Well, as much as I didn’t want to sleep here last night, it actually wasn’t all that bad. They recently added on to the hospital, and the cardiology department is in a whole new section. The patient rooms are private now, with their own bathrooms. There’s a flat screen tv with internet access, a little…

Update From The Hospital
This morning we had our normal Cardiology appointment to do his monthly EKG and Echo. I had also been waiting to hear from Children’s Hospital on when we would be coming in for Stephen’s procedure to clot the aneurysm. The cardiologist took a look at the lump and we all noticed immediately that it had…
Surgery Avoided!
Well things move quickly in the ranks of Children’s Hospital. We really do have the best doctors! We left our cardiologist appointment at 10am and by 2pm, I was on my way to CHLA since they squeezed us in for an ultrasound on the aneurysm. The ultrasound took some time with this little wiggle worm,…
We Can't Take Anymore Surprises!!
Stephen had his Cath Lab done last Friday, and the results were what they expected. Which was good news. I was waiting to update until I was clear on the details, so I’ll get more into that later. His recovery from surgery was amazing. He was groggy and grumpy in the hospital, but as soon…
7 Months Old
Baby: What a fun little guy we’ve got on our hands. He is now rolling over both ways. If I leave him alone for a few minutes, I often wonder how he got to where he ended up. Such a little mover. We have been practicing sitting up, but I don’t think it will happen…
Cardio Catheterization
My anxiety is building a little. Stevie has a small procedure tomorrow called a cardio catheterization, which is sort of like an angiogram or angioplasty (which I didn’t know what that was until the doc explained it). Basically the cardiologist will make a small incision in the groin area and run a tube up through…
Cali-Bound
My brother and his wife FINALLY came to visit! They live all the way over in Southern Missouri (close to Joplin) and took quite a road-trip for their vacation. They stopped in New Mexico and Arizona before reaching us and will be stopping in Utah and Nebraska on their way home. I had so much…
Woo-hoo!
Hey everyone! I just sat up for a whole 3 seconds. AND I rolled from my belly to my back about 6 times. It was quite the exciting day around here! P.S. Mom’s computer is back up and running. Thanks, Dad!
Save Me Geek Squad!
Fourth of July was the dreaded day. I downloaded some pictures from my phone to back them up and CRASH! went my computer. Still don’t know why, but Windows took a dive and needs to be reinstalled. My husband is tech support around these parts, but he has been so busy with work (getting-home-at-2am-busy) that…
Mommy Faux Pas #6
Stevie has been sleeping in a Pack N Play at the foot of our bed. We needed to give each other some space. At about 2am, I usually pull him back into bed with us for a quick bottle and we all go back to sleep. This time, hubs and I fell back asleep, but…
