We got to see our little sweet Akiva, and I got to hold my hand on her to let her get used to me.

I was not allowed to hold her yet as she still has her bubble CPap (a breathing thing) and so the nurse said would you please place your hand on her so she can bond with her Nana. Now ask if I was some happy!!! You bet I was. Akiva is doing pretty good, they gave her the last of her antibiotics and when I was there they removed that nasty IV. they said that she will be taken off the CPAP in a day or so. She is up to over 3 pounds and she goes up and down all the time, but she is doing so well.

Our youngest dd was sick for all day Saturday and when we were all going to go out for our Fathers day dinner she got so she thought she would throw up, so they took us back to our hotel room and the rest of them all went out for dinner, Brittany and I laid in the hotel room.She didd get sick and then fell asleep for the night, and then she was fine the next morning except for very drowsy as I gave her another gravol pill so she would not get sick in the car again. SHe does not take to travelling very well and gets car sick very easily!

Today is Melissas birthday and I asked her what she wanted for her dinner and she asked if I would make crepes so that is what we are having tonight... not the healthiest of dinners but it is what she wants so I said sure.

Have a good day all!

Hugs, Lor

Yep faster than lightening I swear.. actually though I was really hesitant due to the fact she was so sick that any germs could be fatal, but the nurse said no really go head and well that waas it... hand flew in there so fast.

Every birthday the person whos day it is gets to pick the menu and whether we like it or not too bad that is what was chosen. But yesterday no one would complain too loudly.

Also the person gets to pick the type of caket hey want, her selection was an ice cream cake with fudge and cookie crumbs in the center. Good thing because I never really had the time to bake a cake.


Thanks and Hugs, Lor

Lor, how wonderful that must have been for you. It brings tears to my eyes just reading about it. What a wonderfully loved little girl she is.
