Transporting Back to St. Joe's


Good Morning Everyone! We had a pretty good day yesterday. Callie was out of it for most of the day and the staff made sure that she was nice and comfortable. I don't think we had mentioned it, but before the transfer they had put her back on the Oscillator (Ventillator) because of her lungs getting damaged from a combination of the PDA, prematurity and the ventillator itself. Since the surgery, they have been able to gradually take the settings down on the oscillator, so they feel she is stable enough to transport her back to St. Joe's this morning at 11. Please keep the transport team and Callie in your prayers as she makes her way back to St. Joe's!

This picture is of Callie in her first hat here at Sinai. She loves to open one eye when she is first waking up and going to sleep.

  1. This is absolutely wonderful news. I love her first hat! She is styling!!

    Continue the fight little one, you are so loved.

    Mommy and Daddy hang in there. Just think when she reaches the teen years, it will be a walk in the park compared to what the past days have been.

    Love you all,
    Rick, April & Matt

  6. That hat is too cute! I still have Jack's first hospital hat. I take it out every once in awhile to remember just how small he was. Years from now, you'll be doing the same thing and you won't believe how fast she's grown up.

    It's so great to see her doing so well. Glad to hear she'll be making her way back to St. Joe's today. That's fantastic news that she's doing so well post-op. She looks so good.

    We love you.
