Scoot Before the Race

Me Before the Race-I look so tired!!

We did it!! We finished our first 5k run. It was a great experience and I felt such a sense of accomplishment as I crossed the finished line. My time was 32:17 and Scoot's was 37:48. Dr. W. will be so proud! I'm doing this for my health, but also in memory of my baby. Thanks Lu for coming!! He rewarded us with a yummy lunch from Buffalo Grill. We went shopping at the mall and I treated myself to a pedicure. Pedis are my new favorite thing!! Mary cooked a delicious dinner and then we got in the hot tub. It was sooo relaxing...Have a great Sunday!!

Harrison Luther Hardin was born on 10.10.10, after I went into pre-term labor (again) at 26 weeks. We lost Baby Girl (23 weeker) two years ago, September 19, 2008. I suffered from PreEclampsia with both. After our first loss, I was referred to a high risk maternal fetal med dr. I had the BEST prenatal care under Dr. Wendel and Stephanie Wyatt. I give them and our lord credit for getting me to 26 weeks!

Harrison spent 93 days in the NICU at UAMS, where he got expert care from a team of Neonatologists, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Lactation Consultants, Ocupational/Physical Therapists, and Nurse Practitioners. We became constant fixtures in the NICU and have made a whole slew of lifelong friends there. We experienced extubation, reintubation, tube feeds, kangaroo care, breast feeds (me),apneas, caffeine, oxygen, d/c tube feedings, d/c O2, a car seat test...I'm sure I left something out. Since his homecoming on January 13, 2011, Harrison has thrived. Amazingly, his lungs are developing well for a baby with Chronic Lung Disease and doing developmentally well for a Level 3 brain bleed. Harrison receives physical therapy once a week and will attend Easter Seals Day School in August. We are so blessed with an amazing family and the most supportive friends in the world!
