Happy Birthday

Arabella is 5 months old today!  She has been through so much in her short little life.  May the next 5 months bring healing for your lungs my sweet baby and unconditional love always.  We love you!

I had to order new NG tubes this morning.  Did you know that little bit of plastic costs $15?  Our insurance company thinks she only needs 4 a month – granted these are the kind that are supposed to be good for 30 days, but they forgot to calculate in little hands that don’t want tubes stuffed up her nose.    Oh well.  Thank goodness for our HSA account.

That picture of her smile just melts my heart! How are you holding up? Is it really stressful with all the meds and tubes? I think this should count as credit for a nursing degree!:)
