4/18/2011 132 Days Old

April 18th, 2011

On the 132nd day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Both me and Erin had to work this morning, so we handed Maya off to Grandma Patti at about 7:00. When I got home about lunch time Maya and Grandma were sitting on the couch. Her good day yesterday continued today. She had some struggles today, but was also awake and happy for long periods of time. I got some couch time with Maya this afternoon. We sat and watched some TV for most of the afternoon.

Maya had a visit from her nurse and her social worker this afternoon. Her check up went well. Her last visit was on Thursday, and it did not go as well. Last week her lungs were not sounding well. She had developed a strong wheeze and the crackle in her lungs has spread through out her lungs. When her nurse listened to her lungs today she got a puzzled look on her face. She could not hear the wheeze. She listened to both sides of the lungs and could not find it. For some reason Maya is doing a little better these last two days.

Tonight Grandpa Bob and Grandma Chris brought us some Thai food. We all are sitting around enjoying May during her awake time. It has been a good night. Tomorrow Erin will have to go to work, and I am home alone with little Maya. It will be the longest time that I have taken care of Maya by myself. I am a little nervous, but also excited. I better go rest up.
