[RSX3]

That's a tough effin' lesson to learn.

It is, it is.

Another complication?!?! @RSX3

 

[RSX3]

Although at this very moment it seems like a minute thing in my life as my daughter arrived several weeks early yesterday and is in the ICU with a breathing machine,IVs and feeding tubes hooked up to her to keep here oxygen levels up, so I don't know if I simply hit big ol' streak of bad luck or what but I'm walking on egg shells, like what's gonna happen next!? But anyhow this thread wasn't about telling everyone about my woes but for others that may find the project interesting. But non the less the project will probably be postponed a couple of weeks from what it originally was going to be!

Congratulations!!! Prayers sent for her speedy adjustment to life.

Congratulations on #DadLife! for the little one and your entire family sir! You’ll find this isn’t your average forum and we care about a lot more than about SxS’s around here. Take care of the family first. Please update us on the little ladies progress. The NICU is an amazing group of staff in several of our local hospitals and I imagine the same is true for yours. Blink or sneeze and she’ll be graduating Kindergarten. Have a cup of coffee and she’ll be graduating high school. It’s amazing how quickly they grow up. Enjoy every moment of it you can!

And remember they make them cute and cuddly when they are tiny so you remember those days when they are teenagers and you don’t have any hair left to pull out.

Seriously though for you and the family. Hang in there.

Congrats of the baby girl and I hope she pulls through as quick and safe as possible. She'll be home in no time I wouldn't stress the toy too much, it'll be there waiting for you when you're ready

prayers for you and your family........it will all be good!!!

Congrats on the baby!!! I have two daughters and they are both grown and have moved out, but they are still one of the best things that have happened in my life.
Hopefully yours comes home soon!!

Congrats on the baby girl & prayers for her to grow and thrive.
Our daughter was born 7 1/2 weeks early, spent the first 2 weeks in the baby toaster learning how to breath & eat. The first week they had to feed her with a tube. I can tell you it was scary and overwhelming. Keep the faith and be strong for your wife. Before you know it your new Little will be running around the house.

Wow, it seems so far away at this point but Im sure you are right! Just like yours would have been, she is laying there in the baby toaster with feeding tube, a couple IV needles in her and little heating pads and multiple sensors hooked up to her, just like she would be a part of the equipment! But thanks for sharing, it really does surprise me how many people have dealt with stuff like this once you start talking around.

Don't forget the jump start unit...LOL. When we brought her home from the hospital at just under 4lbs she had a combination heart/breathing monitor connected to her by wires. It basically looked like an old school jump start pack that had to be connected to her for a month....month & a half. She was so little her body would forget to breath and it would give an audible alarm to startle her. It would scare the sh*t out of us went it went off but every time it was just because a sensor had come off.

That same little girl is now 22, was the valedictorian of her HS and just graduated college a semester early.......guess she's always been in a hurry

Oh yah......and she absolutely thrashes the Donkey at RRB

I've looked at copart auctions with hopes of finding a Talon X4 cheap to fix up as a experimental/developmental unit. But after my father-in-law sunk his accidentally, was totaled and it then listed by Copart as " runs and drives", which it did NOT, I decided that route has way too many unknowns. There is one mad person out there that bought a Talon that does not run!

Well this project is still on hold but the daughter is improving, we are down to no oxygen, but still has a "high flow nose prong" helping push air into her airways. Wishful thinking she will be out by this weekend.

Prayers for strength for you and you little girl.
