6/14/2011 187 Days Old

June 14th, 2011

On the 187th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. I woke up before Erin left for work and moved Maya out to the couch. We did some exercises and played around for a bit before Maya fell asleep during her 9:00 feeding. She woke up at about 11:00 and she was not happy. She was really congested, so I got out her suction machine and tried to clear her nose. I only succeeded in making things worse. A little morphine some deep suction, and about an hour and she calmed back down. It was a stressful hour.

Shortly after noon Maya got a visit from her nurse. Her lungs are sounding a little better every week. She stayed calm and awake through the entire visit. Later in the afternoon she also had a visit from her occupational therapist. Maya is doing really well with tummy time and all of her other exercises. We worked on tasting again. She still likes bananas. Her O.T. was very excited with all the progress Maya has made.

Tonight Grandpa Bob and Grandma Chris came by for dinner. We fired up the grill and had an excellent dinner. Maya is cuddled up with grandpa now, and is in and out of sleep. She is a very tired girl after her very busy day.
