a viral infection the week…
