Pseudomonas Free

Great news everybody!  We received a call yesterday with the results of Adalyn’s throat culture.  We’re SUPER excited to announce that Adalyn is Pseudomonas free!  Not only that but the test revealed there was NO bacteria growth, Pseudomonas or otherwise, and Adalyn is as healthy as can be.  As you can imagine, our vacation immediately got ten times better.  As a matter of fact we’re still partying.  🙂  BIG thanks to all those that have been thinking and praying for Addy.  Your support means the world to us.  Here’s Adalyn working on her wink and thumbs up combo.

Hair Bow Connoisseur

Adalyn’s love for hair bows is trumped only by her infallible taste in sippy cups. 😉  FYI:  Adalyn’s throat culture swab has been moved to tomorrow.  Hopefully we can get a rush on the results and know if we’ve kicked this pseudomonas bacteria or not.  We’re keeping our fingers tightly crossed.

Bye Bye House

This long Labor Day weekend has flown by for our family. Staying true to the holiday’s name, we worked all weekend long getting our belongings out of our house and into storage in order to be ready for closing tomorrow. We’re all exhausted. The work was only temporarily stopped for an afternoon birthday celebration for my Grandfather who turned 90 (Happy Birthday Pops!) and a quick dinner in honor of my In-law’s 35th wedding anniversary.  While we were loading up the last of our things, Adalyn was itching to play with the ducks one last time. How could we resist?  She had a blast feeding them pieces of bread. Although, over the years, we’ve found they prefer a handful of Cap’n Crunch over anything else.

Weekend Update

We just wanted to update our friends and family of all the latest happenings with the ‘ol Crew.  First off is Adalyn:  She’s been doing great since starting her treatments.  She’s finished up her oral antibiotic and is plowing through the rest of her TOBI like a trooper.  She’s seemed to have gotten over her cough and is sounding/breathing like normal.  She’s showing no signs of being sick and, in fact, she’s been chock full of energy these past few days.  Hopefully things will continue the way they’re going and by September 7th when she goes back to Clinic to get tested, she’ll be pseudomonas free!  We’re certainly keeping our fingers crossed!  Unfortunately, our trip to the Botanical Gardens was rained out this weekend, but that didn’t stop us from playing outside in the yard.  Adalyn got into all sorts of trouble running around in the rain picking up flowers (weeds) and playing in the mud puddles.

Second update: we’re finally coming to the end of our house hunt.  We are set to close on our house September 3rd and we’ve narrowed the home we want to buy down to two.  We are going to revisit one of them tomorrow evening and plan on making our decision afterwards.  Exciting stuff!

Final update: Baby boy is doing great.  He’s measuring about 4-5 days ahead of schedule and the doctor advised us that he doesn’t see any need for Kayla to continue to come in weekly for a check up.  His heart looks healthy and the blood flow to his brain appears to be normal.  We thank everyone who’s been thinking about and praying for our family.  We greatly appreciate it!

That’s all for the weekend update.  I’ll close with a few pictures of Adalyn finally noticing the vapor that comes out of her nebulizer.  It kept her attention for a little while.  Until she found her foot, that is.  Silly girl.
