Hurry Up And Wait
Waiting is the word. Ainsley has been doing well the past couple of days. She has slowly been improving on her blood gas tests, she's making slow steps towards reducing her oxygen needs, and her movement has come back nicely. The physical therapist was even stimulating her enough yesterday to try and get her to open her eyes. She isn't quite there yet, but did give the PT some good reflexes and responses to firm touch. Yesterday was a good one for small steps of progress and because Ginnie was able to hold Ainsley for about 2 hours! I think this helps both Ginnie and Ainsley, and is some of the best healing one can get. So, we're all just hanging in there with tons of hope, watching in awe at Ainsley's improvements, and hoping she decides to show us something new each day! Thanks again for all the love an support being sent our way! We really appreciate it and keep it coming! Ainsley has a ways yet to go, but she is on her way there!

So sorry that Kenly's illness is keeping us from bring dinner tonight. I hope that Ainsley and Ginnie get some good snuggle time today. And you need some too.
ReplyDeleteMamas have this crazy drive to hold their babies through every hurt. I will be praying peace.
No problem! Just let us know when it works out for you guys. And I will hold her too : ) I have just been deferring some of my time to Ginnie because I just think there is more of a bond/recognition with mothers and their babies and I want Ainsley to have as much of that as possible. Thanks for all of your prayers and support Rhonda!
ReplyDeletePhysical touch can be so healing! Which makes me think you and Ginnie should indulge in a massage in the near future ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Ginnie is able to have some bonding time with Ainsley. I'm sure just hearing her mother's voice has healing powers in and of itself. You, Ginnie, and Ainsley Bea are in my thoughts and prayers every day. Progress is progress, progress is good. Much love...
