This board has been so quiet. So... that means either everyone's kiddos are so sick we have no time to post OR everyone's kiddos are doing so well we have nothing to post about!!!

Teeter is doing okay... nothing earth shattering happening with his health lately.

We're all doing good. Abbie was happy to be home. She kept her aunt nonna up at night. And I know the other kids will be happy to be home tomorrow.

We're doing great here! Em just had her Kindergarten EOYC (end of year ceremony) on Wed. and finished the year going all day, every day for the last 3 weeks. We are looking forward to a long happy summer with lots of family fun AND no hospital stays!

We have a cardio check-up on Monday. I will post after that if I have anything exciting to report. Glad to hear everybody's kiddos are doing good.

We just hit over ten weeks in the hospital (8 PICU and the last 2 med surge). We'll be hanging out here until after Cameron's 2nd stage Glenn. I'm guessing we'll go home in August, if things go well. He's still being fed in his jejunum, but it still aspirating on the secretions he's coughing up. His sat limit has been lowered to 60. The last 3 days he has lost weight, so we're trying to figure that out (his formula is already supplemented with oil) too. And, he's in the beginning stages of osteopenia, due to all of the lasix he has needed. His bones are starting to de-mineralize and at some point he fractured a rib (possibly during one of his open heart surgeries). Wow that turned into a book. He just got his pic line out yesterday and is finally done with his IV antibiotics. Here's to no more infections!

As for us, we're still waiting to see if the military will approve my husband's reassignment here. And if all this stuff wasn't enough, I'm taking an online math class. Fun.

Wow, ddwife. Sounds like you are going through some tough stuff. Will the bone fragility stabilize or is that something he will always live with? Hang in there.
