1-2-09 noon: It looks like Ella is staying another night at the hospital. This is day 3.  Her blood oxygen still drops too low when they turn off the oxygen in her nose.  On good thing is that the IV was clogged and they removed it.  Ella is now just on oral steroids. The IV steroids were making her crazy just like Madison when she was on them. 

Alea did not like the dark color background.  The harts are for her until V day.  I am still working on the walls but they will not be done before Ella’s baptism party.  Tell Alea how much the walls bug you, she like it.  Ella will be baptized at First United Methodist Church 2723 N 50th St at 10:45 this Sunday 2/10.

 

The Van Halen concert was good.  It was loud.  Dave ran around the stage a lot.  It is amazing to see Eddie play on the big screen.  I still do not see how he makes the sounds on the guitar. 

Thank you all for your help with the arrival of Ella. Everyone has been a great help with watching our children, helping with meals, and praying for our family. 

We are starting to settle into a routine.  The only one who is having a problem with Ella is Seth.  He has been psycho. He also has gone back 6 months in potty training.  I was hoping to have one out of Pull ups before I had another one in diapers. The only place he seems to be good is in the Church nursery.   This is where he always had a meltdown in the past. His best redeeming quality is that he is quick to give a kiss and say that he is sorry in his two year old voice.    

Ella was a hit at church.  Everyone wanted to hold her but Tanner did not want to give her up.  Pastor Larry talked about Ella during the prayers of Joy.  Madison and Kaitlyn sang in front of the church. 

Thanks Ron for fixing my little explosion problem with the furnace.  It works great now without the bang. Remind me to have you replace the tag on the fire extinguisher.

One more thing, Alea and I had a great laugh yesterday watching Chuck on DVR.  The password to the master remote control was OU812 just like the name on my access point. 

   

Seven years, 13Gb, over 17,000 pictures, we are retiring the 2 mega pixel Sony.  We now have a 7 mega pixel Canon.  Madi gets to keep the Sony for her crazy and sometime scary photo shoots.  The Canon takes great pictures and should be able to keep up with four kids!   Ella is here, all is going well, no more pink.

Ella went to the doctor today.  She was 7lb9oz at birth and she is down to 6lb11oz today.  This is a problem.  She needs to stay awake during feeding.  She is not to stay snuggled up in a blanket during feeding and we need to feed her every two hours.  I use the term ‘we’ loosely.  I am just there for support every two hours.   The doc called this commando feeding.  I will keep you up to date.

Ella is now on the Bryan Baby page.
