Big Day- - - -

Well we went for Josie's infusion today at the pulminoligist in Akron, and we also hed her monthly visit while we were there, and much to our surprise, the Dr. told us that Josie only has to wear her oxygen when she eats and sleeps now. We are thrilled, it is so weird to see her without anything on her face. She has done great today without it. She just amazes us more and more everyday....
She is almost 12 pounds and growing like a weed. Won't be long and she will be going all by herself... I will post pictures soon, just wanted to give everyone the GREAT update....
Thank you for all your prayers and continued support...

6 MONTHS OLD~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Well, In 53 minutes Josie Lynn Marie will be 6 months old. Where has the last 6 months gone. She is doing absolutely amazing. A little over 11 pounds and has rolled over, coo's, and smiles all the time. She is just such a miracle. It's hard to believe that she is the same little girl that fit in our hand 6 months ago. I remember the first time I held her, I actually was nervous, my heart raced, and my palms were sweating like they never had before, by the time we left the NICU, it was an old routine. Since we have came home, I have been her Mom, friend, nurse, and Dr.. I have learned so much in the past few months. Trust me, I never wanna repeat it, but it has made me a stronger and better person. She and Easton are my world. They are what I live for each and everyday!
So, she went to the eye Dr. the other day, and got a clean bill of health. Her eyes are perfect!!! No more visits for 4 months!!!! Her yes are 100% PERFECT, A REAL DREAM COME TRUE TO US!!!
Thank you all for your prayers. We really appreciate it!!!

Tuesday...

Wow, hard to believe that little Miss Josie will be 6 months old in a few days. Where has the time gone? She is doing great since her port placement surgery, she is almost up to 11 pounds. Monday she rolled over for the first time, she loves to smile, and just sit and talk (coo) with you.... She is just absolutely amazing! Things are just great, she has even started to help hold her bottle, she can do it by herself for a few seconds, and then she lets me take over again. Everyday she does so much more. Easton and Josie are so funny together. He loved her soooo much, he has to hug and kiss on her all the time. He always checks her oxygen, and says "Mom, she is OK..." It is so funny. He too has learned so much in 6 months. He has grown up so fast it seems, it is just great to see them together!
Easton is in transitioning for school, he will start pre-school in January, that's if I can let him go. I just hate it, he has grown up sooo fast. Seems like only yesterday he was the size of Josie, now school? Ughhhh, makes me old. He is so smart, and funny, he gets that from me... He says he is going to be a fireman.... Time will tell......
So, everything is great, and we are all getting along just fine.... Love to you all.....
