Another day...

Millie has been struggling to meet her feeding goal today. Hopefully she'll be able to make up for her lost time and reach her goal by midnight, but we're afraid that starting to get regularly scheduled Valium has hit her appetite. She needs 510mL of formula each day. Other than that all is well. :)

Family Time :)

Labor Day weekend was very exciting for us! We had a lot of family visit and had a great time :)

 Caleb playing XBox.

 Josh with Millie :) 

 Caleb and Austin. 

Aunt Julie and Josh 

Caleb being flung around :P

Oops! Lost his shoe to the harbor. :)

Dad, Cathy, and John come to meet Ms. Millie :) 

Out at The Green Turtle. Pretty decent place. d

Austin and I on the water taxi. A lot of fun!

USS Constellation 

9/11 Memorial, with steel from the World Trade Center and limestone from the Pentagon. 

Donna and Millie! 

Our wrinkly hands side by side :P 

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle...

Ms. Millie has been more and more active, which unfortunately isn't good for healing. So she'll start getting valium every 6hrs, and some another as needed. Other than that she is looking wonderful.

We have lots of visitors this weekend! :) Pictures to come :D

Matt meets Millie !

Austin's good friend Matt got to stop by and see Millie for the first time :)

Trying to get fat :P

Right now Millie's only challenge is eating more, and we're seeing a really big improvement already! We're confident that we'll be able to stay away from a feeding tube :)

No picc line for Millie

Millie went back to the OR today to get her PICC line put in. Well, after 3 hours there was no luck! The PICC nurse was pretty disappointed and said she'd not had this much trouble in a very very long time. The doctors decided to just keep her IJ central cath where it was, rather than attempting to put in an indwelling catheter. Other than that she is doing good, and should be waking up from the anesthesia soon :)

New Toys :)

Millie got an overhanging arrangement to keep her entertained! Seems to be doing an alright job so far :)
