I Wanna Go Home Now

by Alison on June 18, 2010

“Yep, I know you do honey, I want you to go home too!” Updates: 6/18 9:45 pm, settling in to sleep, 93% O2 on “room air”! Now if she can just keep it up there for the night… We’re hoping she can go home tomorrow, the earlier the better. 10:30 pm, sleeping soundly, holding steady [...]

Back In the Hospital

by Alison on June 17, 2010

(the note to remind me to pick up her black bear) I hear “maybe she’ll grow out of it soon”  a lot.  I have the hopeful thought myself, frequently.  She still could grow out of it, but the present reality is that Gracie has landed herself in the hospital something like 10 times in the [...]

A New Favorite Summertime Salad

by Alison on June 9, 2010

My aunt, LouAnn, is such a great cook.  We can always count on her to bring something fabulous to a picnic.  She came through again last week (Memorial Day) with what has now become my new favorite salad.  I’ve been hankering for more cold salads and things that go well on the summer menu- you [...]

So Thankful For Asthma Meds

by Alison on June 7, 2010

(*unrelated pic, see end of post ) I have a story to tell, but it needs more writing.  There has been another asthma flare-up, and like He has done so many times before, the Lord has taken such good care of us and our girls.  I’ll try to get it up for tomorrow.  For now, [...]
