I know! Right?
I posted a lot and then *poof!* Gone.
In case you were wondering ...
My grandchild was born, recently, and spent 16 days in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). He aspirated (inhaled into the lungs) meconium (That tarry first poop that babies do) while in the womb. This is very damaging to a baby's lungs. It dissolves the surfactant (The stuff that lubricates the lining of the air sacs to keep them from getting stuck closed after exhaling) The doctors felt that it was extensive because they found meconium under his fingernails. He spent 2 days on a ventilator. The rest of the days were spent trying to get him to breath without the assistance of extra oxygen. Other than that he was born a beautiful (not just g'ma talk) 9lb 2 oz baby boy.
He's home now. Praise God for His kind mercy and healing and answering a lot of prayers
My days were spent driving his parents to and from the hospital. As most young couples go - their car isn't the most reliable one. I couldn't imagine his momma breaking down on the side of the road trying to get to the hospital to see her baby. So, I took it upon myself to see that this wouldn't happen.
And now, as it happens in my neck of the woods, it's Social Gathering season. The time of years when the weather is nice and there are 748297385265 bazillion things to do in one weekend. I've been busy.
So, I stopped in to say "Hi. I didn't fall off of the planet"
Happy piping :puffpipe:
