Summer Fun

I know I'm slacking with our blog.....But, I've been doing lots of fun and happy things. Life is good. I feel like my old self again. FINALLY!! I'm not going into detail, but it's been a hard year. Good things are happening in our lives right now. I went out with my Russellville girls and had a blast. It's always great to see them and laugh. I hate that I missed the late night Hula Hoopin Extravaganza!! Kat, you need to take that to another level!!! The video on YOUTUBE is OTC-Off the Chain!!

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!
