I Really Hate Coming Up With Titles...

I talked with Leah this morning and Caleb had made some improvement with his oxygen settings in the 40's today. The doctor felt comfortable with the small improvement with just the one dose of lasix and decided against a second dose.

Except for Leah, their whole family is sick. The oldest three girls are throwing up and have colds. Julia is coughing and Zeb has a cold. Obviously they will not be going to see Caleb for a while. Thank goodness for the web cam! Get better quick little Fishies!

Leah had a post op appointment with Dr. Gillean today. She is Leah's OB. The one that took such wonderful care of Leah when she started bleeding at 17 weeks and then when here water broke at 19 weeks 5 days. She was so faithful in the hospital. When I was there for a week in October, I looked forward to seeing her. She was so positive and so good to Leah. What a blessing she has been. When Leah told me she had an appointment with her today I told her to get a picture of them together... Leah is always obedient! She said it was so good to see her.

I believe that a loving Heavenly Father puts people into our lives to help us deal with our individual challenges. I also believe Dr. Gillean is one of those people for Leah. When Leah made it to 23 weeks they transferred her to a bigger hospital with a level 3 NICU. They gave us 15 minutes notice for the transfer. Dr. Gillean got the news and literally ran to say good bye to Leah. She knew she had to switch Doctors when she moved to the new hospital and Dr. Gillean wasn't going to miss that good bye. It was so sweet to watch. They cried together as Leah thanked her and they loaded her onto the stretcher. I was grateful to be there. Dr. Gillean and many nurses got Leah to the point in her pregnancy that Caleb had a chance at this life on earth. We will be forever grateful for her and for all those who have worked with Leah and Caleb. Thank you!!
