There isn’t much to report from Sunday, on the Piper front. Her doctors decided that it was a good idea to put her back on a paralytic today, because that is the only effective way that they have discovered, so far, to keep her from de-saturating. When she starts to wake up, even a little … Continue reading A room with a view (of rain)→
Piper had a pretty uneventful day, Saturday. Being that she tends to become agitated and de-sat when she is awake, she was kept a bit more sedated. The doctors took another X-ray of her in the evening, which came back almost the same as it was Thursday. Although we would have liked to have had … Continue reading Nothing really new→
An echocardiogram (not sure if that is how it is spelled) revealed that pulmonary hypertension, which Piper has historically suffered from, is not playing a factor in what is going on currently. In other words, the results revealed nothing abnormal with her heart, that the doctor believed wasn’t being caused by her pneumonia. So, that … Continue reading No Pulmonary Hypertension→
We found out yesterday that Piper hadn’t been feeling too hot, since Monday night. They said that she was having respiratory distress, and would be sending her to Columbia, if she could’t stabilize by 8. We got a call shortly after 7 that she had worsened and that they had some parametics taking her to … Continue reading Piper is not feeling too hot→
Piper seems to be doing well. She is definitely acting like her spunky self, again. We went to visit her very early today, and were able to have several quality hours with her. We can tell that she is still trying to shake the final stages of the bug that was causing her so much … Continue reading PJ News→
For the title, I was going to use “this n’ that,” again. But, I already used that earlier this week. “Ramble on” works better anyway, because it kind of invokes the Led Zeppelin song. Here is le scoop: Piper wasn’t feeling too hot earlier this week. Apparently she had a minor case of pneumonia. Luckily … Continue reading Ramble on→
I’m always amazed by the way that this chica can look hot doing just about anything (including bogarting the final mini-guarana that came back from Brazil with us). Antartica Refrigerante de Guarana, forevah. We may or may not have made out after I took these photos.
Wednesday, Reagan and I took Reagan’s parents down to the Brooklyn Bridge. Every time that I walk across it, I think the same thing: “I don’t do this enough.” Even though it was only 29 degrees, we had a really fun time. Toward the end, Reagan did get a little bit pouty about the cold. … Continue reading Bk Bridge→
Saturday night, we had a really fun visit with Piper. Our friends the Smoots came with us. It was really fun to watch their little daughter Stella play with Piper. Stella was really sweet to Piper, and Piper was completely mesmerized by Stella. Piper is moving back to Wanaque in NJ this week. Tomorrow, to … Continue reading Monkey PJs→
Last night, Reagan and I went to a church on the east side to watch a live nativity with some of our friends. Afterward, we ate at this Brazilian place called Zebu, on 92nd and 2nd. It was pretty awesome food. I woke up bright and early this morning with an excited little wife tugging … Continue reading Merry Christmas→
