Update

This was a crazy week. I had to get Phil and the truck ready for Virginia. So after Maddie's therapy Tuesday she and I went to Valvoline and got the truck's oil changed, the inspection done and filled it with gas. We then parked it in the driveway for Phil and Jack to leave for Virginia today. I have been driving the truck lately. Since Phil is working in the field and no longer a supervisor he has a work utility truck. We still own his pick up with the company logo on it. I figured if i drove it it gives them free advertising and possible more work. Can't hurt.

Thursday Maddie and I made the long trek to the pulmonologist. It's kind of the cool because we go up to the Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital. It really is a neat hospital. The doctor gave us some good news. He reduced her breathing treatments to once a day which is great. He said that he did not see a significant change in her in the last 6 weeks. With that to say he also said that if she was going to have complications from her diaphragm paralysis it would have happened by now. At least in most children a complication would have already happened.

So, we are trying it. He said if we need to we can go back to twice a day just call him and let him know. Maddie also weighed 15lbs 13oz. I am not sure about that weighed because they did not weight her the same at the pediatrician. It is hard to believe she gained a pound in a week. So we go for a 9 month check up and get shots Tuesday so we will see what he says.

As for Maddie she is doing great. She can pull her self up and stand. A little wobbly but not bad for 7 mos after open heart surgery. Her therapist is just tickled to death at her recovery. What a Happy baby too. Hopefully I will have more pictures to post soon.

Jack is having a great time in Virginia with Daddy. They called me three times on the way up. I hope the boys have a good time. Katie is going through massive withdraw. She talked to Phil on the phone and told him to come home right now and bring mamaw with him. Phil felt so guilty. We are going to have a girls day Saturday so hopefully she won't miss Daddy so much.

I have tons to do Phil's mom is coming to stay for two weeks and then we are taking her to the beach because Jason, Phil's brother and her son, is getting married. We are Happy for Jason and going down to help him celebrate.

Well it is late and I still have a few things to do.
