Callie Bug is 3 Week Old

It is hard to believe that my precious, little girl is already 3 weeks old. CRAZY!!! Time has already flown by. Today was a great day for Miss Callie. We have seen a huge improvement in her today. At 11:30 this morning, they took Callie's oxygen off to see how she would do without it. It has almost been 12 hours and she still has not had any oxygen. This was great progress. When Dr. Stanley came in this morning doing his rounds, he said that if all goes well, we will get to leave here on Saturday. I actually thought they may try to send us home today or for sure tomorrow, but I guess I can handle 2 more days. I am so tired of being in this room, but I am so thankful that everything is going to eventually be ok with Miss Callie. We realize as sad and we have been that Callie got sick, it could be soooooooo much worse. Scott met a lady yesterday in the cafeteria, that had her son at 28 weeks. They have been in here a month already and have at least another month to go in the NICU. There is also a 2 day old baby in here with RSV. I found out today a girl I used to work with at Home Depot is going to find out tomorrow if one of her 9 month old twins has Cystic Fibrosis. I almost died when she told me that. I know it is such a serious disease. I am sure I will not be able to sleep tonight thinking and praying for her and her family. She sends me 2-3 messages a day checking on my sick children and she has a child that possibly has CF. I could not imagine. I had no idea she was going through that. I am trying hard not to complain about our stay here at Childrens, because it is amazing the wonderful care Callie has gotten and that I am so thankful that what we are here for will fix itself, unlike the many other children here at the hospital. I took a couple of pictures of Miss Callie today, since it is here 3 week old birthday, but I will have to add them once we get back home.
