Happy Birthday, Adelaide-Lemonade! Your Year in Pictures


Happy 1st Birthday, Addie! You've come so far! We adore you!!

Passing from Delivery ER into the NICU--Aug 21, 2017
1st day of the battle--chest tubes draining lung fluid.
Battling jaundice & praying liver will function.

"Stabilizing"--opening eyes.
Holding Addie for the 1st time--2 weeks old.

Swelling up the 2nd time with fluid!
We didn't see her eyeballs for 3 weeks!
Pitting edema--everywhere we touched you left a dent.




Dreaded seizures.

Healing is so exhausting!

Breathing head gear!


Chasing seizures--another month to go at Primary's.

Sweet little lamb.
Before: Oct 31--costume sitting atop my little body.

January 29, 2018: Finally getting to wear my Halloween costume.
G-tube surgery: my ticket to go home!

Home for Christmas! My present is home medical equipment!


I'm a slippery fish--it takes 2 to bathe me.
Head gear I can live with!




Chest percussion therapy--my daily dose of personal massage!
Darth Addie!  (the cough assist machine)

Addie invited her sisters for a slumber party in her room--can you find all 4 girls?



Baby gymnastics!
C is for Cookie--I hope to try some soon!
Helping my sister with homework!

Catching up on the sleep I rob from my Mom & Dad--Ha ha!
