Jodie Means Grace of God: Weeks 12 Back to Hospital...Neumonia

My Face may be different, but my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry, and I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you, to teach you to love
As God in the heavens, looks down from above
To Him I am no different, His love know no bounds
Its those here among you, in cities and towns
That judge me by standards that man has imparted
But this family I have chosen will help me get started
For I'm one of the children, so special and few
That came here to learn the same lessons as you
That love is acceptance it must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose, though not the same start
The Lord gave me life, to live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do but at my own pace

Weeks 12 Back to Hospital...Neumonia

Week 12 started off with Jodie struggling to breathe. On Sunday night my hubby and I rushed her off to casualties and she was admitted, the dreaded neumonia again. So... another 10 days in hospital. During this time we did a milk scan which showed Jodie was not aspirating but just normal reflux. We also did a barium swallow which confirmed the milk scan results. Was she still aspirating? Well the doc says the nissen stitches are completely loose and her reflux is still severe but he does not think that the fluid is going to her lungs.
