A Day of 'Mourning'

M might be mourning the loss of Cammy (our 1994 Toyota Camry), but he might be the only one. She had 285,000 miles, windows that don't work, a sunroof held in by paper, torn seats and a host of other issues...then, this week, she decided to have the entire dashboard turn off every time M hit the breaks. So, we decided it was time to stop putting money into Cammy and get a new baby. Our newest girl's name is Lily. She is a white (thus the name) 2008 Honda Accord and she came to be a part of our family last night. The girls and I couldn't be more thrilled.

We were measuring out space in the garage so that we can fit two cars back in there and K thought the measuring tape was a new toy.

Going for a run in mom's shoes.

I love this pic even if it is over-exposed...Em is watching - SIGHT!! - the bubbles and K is laughing...all with Dad.

K made this bed for her doll.  She is totally into pretend play and it is so cute!!

 

We took Em to the ENT today to follow up with the "obstructive apnea" (something blocking the airway) they found in the sleep study and I heard some stuff I rarely hear...Emily's obstructive apnea falls within 'normal range' and she does NOT need surgery of any sort to fix it.  She also just needs more time for her voice to finish healing.  They don't know if her voice is weak from being intubated for so long or from her heart surgery (they nick that nerve sometimes working in that tiny space), but as long as it gets progressively louder over time, they don't have to go in there to look at it for a couple of years.  Let's hope.

We do still have to go to the pulmonologist to address the "central apnea" (her brain forgetting to breathe) as her blood oxygen levels are dropping too low while she sleeps.  She will outgrow this one but they may want to put her on oxygen while she sleeps to keep those levels up higher.
