Today has been one of the hardest so far. I don't have the energy to write about it in detail so I'll be brief. Penny's lungs didn't get worse over the day so we decided to give her a shot at extubation. It didn't go well. She tried really hard but just couldn't do it so she had to be reintubated. It was a really rough little bit of time that I'm sure I can't accurately estimate because it felt like an eternity to me! She got settled and resedated and I ended up getting very sick. Let's just say I owe the sweet housekeeping lady after what she had to deal with today. The Lord provided what I needed though by way of Jackie (Lynnlee's mom) and my sister. After some rest I was able to get to the car so my sister could take me home. I think it's a stress induced migraine and is easing up a little. Hopefully I don't make a habit of this though!

I'm going back to bed now but here are a few moments I managed to capture today.



Sofia and Jenifer visiting from the NICU last night

Sweet Pea with everything off of her face. It didn't last long but she looked so beautiful!

Reintubated and resting

Lydia hasn't rested well all day (I think she knows penny isn't well) and so when it came time for night night she was ready. HUGE thanks to Aunt Linda the Great for loving on my baby for me when I couldn't.
