Hayden is Home

After 5 nights in the PICU, we decided 20 minutes before the
the scheduled surgery, not to move forward with it. We
brought Hayden home and she has done well every since.
Hopefully she turned the corner on what ever was
causing her to have the drops. Thanks for your
thoughts and prayers.

Hayden back in hospital...

Hayden had several drops this Thur, so we took her back to the hospital.
She has been in PICU since Thur night. They are running extensive
tests on here to determine the problem. The tests are almost
exhausted and we have yet to find anything. She should be home
by Tues whatever the tests say.

Hayden is home!

After a 86 day stay at St. John's, Hayden
finally got to come home. She started out
at 2lbs 6oz 15''. She left at 8lbs and 20''.
(Riley came home at 4lbs 12oz and 18'')
We are very releaved to have her home.

Hayden and Riley met Santa in the NICU

Hey Kelly...

You let a chick from Minnesota hit it past you?
Old Pick from the Mizzou School paper '03
Amazing the old stuff on the web.

Everyone is doing well.

So Hayden is continues to grow and eat well. She is around 6 pounds and eating and weighing more than Riley did when she came home. We look for her to be home within a week.

Riley is growing too fast and uses her active imagination to get into anything she finds the need to explore.

Tiffany and Kristen are working hard in 4th and 2nd grade and are excellent big sisters.
