Who's the cutest girl around?

I am a mom of a cutie pie (very biased). And I wanted to share my experiences with others (including my cuties grandparents, great-grandparents, numerous uncles and other relatives). I love being a mom and can't imagine doing anything else.

Grrrrr

we can't go home till we have 24 hours without oxygen. She wasn't on oxygen from 6-11 tonight but as soon as she falls asleep her stats drop and we are back on oxygen. don't know how long that will go one. it is pretty frustrating just being here for that. all her meds are now oral, she isn't even on any IV's and so she just accessed for no reason (just in case) and we'll be here indefinelty. obviously it will be at least Sunday now before we're home. Even if she spends the entire day off oxygen tomorrow we have to make it through tomorrow night without it. pray for strength for me and for everyone else. nights here are so long and no one gets much sleep. its hard to entertain her all day long in the little tiny room when she feels fine and would like to be running around playing. At least tomorrow she'll only have to pulse oxygen monitor so she'll be able to get around faster. I definelty think its harder to be here when things are going well then going poorly (not that I'm wanting poorly). but when things are going really well you just want to get out while you can and its hard watching another day go by with no hope of going home.

obviously i'm overtired and a bit discourage tonight. excuse my ramblings.

Hi, Emily - I can only imagine how frustrating and discouraging this situation is. I am praying that Livi needs no extra oxygen tonight and you can go home tomorrow. You have hung in there remarkably well with all the stress and so little real sleep. God bless, and I'll keep praying -

Still praying for home. And praying thanks that you've remained healthy through all of this.

One day you and your daughter will look back on this and your daughter will marvel at how strong her mother was/is, no matter how tired or discouraged she became....

Emily,
Thank God you are young while this is happening! We are still praying for you and James and Alivia. We are praying you get sleep in the hospital and you have as much energy as you need to get you all the way through this entire ordeal. Love, Aunt Cheryl

Hey, Emily! Just wanted to let you know we've been busy getting ready for our move and we were away this weekend, but we have NOT forgotten you! We've been praying and wearing our Baby Livi fashion accessories! :)

We love you and will pray you will be home soon, soon, soon! It is so good to hear that she is on the mend. I know you are exhausted.

Peace and rest to you...
Julie
