SLEEPOVER!!!! (Friday night updates)

WHOOOHOOOO!!!! My mom and dad are going to have a sleepover with me Saturday night!!!
The Dr. came by today and thinks I might go home on Sunday, but before then, my parents get to do a trial run. Saturday night, we are going to sleep (yea right) together with no monitors in a room next to the NICU. The nurses will check on us once during the night, but we are pretty much on our own...unless of course we need any help. If things go well, that will be a good indication that we are all ready to go home!!! Continue to pray for God's timing: that I will be ready to come home, that my parents would have the confidence and peace they need. My parents will be meeting with the Dr.'s on Saturday to go over any questions/concerns...pray that this will answer any fears/questions they have!!!I'll miss my friends in the NICUMy nurse Nicole...i love her!!!!

Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Please pray for the Dr.'s, nurses and my parents as we wait for God's timing (which is so perfect) for when I should go home to be in my own special crib.
Please pray for me: that I can take time to breathe, time to eat and time to rest.

Good News (Wednesday Updates)

Well do you want the Good news or the GOOD NEWS? First good news is I am hungry...today I ate over 90 ml of milk...thats the most ever!
The other good news is if I keep doing this well, there is a strong possibility I'm going home. Again, nothing is set in stone, but it is quite possible that I might be hanging out with no tubes, at my very own crib.
WHAT CAN YOU DO???? One thing that would be so helpful is to provide meals for my parents. They wont be able to take me out in public much (cuz I'm so darn good looking) so they will be spending a lot of time at home and it would be great if you could bring them a hot meal. We are needing about 15 people to deliver a meal during the month of May. If you are interested email leeanatankersley@diveintoflood.com
Thanks so much and please continue to pray for progress for me...and peace and strength for my AMAZING parentals.

Go Pads!!! (Monday updates)

So if you are getting a little discouraged cheering for our Padres...maybe you could cheer for me!!!
I need some fans rootin' for me now!!!

I had a great weekend...even though it was like 700* outside, I hit some homeruns with eating and sleeping and breathing and all that stuff...but today my batting average was not so good.

I just wasn't in the groove today and had a little trouble figuring out eating and breathing and maybe it was all the home games, but I just wore myself out...it's like I was stuck on 1st base with 2 outs and 2 strikes...I was pooped! (Plus my girlfriend Em, left...so I was suffering a little from heartache for her)

If you're in the stands cheering for me: cheer for: good breathing and eating...that I can just continue to make progress and figure out how to do it all on my own, all at once. I need strong breaths and good eats. ( I can't wait till I peanuts and hot dogs) Cheer for 5 days....the Dr. says if I have 5 straight days with no help breathing and no stimulation...it's a HOME run baby...no literally, I'm going home. Cheer for my parents, as they have spent so much time in the dugout (NICU) that it can be a little scary thinking about the HOME game.

Overtime: I passed both my eye and ear exam today!!! whooptidoo!!!

P.S. Go Padres!!!!

Picture Extravaganza

I am still off O2 and since yesterday they took out the feeding tube - so I have to eat all by myself. They are now just feeding me when I wake up or no more than 4 hours after the last feed. So, it is taking a lot of energy for me to continue doing it all by myself. I didn't gain weight yesterday, but I didn't loose any either. So, pray that I can eat enough to gain some pounds...enjoy the pix..this is me post-op
Dad feeding me...Dad, burping me...
Dad sleeping with me...Dad....well Dad what exactly are you doing here?Post-eating nap...my primary nurse made this for me...she's gooooood...

God is bigger than the boogie man...and hernias!!!! (Friday Updates)

You would think that most babes would have a hard time after a big boy surgery...but not me!!! I was off nasal canuala yesterday since 11:30 am...all they had to do was shoot me a little O2 out of a mask at the end of the day cuz I was keeping so busy eating and sleeping and loving my mommy and my daddy. I am at the Step Down side (which is where all the really big boys...and really athletic and smart boys go!!!) and the Dr. seems to think I could be outta here in a week or two!!!! Pray for my parents as I am sure this is crazy to think about actually having a babe with no tubes or nurses attached!!! Thanks for your prayers!!!!
