2/24/2011 79 Days Old

On the 79th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya and Erin stayed asleep until 11:00. I had a half day of work today so I was home by 12:30. When i got home Erin was holding Maya in bed. Maya had a heart problem this morning. Her alarm sounded at 11:00, her heart rate was too low. She is normally at about 160 beats per minute when she is awake. The alarm sounds at 75 beats per minute. Her heart rate stayed low for a few minutes before it gradually increased to normal. This happened three times today. We thought it might have been a faulty reading from the monitor, but I don’t think that is the case. She isn’t irritable or upset when this happens. She is a little lethargic, but that is it. In fact if she was not hooked up to her monitor we would probably never know that it had happened. We don’t know what any of that means, or wether to worry about it or not, but we are concerned. She seems to be doing fine now.

This afternoon our social worker from carousel came by. It is always good to talk to her. We met for about an hour and talked about every thing that is going on, with us and with Maya. After she left we sat on the couch and relaxed.

Tonight was just the three of us again. Erin cooked dinner while I played guitar for Maya. We ate dinner together and then watched us some Abed. Maya is a big fan. We just put Maya into a sleep sack and are trying to convince her that sleep is the cool thing to do.
