I dream of sleeping. I dream of laying on the ground hoping for sleep. I dream about how incredibly tired I am and I have not had massive surgery, so what does Bailynn dream about? Does she dream of operating rooms, fear, massive florescent lights and surgical masks? I have to wonder. I have to… Read More
Bob and I successfully removed Bailynn humongous bandage from her back today and with no tears shed! Really, it was from her hairline to her booty crack! Ridiculously huge! She did fabulously! Her back looks amazing. Even with a huge incision down it, it looks awesome. There is no swelling. There are no rods poking… Read More
We have made it to Friday and Bai is still doing fabulous! She ate full meals today, we have weened her off her pain meds gradually today to see how low a dose and how long she can make it – long and low. The incision is still covered with a long bandage that we… Read More
We made it home!!!! Happy Hammonds Family here! We have got some hugs & licks in with our missed furry family, I have rolled 2 loads of laundry, ran to the grocery store, and watched the girls leap around in joy. Home is our favorite place! To think I spent another sleepless night on a hospital… Read More

Her frail little frame, seemingly weak, filled with the strength of a mighty hero. Bailynn doesn’t cease to impress or inspire me.… Read More
She is out and in her room. Room 4016. Her face is very swollen. The morphine and Valium have her pretty out of it. There are some issues with a Dural tear. I’ll update on that later, but she is doing well otherwise. For her Bobbi
We drove up to Indy last evening, after saying goodbye to our furry bunch, and tucked into our hotel room. Happy spring break to this homeschooling crew. Sleep eluded us and I will admit that we stayed up way later than we ever do watching the food network and trying to get through the night.… Read More
2 days. Bailynn slept through the night, and though she has still had a few seizures, she is looking a little less out of it today. She isn’t eating much, she isn’t peppy, but she is at least interested in watching a movie and throwing me a dirty look or 2. Possibly because I took… Read More
Here’s to the “plans” we all make, may we laugh together as they fall apart.
