Day 18.....

This has definitely been a long road for us the last couple of weeks. Kate had a spontaneous trial off her vent last night and didn't do very well. So, we're going to give her a couple more days and see how she does before considering taking her off the vent completely. She has let us know that she is doing things on "Kate's Time." So, we just need to be patient. She has slept most of the day, except for long enough to blow out her diaper (literally BLOW out). It's great though that she is getting good rest and not fighting the tubes. She has seemed to heal really well from her surgery and is doing great with her feedings, with no sign of reflux....yay! We think this will really help her.

Hi Marcae,
It's been a long time since we have seen each other and chatted, but I just wanted to drop you a little note. I am so sorry you are having so many struggles with your beautiful little Kate's health. I look at your blog from time to time, and I am just so impressed with you, your spirits,and your faith. Kate is a very lucky little girl to have such an amazing mommy. I wished I lived closer so I could go on outings with you and Lacey. I'm still in good ole Cedar, so if you are ever wanting a trip down memory lane- stop by. Good luck with everything. I hope Kate continues to get better. You will be in my prayers...

I second what Angie said about your spirit and faith. Kate has the best mom in the whole world! I'm excited for Friday. I'll call you tomorrow and we can decide what classes we want to go to.
