Saturday is here, and things haven't slowed down....:)) Macy had her first basketball game today which was fun to watch. She did really good for her first game. It was funny watching the kids play. I'll attach some pictures from the game at the bottom. We had a change in plans since my last blog entry about Audrey. We're keeping her at Duke until she is ready to come home which will be on Tuesday or Wednesday. We were concerned about her continuity of care and the ensuring that the follow-up piece was squared away and not leave it to Womack who really doesn't know her. Audrey continues to do well. She is gaining weight and making intermittent signs of her starting to begin her suck and rooting reflex. She is also coughing a lot more. I met with the neurologist and neonatologist yesterday to get their impressions and game plan. The neurologist showed me her brain MRI, and she definitely has an insult to her thalmus area. The neurologist was very concerned but was optimistic and really stressed the importance of aggressive therapy for Audrey. Audrey's follow-up EEG was really good and shows almost normal activity for a neonate. Time and continued prayer are going to be the biggest allies for Audrey. We are optimistic she will continue to do well. Shannon will spend Monday night at Duke so she can demonstrate she can care for Audrey by herself before she is ready to come home. I will watch the kids on Monday night and probably ask off for a couple of days when she gets home on Tuesday or Wednesday. We're definitely excited to get her home, but it is a little overwhelming because things are going to change a lot ensuring that she gets everything that she needs. Talk to you soon.......
