Kool Kidz Camp

Caroline enjoyed her first day at camp. They tie dyed t-shirts, played soccer and snacked on snowcones. She loved it! Thank you Kool Kidz!!

Hooray for Summer

Caroline enjoyed her last week of school! She had a fabulous time with her classmates at Mrs. Sproat's pool party and really enjoyed the 2nd grade portfolio picnic. We had a neighborhood pool party on the last day of school and went to see a Braves game yesterday. Both she and Tate had a blast at the game and topped of the night at Karen and Ralph's Memorial Day party. Today we spent the day at Granna's. The kids were glad to see their cousins. We'll be sure to post birthday pics...6 days and counting!!!!!!

Mother's Day hello

Hello everyone! It's been a while since we posted. Caroline's been a busy girl. She's still recovering nicely. Her Pediatrician checked her incision last week-looks good. Caroline's ready to swim!! I'm going to post some pics of her latest out-n-about's. She was extremely proud to receive a reward at her Girl Scout meeting for selling the most amount of cookies in her troop. Still waiting on the shower radio! Thank you Ms. Laura and Ms. Daniele for a great year!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day today. I'm the luckiest mom in the world!

Congratulations Stanley family on the birth of your baby boy, Harper! We love you!

Take care!

Home Sweet Home

Caroline was discharged yesterday! It was a whirlwind being moved out of the PICU & onto the floor-then to x-ray, CT then d/c'd the next day! It's so good to be home. She did great on the flight and slept until 11:00 this am. She's only asked for Tylenol a couple of times and feels really good. Dr. Campbell said she could return to school next week. We'll start off with half days.

Thank you all again for your well wishes and prayers. We are so grateful for our support system. Couldn't do all this without you~

Hope you all enjoy your weekend. Take care. SP
P.S. CHRISTUS will forward Caroline's mail to our home address. Thanks!

Parting the Resident Sea

Caroline got her JP out this am and has floor privileges. She couldn't get on her scooter fast enough and busted through report. You go girl!

In PICU but have a rm lined up--just in time to get d/c x-rays and paperwork. Maybe home tomorow! SP

Chest Tube Is Out!!

WooHoo! They pulled Caroline's chest tube out today and she did great! The JP will come out tomm. Still waiting on a room. I'm thinking we'll be d/c'd from here afterall! This is Caroline's Respiratory Therapist, Casey. He takes good care of her and always makes her smile! SP

Monday Update

Caroline had a good day today. Still in the PICU~6th floor's full. She's tolerating formula via G-tube (10cc/hr) with minimal pain. Labs still suggest some bacteria somewhere in her tummy. She refused all pain meds today and is moving slowly, but is moving. She's sitting up w/ help and rolling side to side easier. Still no problems in the Resp. dept. Her chest and JP have really slowed down. They plan on removing the chest tube tomm. and leaving the JP to pick up the slack. She said today that she wants to go home and she misses school. We played cards, Connect Four, and did some word searches. I'll update again tomm. Thanks for checking in! Take care~SP



Thank you Sandy for the airline tickets! We don't know what we'd do without you!!
