Taking a break

Although we've had some setbacks, today has been a bit brighter. Yesterday was draining for all and we just needed a good nights rest. Overall, Alex is doing well on the CPAP and we are grateful she is not back in the PICU or on the vent. Her little body just got overly tired fighting off the secretions and she needed a break. The docs did confirm that she has another UTI so they started her on antibiotics. Although she's still pretty fussy, she has been taking good naps throughout the day and enjoyed afternoon story time in momma's lap.

Thanks for the encouraging posts. We needed those. We are looking forward to the sun coming out so our little baby girl can ride her bike again :)

Nicole & Jimmy I know how heart breaking this journey has been for the two of you. Just know that the two of you are amazing parents! Alex couldn't ask for two more amazing people to support her and fight with her! She may be little but she is as strong and determined as the two of you to beat this and make you proud! She will be back on her bike soon! In the mean time we will all be here to support the three of you in what ever direction she decides to ride! We are all praying and glad we can share and support you during this time! Love you all! Jenene ;) xoxoxoxo

It was great to see little Alex resting yesterday afternoon. We pray for strength and endurance for all 3 of you (and wish we could pass a little of Calvin's energy your way!). Hope you're enjoying the new digs!
