Today was a good day for both girls till about 7:00pm......
Mommy and Daddy went out to eat dinner with Uncle Joe and Auntie Jenni, finally a double date night away but the kids had another plan. Right when the food got there we get a call from the nurse, Courtney pulled out her feeding tube.....and hers has to be replaced in the ER. So we quick gather our food up and run through the mall to get home to bring her in.
We get her to the ER and she was all smiles and a happy little girl, not even phased by the tube being out. Well of course there is no one that can put her to sleep to do procedure because the time of night it is......they come in saying they could try it while awake but if it didnt work she would have to spend the night. I almost broke down at that point, because I spent 9 months of nights away from my baby I didnt want to spend another night away from her. I wake up every morning looking for that Courtney smile.....plus Crystals.
Well my little girl made it through the procedure just great. She was such a trooper. I couldnt be more proud of her. I had to be in the room while they did it to keep her calm, but since it was her normal bedtime she slept through some of it. I got to watch how they put the tube into her and it was interesting.....but I am the type of mommy that likes to know how things work and go with my children. I have learned one more thing about my babies tonight.
Durn all of this Crystal was at home with her nurse and did wonderful. I am so proud of them...when of them is sick or hurt the other one is a little angel. She knew her sister was hurting.
Courtney has been through so much in her 11.5 months of life, and this would make it her 2nd trip to the ER and than she had to be awake to get the tube back in. Poor little baby, but she acts like this is nothing. I took a minute to step back tonight and looked at all my babies have been through in their lives.....they are so strong and have such a will to prove everyone wrong. My babies have taught me alot about life, how precious it is, how to make every second count with the ones you love. My girls are my heroes and everything I do is for them.
Everytime I hear them cry, I want to cry because hearing them cry for me is the most beatiful nosie ever....I have waited so long to hear them cry like this. Everytime they learn something new, I cry....because people have said they would never do that. I dont know what my life would be like with out my miracle babies. I am proud to be their mommy.

ReplyDeleteThat really touched me. It also made me remember when they extubated Makenzie and I got to hear her cry for the first time, I just about fell to the floor in happy tears to hear that precious cry. I am the same as you, being a mom of a 23 weeker, every single milestone brings a tear to my eye and every thing is so precious. Mommies like us sure take nothing for granted! I'm so glad Crystal and Courtney are doing good.
