That's Love...

Sunday was a super exciting day!!!

Here's our first family picture! Isn't my husband handsome?!
We were so excited about her getting the CPAP mask off!



When I went in at 11 am, the CPAP had been removed!!!
However, when a tech tried to take it away, Mrs. Bev quickly said
"NO, come back at 2 and get it. She needs to know that we can give it
back to heri if she doesn't keep fighting!"
So, at 2 pm we gave Evelyn another pep talk and wheeled the CPAP
machine away! She hasn't had to have it back either!!!





Kangaroo time today was even better without the CPAP mask!
I had her head sitting in the center of my chest and she
picked it up and moved it over so she could look at me when I was
talking to her! SO COOL!

While I was holding Evelyn, her monitor went off because her
Pulse Ox was 100. I haven't understood much about that number,
but I knew that it had been getting better because it was staying above 92
and the alarm was only going off when it was above 98.
I asked Mrs. Bev (who is standing in the picture) what the blue 100
meant...she said "oh, that happens with love, it's just love!"
What it really meant was that her oxygen could be turned down
which is awesome, but it was pretty special that everytime I hold her
that number shoots to 100 :)



My mom flew in from St. Louis on Sunday night!
She got to be the first person other than Scott and I to hold her!
Pretty Special!
Scott had to go back to work on Monday and I was getting
discharged from the hospital, so she came to help me finish
getting the house ready and transport me back and forth to the
hospital for feedings

I'd say today was a pretty exciting day, lots of changes and fun times.
She also had lots of visitors today, too! All of them got to see her, but since it wasn't a "touch time" Scott and I pretty much just let them look and maybe get one little touch in!

 Kattie (who also ran arrends and saved me from not having any clothes to wear when the chemicals on an ice pack covered my clothes. She went home and got me some more clothes to wear).
Some of our Sunday School class came and delivered a ton of muffins for us to give to the nurses (what a great idea, as I knew I wanted to do something, but didn't know what to do or how
to get it done) They also went and got me a pizza from Campisi's to share with my mom when she came!
