My daughter has entered a contest. She could use your vote. Lindsey graduated in May from Gardner Webb. She is now working on studying for the GRE and taking the test in Oct. Her plans are to go to UNCG in the masters program for Social Work. She is all so thinking about working to get her ASL inter...

Lola visited her cardiologist today and got a good improving report. She doesn't have to return for 6 months! Not so good news, she hasn't gained any weight and she has an ear infection! The doctor had to give her stronger than normal antibiotics because she has been on such heavy duty ones in her r...

The last time I was there and we took members in they used it.

Lola is doing good.

Thank You all for praying for her. She has came a long ways.

Over 6 hours spent tracking down her prescriptions and she pulled/vomited her feeding tube out twice! It's not the most awesome time for momm...

Update Friday 2/6/2015, (Day 37): Lola has had a set back. We were packing to go home and Miss Lola's dr said she can't leave just yet. She hasn't been keeping her food down and hasn't gained any weight in 3 days. They won't let babies go home without the proper amount of intake on food. For her age...

Update! Update! It looks like Miss Lola is doing well enough to come home this weekend! She will still have a feeding tube, which we are training on tomorrow how to change and use. She will also have daily visits from a nurse at home to check on her progress. We will follow up monthly to determine a...

Update!! So our Lola Bean got the oxygen cut off this evening and she has been doing wonderful of breathing on her own. If she continues to do well it gets to come off tomorrow! If she continues on this journey she will have the opportunity to come home in about 3 weeks!! God is so good.

Update.. Lola Bean is doing better. She has had the chest tube out since Sat. 01/31/15 and all x-rays have shown nothing but improvement in lower left lung. She is weaning off of the methadone and oxygen and hope to be off of it by the end of the week. We still have some damage in lower left lung. W...

Update Wednesday 1/28/15: Little miss Lola has spiked another fever. Running new cultures for another infection. They are leaving the chest tube in for another couple days to be completely cautious about any air leak because there is still a visible hole in her lung. She has also broken out in a ras...

Update Tuesday 1/27/15 AM: Everything is about the same. Chest tube is still in and chest X-ray is still showing air pockets have shrunk and the lung is no longer collapsing. Oxygen and pain meds/withdrawal meds are the same! They are assuming her allergic reaction was to the morphine, so no more of...

Friday Mommy Audrey and Ya-Ya Buffy were excitedly packing up Miss Lola's belonging to move to the step down floor room and out of ICU. Backpacks on and baby switched to a transport bed, Lola's heart rate raised to 207 bpm. The concerned nurse called the Drs in just to take a look. The concerned DRs...

Look who's off the oxygen! She has come down on the meds that are keeping her in the PICU too! Still working with the speech therapist to help her sucking issue. We are on our way out of ICU!

Lola is still struggling with the withdrawals and bottle feeding. She has the sweats, diarrhea, and is constantly agitated. She has forgotten how to stink, so she doesn't understand the bottle anymore. She is working with a speech therapist to try and getting her sucking worked out. Keep her in your...

Lola is struggling with the withdrawals of her meds and eating with a bottle. We are minutes from being out of PICU if they can get her off some of her IV meds. Please pray for her strength and comfort.

Thank You all for praying for this little girl.
