Week of Blogging Day 4: Baby Sweetness Update


I just thought I would give a quick update on our niece "Sweetness":

--She is out of the hospital and "home" with her parents, DH's sister and her husband (Auntie N and Uncle S).  Amazingly, she went home right around the same time she would have been born!

--Today she is 6 months old (2 months corrected) and weighs almost 10 lbs! 

--She is still on oxygen, and still has "Brady's" but is overall doing well--despite teething!

--And the potential eye issues she was facing seem to be no longer be a concern!  Yay!

--Their little family is still living in someone's condo in Colorado Springs for now, still unsure about their long-term living situation, but Uncle S. went back to India for his work and to move their things out of their old apartment and into storage, since it does not look like they will be heading back to India anytime soon--Sweetness' health is just too fragile, and will be for possibly several more years.  As Auntie N. told me, Sweetness' lungs are still so vulnerable that a cold could be life-threatening.   : ( 

--While Uncle S. was in India for several weeks, DH's mom went out to CO to stay with her daughter and grand-daughter, and I heard it was a true blessings from Auntie N., as Sweetness needs lots of attention.

--We hope to see them this summer, but not sure it will happen (not with gas at $5 a gallon!).  At least we Skype every so often, so we can see Sweetness in full adorable baby action.  Oh, and to say hello to her parents.  Whom we also love.  But nothing would be nicer than to finally get to hold her. : )



Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms--May you feel the fullness of God's blessings this weekend. : )
