vomitt!

Well, it's a good thing I got my cuddles with Hope yesterday and this morning, because she just started throwing up again. Poor thing. Ashley is sleeping finally, after moaning all morning, and then having a 20minute seizure, she finally fell asleep.

So it goes...the ups and downs of life.

Hockey

Brodie finished his last hockey game this weekend. He had a great team and fantastic coaches, making it an exciting introduction to hockey life.

I worked this weekend, Alex juggled the girls, Brodie's hockey, two birthday parties and his own hockey tournament...making him 'Father of the Year' for sure.

The girls are doing great. Ashley had a much better weekend, with hardly any moaning or crying and it seems that her cold is done. Hope is full of smiles today and I've been able to hold her twice today, without a coughing fit. It's a good start to the week.

Doing well...

Hope is doing so much better. We are able to hold her again and she doesn't seem to be sick at all right now. I was even able to take the girls out for a walk today, which was such a treat. What a beautiful day.
On the weekend, we were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Neufeld visit. We all went to Brodie's hockey game and enjoyed cuddling the girls. Ashley still has a cold, but has a strong cough and I'm not worried about her. She's pretty cute when she sneezes. She starts blinking her eyes in a startled, kind of way and then scrunches up her nose. So funny.

Cuddles

We had a wonderful Sunday together, full of cuddles. Ashley was so fun, she smiled all day, even though she has a cold. She was coughing and sneezing and sniffling, then smiling. I just finished saying the other day, that Ashley never gets sick...not even a cold! Shouldn't have said that, I guess! Hope is doing fairly well, still coughing and sleeping a lot, but having more awake time each day, with cute little 'half-smiles' for us.

Brodie had some fun with his friend, Reece, while we cuddled the girls.

In the evening, we tried to go skating at St. Vital park but it was too slushy. I guess outdoor skating is over for the season.

Looking better...

Well, Hope shocked me by perking up today and staying awake for a few hours at a time. Her chest sounds a lot better and her breathing has evened out a lot. She even smiled a bit when I held her. I'm pretty sure she still needs to cough some more, but at least she's waking up enough to do that now.

It's been a long week of wondering if she was going to make it. Sorry about making you worry too. It's hard to know what's happening with her, and I appreciate those that walk this journey with us. So, I'm off to work tommorrow and then we'll have a nice family day on Sunday.

Have a wonderful weekend.

coughing?

Well, Hope managed to cough once today and get up a bit of thick, yellow stuff. I was hoping to see a little more action, but she's still sleeping 90% of the time. She sleeps through her morning care and even getting dressed. She did open her eyes a few times today, but it never lasts long and then she has a seizure and goes back to sleep. It's a peaceful sleep and that's good.

Hope is sick again...

Look what happens when I limit the computer time!!! Brodie shows off his sensitive side and finds a book to read Ashley! I just love having him around.
We had oodles of appointments last week and it went great. We spent a day at Rehab for Children getting the girls weighed and reasessing their formula requirements. We also worked on AShley's kidkart and stander. Then we decided to have Hope measured for her stander, because I made the mistake of saying she's doing better. The next day, she threw up...

This past Sunday, we found her in a puddle of puke when we went to get her in the morning. She probably got some into her lungs, because she's been sleeping since then and her chest sounds horrible. Today is the first day that she's kept her eyes open for more than a few seconds and she's finally started coughing up some of the phlegm, but it leaves her exhausted and she goes back to sleep. So, I'm not too sure what direction she's heading, but we're having some quality cuddles just in case she doesn't get over this. She doesn't have a fever and she's not puking, so that's good.
