7/26/10
Since it has been really quite quiet with Josie the last few days on Floor 7, I haven't posted much. We are very pleased and excited for all the good reports we are having about Josie. I was told at one point today that the doctors and nurses in their rounds are calling her a miracle baby. She sure is!!! We are truly blessed.
Today has turned out much more crazy than I anticipated. Marc was planning on going back to work today - he still did go, but he ended up going in later. Josie's CAT scan was moved to 9am (was at 5am), so when Marc got here to the hospital, he ended up waiting - hoping to talk with the neurosurgeon before he went to work. He left at 11:30 and of course the doctor came at noon. It was all good though and the CAT scan of Josie's head is looking good. YEAH!
From that meeting with the doctor, I ended up talking to so many other doctors, nurses, specialist and friends. Somewhere in there I was supposed to take a nap...it didn't happen. :) Everyone is coming to meet with us to prep us for going home.
Home...it's a wonderful, yet terrifying word. I am trying to turn my worries into trust in God as I hear these words. I truly believe we will be equipped by everyone here to handle the transition, but it will be quite the transition. For example, one of the discharge nurses is going to create a calendar for us with meds and dosage and other such information. Any help we can get...the better!
We were worried about Josie's neck having a kink in it because she likes to always look to her left side, but thankfully, PT (Physical Therapist) came today and let us know that she is only a little tweeked that way and promptly showed me techniques to get her to go the opposite way - and they work!!! Tried them already!
Lots of other information that I won't go into, but wanted to let you all know that Josie is doing well. We still covet your prayers as this next stage of life is going to be just as crazy, but in a different way.
We are thanking God for such a miraculous recovery that Josie is making. We couldn't have made it through without all of your prayers being lifted up on our behalf for our baby girl and our family.
Blessings,
Darcia
*By the way - big sisters are coming home tomorrow! Can't wait to see them - they've had a GREAT "vacation" with Uncle Josh and Aunt Tara and of course their cousins!
