Hope

The girls are back from the 'out-of-home respite'.  Ashley did very well.  She only needed two doses of morphine.  When we got her home yesterday, she was content and smiling.  It was lovely.  Perhaps the laser therapy helped...who knows!

Hope stopped vomitting and eventually started peeing again.  She had perked up when she was there, but yesterday morning she was drowsy again.  When I got her home, she started coughing up thick yellow/green stuff...lots of it!  Her chest doesn't sound too good this morning, but she's breathing comfortably and sleeping right now.  The Palliative Care Team stopped by yesterday to check in and take a look at Hope.  It's always helpful to have a second opinion when listening to a child's chest.  I can't say that I'm an expert. 

So, I'm not sure where this will lead, but we'll continue on as always.

Mira is giving us lots of smiles (except when the camera comes out!) and Brodie is a fantastic older brother.  He loves to read to her.
