More Ellie

· Brian

Day 2 has been better. Ellie has come off nearly all of her medicines and tubes. The doctors have started letting her eat now that she’s keeping oxygen in her blood in strong amounts.

Hospital Update

· Janie

I don’t have any pictures to add of our new little one because she’s been in NICU since about 3pm yesterday. Because she was so early, she is having a few complications, but hopefully nothing major. Her blood-sugar level was really low, and her oxygen levels were not great either. She was having to work very hard to …

Painting Nails!

A few weeks ago for Easter, I painted my toenails. I usually am not one to have painted fingernails, but spring – fall, I tend to keep my toes colored.
