Well it started out with my wife having an emergency C-Section and delivering our baby 15 weeks early because of HELLP syndrome. So our daughter has been in the neonatal ICU since the 1st and we have been on the NICU rollercoaster ever since with her. SHE IS DOING FINE AS OF TONIGHT. Next up this last week I started it off by thinking that I pulled a muscle come to find out Wed. night I would go in to get my appendix taken out. I get out of last night and come home and one of our dogs isn't doing well she jumped out of the truck and hurt her back. In the past we have taken her to a Chiropractor and got her straightened out this time not so lucky we had to put her to sleep last night. SO thanks you all for letting me vent here and now MR. MURPHY GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!


THE DUCK

Congrax's on the daughter.

Glad to hear you daughter is doing better great picture of Mom and daughter. So  sorry for the loss of your dog, that is never an easy decision to make to put down one of our loved ones. Praying for your family's continued health and i will say an extra prayer for the dog you lost. RIP and SCREW MR MURPHY

I'm so sorry about your dog . I wasn't able to put ours down when I knew I should, you made the right choice.

Your wife is gorgeous for just having a baby not to long ago? (y)

Our girls were 7 weeks premature, 3.7 and 4.3, not nearly as small as your little one. I know how hard it must be.

Are they giving you any idea when she might be able to go home? We took the heart monitors home for both of ours even thou one didn't need it. I think it made us feel more comfortable.

Best wishes.
 
Sorry to hear you guys are having such a rough month. Hang in there. Tell melissa we said hello.

Can I ask who is mr murphy?

glad to hear that, still thinking about you three 
 
things are going well looks like they are going to try and take her off her vent and try a C-pap machine today.  (y)

 
This is our latest picture "Did you get your tickets for the GUNSHOW"


She is doing well they are going to try and take her off her vent again on Monday she did well last week Sat for about an hour and a half and then she got pooped so they put her back on the vent. The next move for us is to get her on a C-PAP machine, sometime they use it for people with sleep apnea (SP).

Official weigh-in last night 2 Lbs 5Oz. :eek:

Thanks for all your thoughts
Ryan

That's 2 beautiful girls.

 
Over 1 month old & 2lbs now with a whole new month ahead of you.

Best wishes to you guys for this month. We are still thinking about you. Say hello to Melissa for us.


 
We hit the 4 pound mark last night and we are growing like a weed. It still looks like december before we are going to be able to bring her home.

Ryan, she's beautiful!!! I'm so glad to hear she's doing  well.  You've got a very special little girl  :love: 
 
A couple of pictures of our little one blowing kisses to all her fans and her halloween costume. Yesterday we moved rooms in the NICU closer to the door which means were closer to going home.
