News Flash



Ladies and gentleman, evidence that the hat is back! Turns out Merta is the 'Flapper Elf' who works nights and puts them together. How cool is that? Anyway, here is a picture of a feasting Annie with her adorable hat. We added the other photo to just show how wonderful the NICU staff is. Annie is not doing as well as usual today. She had two epsiodes where her respiration and heart rate dropped and scared us all for a moment. She's come out of it but she hasn't been eating quite as well as usual either. As a result, we are tabling talks on Annie coming home and not bothering with the breathing test tomorrow. Lori (who I know you know well from our previous posts) was keeping an eye on Annie throughout the day but really sat down with Elly this evening to spend some time with Annie to see what's going on. This photo says so much about the level of care and concern that we experience every day. It means everything to us and meant all the more today when things weren't quite right. Hopefully, this is nothing more than a sign that Annie still isn't ready to come home. Annie could also be getting sick. We'll see. We're worried but ever thankful for all of our wonderful extended family at the NICU.

Just another bump in the road which I'm sure Annie will get over, especially since in the most recent photo with the new hat she is bearing a remarkable resemblance to Little Bunny Foo-foo. I trust there are no field mice hiding in the NICU anywhere. Let's just hope this latest episode is again related to "digestive" issues and not infectious ones.
