Snuggled In On 7

No better, no worse was the over all consensus this morning in rounds!! They took a swab of the site and want to watch to see what it may grow over the next 48 hours. No one has talked about going home... But 48 hours from now would probably mean a Friday departure. And that would be best case scenario. 

Our wonderful cardiac NP (Jess) was by this afternoon in full on surgical gear. Bry joked Piper wouldn't recognize her with the "hair net" on. Piper has grown rather attached to Jess - or maybe it's us that's grown attached?!? I asked what they had today for surgery and she said it was another baby girl with transposition. And not only that, but they have 2 others also waiting for surgery with the same thing as Piper. I'm beginning to feel like it's a little more common than I previously thought. 4 babies in 6 weeks seems crazy when they tell you the odds are 1 in 4000. Please also pray for these families as you lift up Piper tonight!! The road ahead can be scary, but peace comes with each prayer said. 

Bry insisted I "sleep in" and come up later in the morning. (I do have the best husband EVER!!) I miss the nights of going to bed 8pm with not a care in the world!! Sleeping through the night seems like a million years ago.

I headed out refreshed and renewed late this morning. The snow was blinding and while attempting to back out of the drive way I got stuck. I should have paid more attention to the mound that had accumulated after the plow came through - but I was on a mission, and thought my Jeep could easily make it over!! (Don't the commercials show Jeeps going over mountains -- I have been very mislead!!) I guess I mistook my Jeeps ability for that of a Hummer. Fortunately for me, 3 of the neighbor men took pity on me and helped shovel me out!! Once again snow angels have come to my rescue!! Thank you gentlemen!! When I have time (ha!) baked goods will be coming your way!! Promise!! Even if they are bought at Costo and repackaged to look like homemade.

Thanks Pastor Harold for visiting today. We have your scarf safe and sound - we will not use it as a burp cloth for Piper - even if we do get desperate. 

Let the (dry out) prayers (continue to) rise!!
