The ups and downs of crazy....

I never thought that after this last surgery that we would be sitting here two weeks later still with a breathing tube and now facting the questions of what next. Haley had the band over her lung after her first surgery, and then that Monday they opened her up again and moved the band on down. We thought within a few days we would start having our little girl back. I was sure by that weekend she would be extabated (I was also bringing the kids up). Well finally on Sunday they did take the breathing tube out but she had quite the struggle. I had to go home and I stayed til Wednesday (missing Valentine's day with Jeremy and Haley). I really enjoyed my time at home but really missed my hunny and sugars. It was really hard being away from them, but it's hard being away from the others too. I feel so torn! I was going to stay through at least until Thursday to meet up with the Huffs to get the car. Monday my van broke down. My brother thought it might be the battery so he came and changed it that night. Tuesday I went with my mom to Wichita and didnt drive my van. I was feeling very bummed that day, not being able to spend "LOVE" day with my husband was really getting me down. That night though Haley was really struggling (actually evening time) they had to reintubate her. Turns out she had a numothorax (a air sac that popped). They put a chest tube in. They wanted to do a bronc on Thursday to look at her lungs to see if she needs a trac. So putting everything on hold I decided to come back sooner. I went to eat lunch with Joe at school and when I drove up there the battery light came on. My van wasnt fixed so I would have to take Jeremy's truck. I got up here that Wednesday and the wait began. Thursday rolled around after a long night (I spent the night at the hospital giving Jeremy a break). The doctors came in and said that they would not do the bronc and give Haley a break, let her heal. So we were going to wait until next week. Now it's Saturday, and we went last night to get a good night's sleep at the Ronald MCdonald house. We got a call this morning around 6 am that she had another numothorax on the other side and they had to place another chest tube. They did a CT scan and that really didnt show anything. The resident didnt think it showed any bronochmalcia, so now we have to wait until she has the broncogram. The waiting is killing me. They had a day of prayer for Haley today. Im so thankful for that! We have some amazing prayer warrior friends! I am exhausted and hopefully it wont take two weeks until I update again.
