Real quick...

Real quick and then I'm off to bed. The lab tests came back with Emma's calcium levels. They were still mild. They came down from 11.6 to 11.3. It's mildly high but they said that just might be how her body works. We had a kidney sono Monday followed by a urology appointment. (I took all four girls to the hospital for 4 hours - Yes you can say Supermom). People kept asking if they were all mine. Everything looked better. Her kidney stones are smaller and her calcium buildup (Nephrocalcinosis) is going down. This is really good news. She said it's mostly from the lasix and it should all go away. She wants to see Emma again in May with another sono. So this is all good news.
Things are going well. Emma has been off of oxygen for a little over 2 weeks now. Wonderful!!!! It truly is great!!! She sats between 94 and 99 during the night. During the day it is hard to get a reading because she is so active. Hopefully, her Feb. 10th NICU appointment will take off all machines and we will be cord-free. That would be great!!

I can't believe all of the good news. power of prayer. I think you are supermom just for surviving at home with 4 kids! I did ask my friend about the preschool thing and her son goes to a different church school. Oh well, hope that has worked out for you!
