Today June 4th, 2008 Baby Gracie made it home at 2pm. As you can imagine the whole family is soooo excited. She got to see her cute pink nursery today for the first time. She will be 11 weeks old tomorrow. We have been waiting a long time for her to make it home.
I have been negligent on my blog. A lot has happened the last two months, and I will spend some time this week and make a few posts. I do like to blog but with the selling of our house, baby Gracie, Grandpa Evans, Phil and his work and most time spent is on my children. So enough said as to why I am not blogging and I will get caught up this week.

Reece's in town
Tuesday was a fun day. Jesse, Hunter and I went to Grandma Evans and picked up Tyler and Deb and went to Carl's Jr. The kids played for about 2 hours and Deb and I had a chance to visit. It's hard to keep up on events when you live out of town, so it was fun to have time to visit. Later Melissa, her boys and Kristin, Deb and Cindy came to my house for dinner. Fun time.
Gramps got home from the hospital today and slept the afternoon away. Grams was pretty tired herself.
Friday will be a big day for Baby Gracie. That is the day they plan on closing her chest cavity. Right now with it being open, they can remove the patch and change things, tighten, clean, remove swelling basically do what ever it takes to keep her stable, but on Friday they close that cavity and then it won't be easy to manage her heart.

When it rains it pours
Baby Gracie is getting stronger every hour, it seems that she is now breathing on her own without much help. Michele said "Gracie is down to 30% oxygen and her chest x-ray today looks better than yesterday." We are not out of the woods, but she is improving.
On a sadder note, Phil's dad, Larry, suffered a heart attack last night. He is in the hospital and is in stable condition for the time being. I will post again as new information becomes available.
I am still sick and Larry's condition doesn't help my stress level go down; and it is raining in Boise right now. Conference is good, God is good and we are grateful for life.

Gracie made it through the night.
I just heard the great news. Baby Gracie made it through the night. Of course there are still concerns about her lungs, but she made it through the night. We are so happy at our house.
What a day April 4th has been
Here's the quilt I have been working on as I wait to hear the
outcome of baby Gracie. I spent a few hours peacing the quilt together. I don't have a definate pattern, other than one quilt block will be plad, the next one will be plain. I have ended up getting sick. I have a bad sore throat and very conjested probably because of the stress of baby Gracie. I was going to run errands Friday but the not knowing what was going to happen kept me home quilting and being physically sick. I still don't know how Gracie did during the night, but I will post again when I know something.

Quilting and Baby Gracie
March 31, 2008
Needless to say my quilting is coming along. It helps pass the time away as Baby Gracie is still in critical condition. Saturday they were going to take her off life support and let her heart do the work, but the moment they did that the heart beat was too weak and the blood pressure went way down, so they immediately put her back on life support. They are looking at all the possible complications as to why her heart beat isn't stronger. They went back in her chest, adjusted the valve, coterized a small bleed, and discovered her thyroid was low, so they fixed all these issues and will try on Tues or Wed to take her off life support again.
So my house is clean and my quilt is coming along. I just about have all the fabric cut out. I am winging it since I don't know how big to make it or even what it will be used for, I just needed to get my mind off of Baby Gracie. Off to house work I go, an ever constant vigil we do.

Getting ready to go Swimming.
Today the kids announced to me that it was time to go swimming, so we came up with a way for them to get ready for swimming. We put on their swim suits and life jackets, filled up the big tub and let them practice floating and making bubble faces. they had a great time, and for the last 3 days they have done this.
In Fact today at 7am Hunter comes in and woke me up and said Mom I need to get in the big tub right now so I can practice swimming. It's almost summer.
