YOU! PICK ME UP! Look at the outfit! I think we can pass this down to Ailyn's dolls now!
Thank you Jill for watching Camden while I brought Ailyn to the germ factory. Doctor called Ailyn a superstar! She is now 6 pounds 8 ounces! He wasn't worried about her head control, in fact he said she has great head control. Ailyn is still on a 24 calorie formula. We asked about her size since the NICU doctor was concerned, I gave him the low birth weight chart and he doesn't think it's an issue. She still takes small meals every 3 hours.
Ailyn will get the RSV shot once a month starting when it's available. As most know I am a freak about germs, so this will help me breathe a little easier! Speaking of germs....now that the kids are back in school, we are home bound. We will be home schooling Camden. His school is amazing, the new director is allowing us to join them on field trips and offered me to attend some meetings in the future. We are also able to borrow material we will need. They are always a phone call away, and I keep in touch with many from his school, if we need help.
AND! I think we found the perfect solution this winter. Thanks to Facebook! We are now in touch with some old neighbors. An old friend is CPR certified and may be able to babysit Ailyn for a few hours a week. This way I can get Camden out of the house. Now, I am sure some of you are shocked we are going to be able to leave Ailyn with a sitter since we didn't leave Camden until he was 3! But, the thought of Camden home all day with no friends or being able to go anywhere, breaks our heart. It can also be helpful if Ailyn has a appointment that we can't take Camden to.
We appreciate everyone who follows our blog. I feel we are very open people, we chose to make this blog to update friends, family and Ailyn's nurses. We are grateful for every single day we have Ailyn, we know how close we were to losing her. It haunts us everyday. We have two very special children and I believe we are great parents to them. Some might say they are a tad spoiled :) and, well....I believe them!
So please read our blog to get updates on Ailyn, no need to pass judgment on things you see or read..... you don't know the whole story unless you live it. For now I will enjoy sharing my two miracles with you.....
