Sniffles:0(

As I've read that everyone else has been on this band wagon, why should we not join the party! Daddy came home on Friday night with the whole sinus package (stuffy nose, cough, sore throat) & by Saturday morning both the girls had it. Amazingly enough I've faired pretty well despite the feeling of a sore throat tonight.

Vaeh hadn't needed an aerosol treatment for almost 2 months until this weekend. With the track record she has, I thought it better to error on the side of caution. So far they seem to be helping! The true test is her 2 month cardiology visit Monday morning. Its the first visit with him since Vaeh hasn't needed her G-tube! Wish us luck!!

Other than the sniffles, we experienced a loss in the family this week. Jon's Grandmother (paternal) passed away Friday morning. She had been in poor health for quite some time, having been diagnosed with Lou Gherrig's back in the 80's. At the time of her diagnosis, the doctors gave her a short time to live (less than 10 years I believe). Well, being it is 2008, once again doctors don't know everything. Unfortunately we were never able to take Vaeh over to meet her as she was residing in a nursing home (just too great a risk for her health). Needless to say, it wasn't the best weekend for Jon.

On a good note, our little heart friend Kaitlyn is doing wonderful after her recent open heart. She had been on a vent/trach at home, however when they decided to extubate her, they tried with not putting the trach back in & so far... she is trach free!! Please keep her & her family in your prayers! Thanks for checking in on us. I'll update after Vaeh's cardiology appointment tomorrow!
