Thalia’s lungs and tummy have had a tough time! The NICU decided to use an oxygen bubble for a procedure known as a “nitro-wash” to alleviate her partially collapsed lungs, and she’s had a tube placed down her throat to help drain extra fluid/air from her tummy.

The good news? She’s crying like a 6-year-old that just found out Santa’s not real. That means the treatment is working! The Nurse Practitioner said her most recent x-rays show improvement; that’s great news. The bad news? She’s going to need at least another day in the bubble to help her lungs and she’s already pulled out the tummy tube once. Oh well. You take the good, take the bad, yadda yadda TOOTIE!

Monday, June 4th, 2007. That’s the day it all happens. Time to rest up, make last-minute preparations, and enjoy a few days of peace & quiet. I can’t wait to see her!
