And the fact that she knows it, is even sweeter. Just a few short weeks ago in the PICU~~my how far you have all come. You can look aroound now and count all your blessings.<br /><br />Thanks for always posting. And thank you for all the unsaid inspiration you bless your friends with. <br /><br />Love and Prayers,<br />Nicole JonesNICOLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974294032992398969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910497165802997871.post-19753573406901852852011-05-18T22:31:15.968-04:002011-05-18T22:31:15.968-04:00Oh Chrissy, something about this post is so sweet....Oh Chrissy, something about this post is so sweet. (maybe it is the material at hand). Anyway, praying for you tonight as Robert is out of town, and of course Clara as well. Maybe the sweetness comes from the simplicity of the subject in a way; your little girl is sick and you are there to hold her and watch over her. Thanking God for keeping hold and watch over us.annabelle carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137210895613360186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910497165802997871.post-74753510745707449292011-05-18T21:46:37.513-04:002011-05-18T21:46:37.513-04:00Praying this bleeding is just a bump in the road a...Praying this bleeding is just a bump in the road and not a pot hole.

Super fast acting and helps with the sting... also causes some vasoconstriction so they might not want to use it. Ice works great too. There's also EMLA cream but it takes 45 min to work and is usually for more substantial stuff (like a PICC). Since the heel stick/IV are topical procedures, morphine really won't help (it's systemic) but it does make momma feel better and baby settle down and rest... :-)<br /><br />Love you. So great talking to you today. You are such a strong woman. I can hear you roar all the way over here.d&bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611644621143928380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910497165802997871.post-76090229763376117892011-05-18T20:21:01.465-04:002011-05-18T20:21:01.465-04:00Like others said -- what a statement for you to sa...Like others said -- what a statement for you to say that Clara is one of the healthiest, most stable babies -- after what you have been through!

I remember when you told her she was the sickest baby in the whole hospital! We rejoice in every step of success, and will be praying for the issue today. Pray it's just something minor.

Just look at what you've learned so far about caring for Clara; giving up dairy would be a piece of cake.<br /><br />I gave up dairy breastfeeding my little one and discovered there is soy milk, soy yogurt/ice cream, goat milk yogurt, goat milk bree, and cabot cheddar cheese is lactose free (just make sure it says so on the package). Some small things to look forward to if it comes that route. <br /><br />Praying things calm down tonight and the stool issue gets resolved soon.The Sherrill Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564749444427252471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910497165802997871.post-67426102502290380962011-05-18T19:06:20.596-04:002011-05-18T19:06:20.596-04:00Okay, perhaps a brief post, but one of my favorite...Okay, perhaps a brief post, but one of my favorites. You just wrote that "Clara is one of the healthiest and most stable babies in ICU." I mean, seriously. AMEN. So awesome.<br /><br />I had to give up dairy for Beckett. It was SO HARD. I had no idea how much dairy I had been consuming. Ugh. But, I agree, being able to feed him my milk was worth it.<br /><br />I'll continue to pray that this is quickly resolved and that our sweet girl continues to make good progress.<br /><br />Love always,<br />Her Devoted Fans: Kermit, Rebecca, Maddox and Beckett SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
