(me. BG. Loser. You SHOULD'VE GOTTEN THIS DAYS ago....)
JANUARY 8, 2011...........from Florence's Daddy...
Evening all– We've been on a roller coaster the last couple of days. Florence wasn't gaining weight, low hemoglobin levels, and liver function problems. We had great doctors that did a quick fix on the hemoglobin and gave her shots for her liver. The brest milk is being fortified to raise the calorie count to put the weight on Florence. I can't imagine A's breast milk is too low in calories. Anyway we had thought that Florence would had been home already, but the doctors had to get some things worked out and they did. Needless to say it's been a rough couple of days waiting on results of test and trying to figure the liver and weight things out. To say that the last couple of says have been anything less than great is an understatement, but today we had an amazing day. SHE'S HOME!!
SHE’S HOME!!!
I know that it all happens for a reason and so many lessons have been learned and taught to A and I. I know that I have a deeper appreciation for my daughters, our health, and my faith. A and I are so excited to have Florence home. We'd love to have everyone come and see her. But her immune system is weak, her lungs are vulnerable, and RSV season is upon us.... she's basically been in a bubble. So not to be rude but please give us a call before you head over. We don't want to be difficult, but we have to protect her until her immune system gets built up. We’re asking for a week please.
For all the prayers, calls, food, presents, and kind words....we can not thank you enough. We know it's not totally over with her health, but we are so much further along than we thought we'd be just a week ago. We are so blessed; we had great news and remarkable results. Makes me sad to know how close we were to loosing her and how close we were to having such different results. There are those that aren't as fortunate as us and many many babies that aren't as blessed as ours...please keep these guys in your prayers. These little guys are our littlest miracles; please remember them.
Love and Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
