I enjoyed the debate last night. As I mentioned earlier, I was mostly excited about it because of the venue. I think that I may actually be a little less undecided after last night. Now that I got that out of the way, I’m pretty fired up for the weekend lineup. Since I’m out tomorrow, … Continue reading Thursday is the new Friday→
As far as updates on Piper’s condition, there really isn’t anything major. She is still doing well. This weekend we took a lot of pictures with Piper, even though she as a bit grumpy, both times we saw her. We had a lot of fun with her though. Since Deanna was with us, we were … Continue reading Piper’s weekend→
Fall has shifted into high gear. This last weekend, I could especially feel it in the weather. Since it is now October, there are some pretty fun times right around the corner. This coming weekend is the Hartford Marathon. I’m getting pretty excited/nervous about the event. It should be a total blast. I’m am a … Continue reading Good times ahead→
After having such a blast with Piper yesterday, I had convinced myself that Piper was nearing superhero status, and would have no problem breathing without the vent today. Apparently that wasn’t the case. According to her nurse, she “lasted a whole half of a minute.” Oh well. We are still super proud of you Piper, … Continue reading Trache collar is a no go.→
This morning I was able to sleep in a bit, which is always nice. Since this is general conference weekend, there were no regular church meetings for us to attend. The conference, (which we are able to watch from the comfort of our living room), did not start until noon, eastern time. Since my Ma … Continue reading Pretty awesome day→
I spoke to Piper’s nurse, bright and early this morning. They still haven’t tried her on the trache collar again, yet. They have put her on the weening protocol again, though. By Friday, if she is doing well on the rate of 10, then they will give it another shot. I was also pleased to … Continue reading It’s a good day for a PJ update→
Piper was in good form this weekend, as usual. She had developed a mysterious rash Friday night. But it didn’t seem to be slowing her down at all. By Sunday it was visibly much better. Reagan’s friend Amanda was in town visiting this weekend. We all had a fun time hanging out. It was her … Continue reading Piper news→
Piper’s trial period on the trache collar yesterday only lasted for about 10 minutes. When speaking with the nurses, it seemed like they didn’t really want to push things, especially without the doctor there. The nurse said that they would most likely try again today, this time her doctor will be there. Keep your fingers … Continue reading Update→
I was going to wait until we came back from PA this weekend to say anything, but I can’t wait that long. Even though Piper slept during out entire visit yesterday, it was a very exciting visit, just for the fact that we learned of 2 very exciting (for us) items of news. The first … Continue reading More encouraging news→
I know it is lame, but I am generally hesitant to write about Piper’s achievements. The reason, is that historically when I have chosen to announce what we took to be certain milestones, etc., she would invariably suffer a huge setback a day or two later. I am crossing my fingers (and toes) that this … Continue reading Piper would like to share her news→
