Last Christmas we each took a kiddo on a fun trip as their gifts, and Birdie and I flew to Los Angeles for a Billie concert. It was the trip of a lifetime. Interestingly, Billie has a song called "The 30th." I think it's about a friend in a car accident, but many of the lyrics are eerily similar to Birdie's stroke, which happened on May 30th. Fast forward three ridiculously long but insanely quick months to today, August 30th, and this special, real-life miracle creature just walked into high school. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWD2Eko6EAjQxfKBsy0YVwkhWL3TqF5zgdPCrL-bZfdGMbzThzXeO4q0DlkJBNzhVazO_l0mxQ0WaagolybH_EJrrqg4tnn96dsFefqDdELXAReQ1X2kc4SM36JDcJtWoU0Dw_k5SBn76pNSxDFh0sBT1fAnI_aobJS3jVGSkOHZ_bUsZ5YRyf6SboGSA/s3167/first%20day%20of%209th%20grade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3167" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWD2Eko6EAjQxfKBsy0YVwkhWL3TqF5zgdPCrL-bZfdGMbzThzXeO4q0DlkJBNzhVazO_l0mxQ0WaagolybH_EJrrqg4tnn96dsFefqDdELXAReQ1X2kc4SM36JDcJtWoU0Dw_k5SBn76pNSxDFh0sBT1fAnI_aobJS3jVGSkOHZ_bUsZ5YRyf6SboGSA/w612-h640/first%20day%20of%209th%20grade.jpg" width="612" /></a></div>andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148460545948064284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357032256113370742.post-78279686978188557972023-08-19T10:48:00.004-05:002023-08-19T10:48:57.430-05:00I don't care if we on the run.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7h4x6bfGybmgIw8XmlCOOvIjG8rpGEkIqdsv3lFQxAzvve8ze8-buTY3_HRO8xJo23iJgYW2riAq9juJRneT1_TPkl7dJ-wmxClfejYEtDh9NCmdyTOLoPG9Zv7Wu8irEthIXYKPlTFP_lLasxoRIkTLEdbbVtVoVAu1HDYuMA9LpLyLTQTuW3bxI1Hw/s960/birdie%20card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7h4x6bfGybmgIw8XmlCOOvIjG8rpGEkIqdsv3lFQxAzvve8ze8-buTY3_HRO8xJo23iJgYW2riAq9juJRneT1_TPkl7dJ-wmxClfejYEtDh9NCmdyTOLoPG9Zv7Wu8irEthIXYKPlTFP_lLasxoRIkTLEdbbVtVoVAu1HDYuMA9LpLyLTQTuW3bxI1Hw/w640-h480/birdie%20card.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>We escaped!

It feels so wonderful to have the four of us all back together. </p><p>We went to Common Bond for celebratory kouign amanns last night.

All of the scans look great. However, she is in a lot of pain, and we can't seem to stay ahead of it. On top of that, she is having terrible side effects from the all of the anesthesia and pain meds.<div><br /></div><div>She's napping beside me after a rough night, so I'm hoping she'll feel better after a few solid hours of sleep. What's a little bonkers is that we are in the exact same intermediate room from the last time. Before yesterday's surgery, it felt like Birdie's stroke happened a year ago. Now that we're right back in the same place, it feels like two days. It's a bit of a mind trip. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was sending a pic to David this morning to show him we were in the same room, and I remembered this same shot from just two months ago.

This gave her a hemorrhagic stroke. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She was life-flighted to the children's hospital in Houston where she had brain surgery to stop the bleeding.

Birdie is progressing through therapy so quickly that we'll most likely only be here for two weeks, and today is day 5! I don't want to jinx it because it's all based on how well everything goes, but we should be bustin' outta here soon. </p><p>She has been walking laps, practicing stairs, painting, practicing with makeup, and tying her shoes. These are all assisted and with support for safety, but she's doing it! </p><p>Also, her pain has severely dropped. She has to wear a very heavy helmet to protect her noggin, so she is sore and stiff from that by the end of the day. Otherwise, she rarely asks for pain meds--sometimes I have to remind her to ask when she needs it. </p><p>She really is GI Birdie. I said something the other day about that movie and how the character shaved her head and was such a tough woman in an extreme military environment, etc. She goes, "Keep Will Smith's wife's name out of your mouth!" This girl. Never stops cracking us up. </p><p>I always seem to post when she's asleep or when I'm away from her, and I never think to ask for her permission ahead of time. I will try to remember today, so I can include a picture. Thank you, thank you for your continued prayers and check-ins. We'll be home before you know it. Once she has her cranioplasty (to replace her skull segment), we are going to throw the biggest party our neighborhood has ever seen. You're all invited!</p>andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148460545948064284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357032256113370742.post-40538521987194369792023-06-18T10:09:00.006-05:002023-08-16T11:41:04.419-05:00Paper Planes<p>I have an idea for cheering this gal up. If you're feeling up for it, please consider sending Birdie your favorite joke by snail mail. I'm envisioning that scene from "Miracle on 34th Street" or for the younger, more modern crowd, the letters for Huel on "Better Call Saul." xo</p>andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148460545948064284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357032256113370742.post-80641641318776664722023-06-18T07:37:00.000-05:002023-06-18T07:37:21.444-05:00Let me work it. <p>We have officially moved into the rehab center! She is medically stable, so it's time to get to work. Starting tomorrow morning, she will have around 4 hours of physical and occupational therapy daily. </p><p>They have a little courtyard, and I was able to take her outside on Friday for the first time since May 30th! We have a lovely window and room, and we are still allowed to stay with her overnight. She may get a roommate this week, which I think will be great! I can imagine she's ready for a new face and someone different to talk to. </p><p>The staff and David and I have perspective because we can see how well she is doing, but she is feeling a little down. She is still very determined and has already shown how much she wants to get her left side back. However, I know that positive vibes and laughter always heal my babies, so think funny thoughts! </p><p>Tomorrow, the real work begins. David is going back full time, Winston is in 6am football camp, and Birdie and I will start rehab in earnest. </p><p>As Winston would say, "Let's go!"</p>andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148460545948064284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357032256113370742.post-24386695011848953082023-06-15T07:37:00.002-05:002023-06-15T07:37:57.869-05:00But only on the left side, yeah, that's the Bird side.<p>Y'all. This gal's left side is waking up. David sent me a video of her making a fist and releasing it! </p><p>We have the most wonderful team of therapists who are experts at lovingly pushing her to work really hard. Birdie and I played Connect 4 yesterday on one of those large yard-game sets. She needed support but only a little help. She is determined. </p><p>Did you know Birdie knits? She made her first two crocheted bikini tops right before her stroke, so one of her big goals is to get home so she can make the one I put an order in for because of course I did. </p><p>We also have an art therapist who is fantastic. She brought knitting materials, and Birdie taught her how to crochet! </p><p>Once Birdie approves, I will try to come back and add pictures. I am curious to see how and when Birdie will want to share her story with the world. I think it could help others. I have recently gotten back on Instagram to search for #pediatricstrokesurvivors and have read a few stories; they've helped me. </p><p>Finally, we should be medically approved to move to rehab today! Once we receive the insurance approval, we can move over. That will be Stage 3 of 3 in the steps to getting her home. We are not going to rush it, but she is very anxious to get home and in her bed. We are going to mentally plan for a month, but I'm betting it will be shorter than that. </p><p>I thought I was a pretty tough chick until I watched this girl go through this experience. Not even close. This kid is a Marine. One of our friends said, "Birdie is going to come back stronger than ever." YES.</p>andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148460545948064284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357032256113370742.post-30539024738142125302023-06-13T07:31:00.001-05:002023-06-13T07:31:44.318-05:00Smile. You recordin'?<p>I know y'all know that Birdie is a sweetheart and is so kind and generous. However, you may not know how much of a hard worker she is. She pays for her cell phone and her fun extra things like going to the movies with friends and shopping. We give her opportunities to make money, of course. For example, she overhauled my closet in the past--amaze. However, she also babysits, makes and sells blankets, makes and sells jewelry, and she's gone to homes to do laundry and organize their closets. My point is that she has the same attitude toward recovery. </p><p>Y'all, SHE STOOD UP TWO DAYS AGO. </p><p>This girl is determined. Her positive, hilarious, and happy attitude are returning. We were all laughing so hard the other day about cleaning the carpet from where she threw up after her stroke (yes, I can put a positive spin on ANYTHING) that her left side of her smile came back!! I don't want to ever forget the time when I told the story about the cruise Heimlich maneuver story that made her laugh so hard, it brought her smile back to me. </p><p>Thank you, thank you for the continued prayers and check-ins. We are so very lucky.</p>andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148460545948064284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357032256113370742.post-39408121344756665262023-06-12T21:10:00.000-05:002023-06-12T21:10:15.583-05:00Fish don't fry in the kitchen.

Not all superheroes wear capes ("For real, for real," as Birdie would say) is so true. Some push your baby's PICU bed, comfort her like no one else can, and charm all the nurses for all of the extra help.

She had such a wonderful day yesterday. For the first time, she was able to sit in bed and draw on the iPad and have a few minutes of quiet time to herself while David and I spoke in the hall. I am so, so grateful. We still have her and she is still herself. I can't believe how lucky we are. </p><p>Then, the night came. The nights are so hard. Depression is setting in and getting worse. When I am with her overnight, she wants my comfort and to talk about how sad she is. There's more, but I want to respect her privacy. She and David do so much better together at night because he can distract her, and I can't. He has been so amazing, which I know is not a surprise to anyone. </p><p>The great news is that I think we should be able to move from the ICU to another floor within 3-ish days. I am keeping our fingers crossed that moving rooms and losing at least some of her plugs--"I feel like an outlet."--will lift her spirits. </p><p>I don't know how long we'll be there. Maybe a week or two? It's so hard to predict.</p>andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01148460545948064284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357032256113370742.post-5158161725726902682023-06-07T08:35:00.001-05:002023-06-10T19:16:45.629-05:00Birdie update<p>On May 30th, 2023, Birdie had a ruptured brain aneurysm, which led to a hemorrhagic stroke. As of right now, she is in the pediatric ICU. </p><p>We couldn't have gotten her to the hospital and into surgery any faster than we did.

Please know that David, Winston, and I are grateful and will definitely be asking for help when we need it. Thank you to those who have helped keep Winston's life on track; he is happy and doing well. </p><p>My phone does not work in her room, so I can't send updates often. I will start doing it here from now on when I can.
