Hey Guys,
I know it’s been a while since I’ve made a post. My intention was to post when I had updates, but I realize now that we need to update everyone more regularly. So I will do my best to update the website at least once a week.
So here is what has been going on for the last couple of weeks.
I completed all of the insurance and long term care paperwork. These have been submitted, and we are now waiting for everything to move forward. We are still having some transportation problems, and because of a miscommunication, we have not have been able to see Mandy nearly as often as we wanted and needed to. We have completed the training for the medical side except for her medications. Now we are just waiting to complete the respiratory part. So far we have been signed off on suctioning and trach care. Now we need to do trach replacement, ambu-bag, and CPR. These have to be completed before Mandy can come home. So that is the next step.
We did get to see Mandy today, and she is doing really well. I think she is starting to teethe though. Both Teresa and I held her for a little bit, and it was a really special moment. She calmed down and just laid there and looked up at us. She especially likes to suck on my finger. I’m not going to be able to do that much more. Her jaw is really strong, and once she gets her teeth in, I might just lose a finger.
We have several Doctor’s Appointments coming up and we will keep everyone updated as things develop. Please continue to keep us in prayer. We are still struggling financially, although we are getting some debt paid off. We have some major decisions coming up regarding the long term of Mandy. Please pray for us for wisdom and guidance.
Love in Christ,
Michael and Teresa Blaes
