Hangin' in There

4/4/07

Hi guys, well we're all still doing alright. MariaH's been spendin' a little more time at home but now some babies at the NICU are coming down with some kind of stomach flu so no one except for the parents are allowed in, including MariaH. She doesn't really like it but hopefully it will only be a little longer before Jimi is home & then she can see him everyday. My sister, NevaeH still hasn't even met Jimi yet. No one under 12 can go in so she has only ever seen Jimi through pictures.

Baby Jimi had a blood transfusion yesterday. We are hoping that will help a lot with his Apnea spells. They also might take him off the Zantac & Reglan and start Prilosec. I don't understand why we didn't just start off with Prilosec since it's stronger and has less side effects. Plus one side effect of Zantac is shortness of breath. Why they would give medicine that causes shortness of breath to a preemie who already has breathing problems is beyond me. Anyway, hopefully the two things will stop those annoying spells. We are hoping that this transfusion in the answer to our all of our prayers. We'll just have to wait & see!


MariaH-Lee so proud to be a big sister!
I think he looks a little like me in this picture. Cutie!

He's such a little porker - he really is a "Gonzales!"
