OK. So I have been slacking on blogging but I do have a good excuse. By the time I get up in the morning to help get kids ready for school, go to work, hurry home to work on the house while having to have Jolee hang on me so that I don't vanish, check homework, make sure the kids are taken care of and then hopefully get them to bed on time I just don't feel like blogging. But here it is 6:40 in the morning and I am ready for the new day. Granted the new day started a few hours ago but anyways...
Maycee is doing great. She is completely off of the oxygen now and her feeding has improved to the point where they have not had to tube feed her lately. This is all great news because it means that they are working on the checklist of things she has to do to be able to come home. It looks like it could be as early as Friday but more likely sometime over the weekend. Darcy has to take a few parenting classes that are required by the NICU to get discharged. Seems a bit odd that they wait until your sixth kid to give you the parenting class. I am more curious if they have a parenting your teenager class but I am sure that's run by the mental health department.
With any luck come Monday we will be back to life as usual.
As a side note, Darcy has been told by some of the doctors and nurses that they are amazed at Maycee's recovery. A lot of kids that get PPHN as bad as she did will spend more than a month in the NICU. We know that her recovery was greatly helped by all of our family and friends praying for her and for that we are truly grateful.
