Quick update.... Pictures from outside

Selah is about the same.  I'm getting ready to go up and see her.  She did throw up today and I have some concerns that the meds she is on is not working.  Today we changed doctors, upon my request as I felt the doctor she had was condescending to me and was not looking at the whole picture with Selah.  It seemed to me that the doctor was going out of her way to find something new wrong with Selah and bringing in a bunch of specialists.  It just didn't seem like we were using "common sense"....  To me it was obvious, we were unable to finish the antibiotics so she relapsed....  but to this doctor, there was a new cardiac problem. or lung issue or maybe neurological issue....GEEZ...if it looks like a zebra, acts like a zebra, walks like a zebra....it's probably a Zebra....  Then the doctor was also rude to me.....I dont' play well with folks like that.

I'm all about seeing specialists, BUT when she has already been cleared by cardiology, and there is nothing new....then let's be reasonable! 

One of my best BFF from my college days is on her way here:)  She and her family are vacationing in Florida and are taking time to come and see us!!!  She is going with me to the hospital.  Meichelle and I have been friends a long time and it's been a long time since we've seen each other because for some crazy reason she wants to live on the other side of the country!!!!

A year ago today we were allowed to take the girls out on the porch.  That is as far outside as they had gone since the day they arrived there.  Selah had been there almost 4 years and Sarah a year...




This is taken out of our kitchen window
 
Wild dogs

 
 

 
 

 
we had another flat on the way.....

 
Outside in snow suits!  Poor Selah could hardly stand up

 
 

 
All the toys were broken

 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 




 
 
 

 
we were supposed to leave by 11:30 am so we went outside but no driver.  We walked around and took pictures.  Lots of animals there

 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 


 
 
Then some of the older residents came out

 
 

 
the laundry house

 
 

 
 
 

 
the coal house

 
some of the ladies washed clothes

 
where the girls lived

Walkway between the main building and the children's building

Happy with my Pepsi:)

 
So our first day "outside" was a sucess and the girls were happy.  For the first time, Selah fussed when her nurse came to take her away.  We were thrilled:)  Although she may have just liked being outside, it seemed like she liked us:)

Please pray for Selah!!!!

  1. Some of those dogs look a bit scary! We saw cats but very few dogs...they must of found shelter elsewhere in the negative weather. Those pics of the girls in the snow suits crack me up! What sweet memories and I am jealous of all those pictures. We have to plan to go back in the summer so I can take more pics instead of hibernating!
