  • With a number dip this morning, I thought for sure we were another night. And after a sleepless night, I was grumpy and sad about the idea of another night away from home. ▫️ But Marjorie being her miraculous self, said nope. Numbers went back and stayed at normal. Doctors rounded and said GO HOME! ▫️ Best. News. Ever. ▫️ A million thanks to the extraordinary people at @wolfsonchildren for saving our girl...AGAIN! We love y’all, but it’s time to GEAUX! ▫️ We still have a road of recovery to get her strength back. But doctor said it is better to do that at home and we agree! ▫️ Thank you for ALL the love, prayers and messages! You carried us through!! For all those who wanted to send Marjorie something, please consider donating a toy to your local hospital or stay tuned for the pay it forward PICU toy drive Marjorie and I are cooking up! But first...this momma needs a shower and a nap! ▫️ Can’t wait to get home and see my Manning!!! 💕💕💪💪 . . . . . #miraculousmarjorie #peaceout #smallbutmighty #sonotexpected #surprise #goodbye #welltakeit #missmyboy #pnemoniapickedthewronggirl #grateful #payitforward #pediatrichospital #jacksonville #florida
  • Big day in the PICU! Our warrior did two laps around the halls. Don’t let the concerned face fool you, she was mad they made her wear the “ugly” hospital robe. ▫️ Marjorie cruised the halls with ease and little support! Plus, her numbers remained stable! ▫️ She also got the green light to eat!! While she wanted sushi 🍣, she settled for all the snacks. Hope @wolfsonchildren has snack reserves! ▫️ Prayers that we get moved to a regular room! This momma is tired of the PICU fishbowl! ▫️ Thanks for the prayers! They are clearly working!!! 🎀🙌💕 . . . . . #miraculousmarjorie #picu #pneumonia #smallbutmighty #onthemend #walkinglaps #hospitalfashion #notformarjorie #allthesnacks #readytogohome #missingmymanning #momlife #motherhood #exhausted #jacksonville #florida
  • She sat in her royal chair with sparkle shoes, pointing her finger and directing me all. day. long. And I could not be happier! ▫️ It was a fantastic day here in the PICU with my main girl. Marjorie worked hard in PT and OT. We still have some hurdles, but today I am thankful. 💕 ▫️ Update on the blog // link in profile 💕💕💪💪🦄🦄 . . . . . #miraculousmarjorje #pneumoniapickedthewronggirl #picu #wolfson #smallbutmighty #wevegotthis #momlife #proudmom #daughter #fighter #fightlikeagirl #jacksonville #florida
  • That look when you finally bust out of your scuba 🤿 mask and can start plotting your first meal in four days 🍟 🍿 🍦🌮🍩🥙🌭 So proud of my girl! It’s been a great day with a big step in the right direction. ▫️ Since removing the scuba gear, her stats have remained great on the hi-flow nose cannula. Once we get her down a bit on the flow, she can start having sips of water and then on to food. So we have a day or so before we are eating, but don’t doubt she is talking up a storm about what’s on the menu! ▫️ More to come later, but could not wait to share our happy news! Overjoyed to finally see my girls beautiful face and smile and cover it in kisses!!! 🎀🌈💪💕 . . . . #miraculousmarjorie #byebyebipap #hellonosecannula #readytoeat #talkingupastorm #soproud #proudmom #wolfsonwarrior #picu #jacksonville #florida
  • Day 3️⃣ ▫️ Started with rest and hope and ending exhausted, but grateful. ▫️ Got a full 30-minute of rocking my baby girl. She had her bestie JoJo help her through the PICC line procedure and received an Anna doll from our extraordinary horse Jenna. ▫️ There were highs and lows. Anger and tears. But my nerves are settling as I find the gratitude and light in each day. ▫️ Fired up the blog for the full report on the last few days. // Link in profile // 💕💕💕💪💪 . . . . . #miraculousmarjorie #roundthree #piccline #hardday #findthelight #gratitude #cancersurvivor #micropreemie #wecandohardthings #again #prayersup #pneumonia #wolfsonwarrior #savingourgirlagain #picu #jacksonville #florida
