[Dailydrool] Thanks for the drool

[Amy Rapp]

Hi Droolers.

Thank you Beth for the note about Ian and me.   I've been noticeably 
absent from the drool for a while,  it was a very difficult pregnancy, 
and I was on bedrest or sick the whole time.  

I thought someone had posted something,  because I stopped in last night 
to help with Ian's scheduled cares and find out his weight (he's finally 
crested 3 pounds!)  and there was  a stack of web cards from droolers!

Y'all never cease to amaze me.  Unfortunately,  I've had to give up 
fostering, for obvious reasons,  so if anyone in Ohio or surrounding 
states has room to help,  contact OBR,  they're always in need of good 
foster homes.

The thing about the NICU is that for every two steps forward, you take 
one back.  Fortunately, Ian has had almost none of the complications of 
prematurity that he could have gotten (no brain bleeds, lung disease, 
intestinal infections etc)  he has been doing great.  I haven't updated 
caringbridge yet, but yesterday Ian was taken of Nasal Cannula and put  
back on the CPAP.  We are going to try to move him off the CPAP again on 
Monday. 

my poor Banjo,  we are gone 12 to 16 hours a day.  I was leaving the dog 
door open until a neighbor (nasty sour woman, have run in with her 
before) called the cops about Banjo's barking.  So now he's in the house 
all day,  pooping in the basement (argh) I might have to pay someone to 
come let them out a few times, or get him a kennel.

Thanks so much for the Drool,  y'all are just wonderful!!
