Silly Picture Monday in NICU 10/24/11 @ 5:53pm

Hi, just got back to RmcD house & the internet is working!! Yea! Gary left around 1pm, and it was a slow afternoon in th NICU.. that means the nurses get a little silly & of course with their jobs, sometimes they need a good laugh too!

Here's Gracie's 2 silly nurses with 'fangs', Susan on left & Margo on right!!  I have a picture of all 3 of us too.. silly people!!

The good news is the silliness helped them concentrate 5 minutes later to give Gracie an IV..and they got one in her hand.  We are buying our time not to give her a pic line, because if she needs it for surgery that's great..but not in this week that we're trying to get her to grow.. because we don't need her to get another infection.

Gracie had her eyes open the whole time they were doing the IV.. sooo cute!! She was looking & smiling at her Mommy.  She really is doing soo well & thriving.. :).  Thanks for all the prayers!! We just have to continue to stay positive for the surgery.  She has had no oxygen d-sats since Friday.. doesn't that tell you that the dsats were related to the hernia? It does to me!!  Get her feeds up after surgery, and she'll be good to go home very soon.. I hope!!  Can't wait for her to swing in her swing (the one I'm getting at my shower), and I can give her a bath in her luxurious spa tub; and dress her.. and hold her..and play with her!! :) All those great things!

Here she is smiling with her Mommy!! HI, Daddy, she's saying!! I miss you!

In this picture, she's rubbing Susan's face.. aweeee soo cute!!

Well, Olive Garden is for dinner tonight..yea.. and they serve us.. can't wait to get downstairs for breadsticks & salad... and something else!


Then I have to catch up on "The Good Wife" tonight..and maybe some other tv shows.


Thanks for thinking of us!! Dalila & Joe are on way to visit on Wednesday.. that'll be nice!!

BIG thanks to Nichole for sending clothes my way for Gracie & even some for her friend, Will. 



Love,
pattie & gary & gracie & max
