This is what we felt like after a week in the hospital! But 100x worse!
My mother in law flew in from Cali to help us out, she has been an absolute life savor! I really don't know what we would have done without her. She entertained Mya, wiped up puke and diarhea until we couldn't do it anymore. She really just dung in and did whatever the job called for, even if the job was really ugly, messy and smelled horrible.
Marlee actually picking up a toy to play at the hospital. SO nice to see her even look at a toy!
This last picture is my favorite, it was taken with TOdd's phone so quality not good. But the story behind this is that Marlee had been in hospital for 3 days at this point and they never came to give her a bath. She had puked on herself numerous times and pooped and you can imagine this poor little thing was really starting to stink. So I asked if we could give her a bath. Well, we were staying in the RT Unit which is for short stays only as in one or maybe two days. They were supposed to give us a more permanent comfortable room upstairs but they was no room for us so we had to stay in this other room so they didn't have bath stuff. So they just brought me in this little basin and some wash clothes and soap. WHich was fine I would make it work. So they were planning on us just doing like a bed bath, but I just could get real good in all of her cracks and creveses so I just stripped her down and plunked her in this basin. She so did not fit. She lost some good weight this last 2 weeks but not enough to fit in this basin. Me and Todd were laughing hysterically. She on the other hand did not find it the least bit amusing. Oh so sad to say but it really was funny. Marlee I am so sorry you had to take a bin bath but hopefully no more of those!

I'm so glad that she is doing better. Poor little thing. Marlee looks so much like Todd! little twins. Glad things are going better for you.
I'm so glad that you have your baby back home!!!
I love the picture of her taking a "bath." What a cutie pie! Your husband looks really good in that first picture too ;)
Seriously call me if you need anything!!! I will even come do your laundry. I like you that much!
The picture in the basin is so cute. I can't believe you got her to fit as good as you did. I hope she is feeling better.
