Who doesn't like FREE?

Okay, first of all, I'm happy to announce the my niece Marley is home from the hospital and all is well. They linked the apnea to the UTI and told them anytime she gets any infection, she needs to be brought in and monitored for the apnea. Fun times ahead! SO GLAD she is doing better! Reason to celebrate!

Also celebrating, is Close To My Heart...25 years of great products! And the great thing is, you get the gift! With every $25 stamp purchase, you get an ADORABLE stamp set FREE. Looks like this:

Marley Mae

My niece, Marley, has been hospitalized since Saturday when she was feverish and cyanotic (just her lips were blue--does that word still apply?) Anyhoo the docs at Mammoth Hospital discovered she had sleep apnea and a UTI. The apnea would cause her resp. rate to tank at any given time as low as 8 breaths per min. (wikipedia says optimum resp. rate for an infant is 20-40 bpm)

They put her on antibiotics for the UTI and kept monitoring her breathing until they could get her transfered to a Children's Hospital with a specialist is apnea.

So finally, yesterday, after MUCH anticipation, they got transfered to Children's Hosp. in Orange Co. and were running some tests last night, including a sleep study and and ECHO. I'm anxiously waiting to hear any news...
