Too many titles

This post could have lots of titles...


Title #1: Crying over spilled milk...
Some people may say that I've done a lot of crying over spilled milk the last few days. However to those people I would say "you must never have had a child in the hospital on oxygen, receiving fluids via IV, with leads on their chest to watch their heart rate and breathing, for 60 hours." It is a sight that I've had to see 2 times in Jentry's short 11 months. It is a sight that I hope I never have to see again for as long as she lives.


Title #2: Thank you...
Jack and I would like to thank all of you who prayed for our Jentry (and us too) the past few days. We both know the power of prayer does wonders...and we believe that your prayers along with ours helped Jentry to get better.


Title #3: It feels good...
It feels so good to be at home. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed tonight. I know Jentry is much happier now that we are back at her castle...she has taken 2 naps in her crib, played a little, ate some food and now is sound asleep. I know I'm happy that I don't have to sleep in a uncomfortable recliner next to the metal crib Jentry was in. I'm happy that we don't have to spend our night listening to monitors going off or all of the sounds outside of Jentry's hospital room. It will be a nice quiet night here at home. I know Jack is happy to be sleeping in a bed that is not a uncomfortable couch and is long enough so his legs don't hang off the end. Now don't get us wrong, it was so nice to be able to stay at the hospital with Jentry, but I must say the accommodations are not the most comfortable!

Title #4: My rock
I must say that I am the luckiest woman on the face of this earth. I could not have picked a better man to marry or to be the father to our child. He was a very steady rock for both Jentry and I this past week. I know I've said this before...but he is wonderful and he keeps me in check when I fall off the wagon...that happens when your little one is in the hospital. He let me cry on his shoulder quite often this past week...it was a lot like when Jentry was in the NICU. It felt like DeJaVu...however this time we were able to stay in her room 24/7 with her. I know Jentry thinks her Dada is the best and she spent lots of time on his lap while she was in the hospital. He sat and held her for many hours the past few days. We are very lucky that he has a wonderful employer and that he was able to take the time off to be at the hospital with Jentry and I. I don't know how I would have made it through this ordeal without him. Thank you Jack for being a solid rock for Jentry and I. We both love you more than you know!

See...there are many titles this post could have had...but to sum it all up, we are very happy that Jentry is feeling well enough to be at home and we appreciate all the prayers that were said for our family this week.
