Tonight we did our yearly visit to the Florida Hospital to drop off cookies and cupcakes to the nurses, doctors and staff in the NICU. This has become a precious tradition in our family. Before we left we got out a photo album and tried to explain everything to Payton. She was very interested this year and was curious about the photos with the tubes in her mouth and thought it was funny that she was wearing a diaper. When we went into the NICU Payton handed the nurses her thank you letter and the treats and they were very excited to talk to us. A couple of them said they remembered Jonathon (they should as much as he bugged them ;). We told them that she had PPHN and they were very impressed to see how healthy and beautiful she was. One of the nurses said that PPHN is a teeter totter and you never know which way it will go... I of course was glad it went the way it did. We are forever grateful for how great the staff took care of our little angel!

Me and the kiddies.
Behind me and Payton is the window we looked in every time we would go into the NICU. We would always peak through the blinds since she was really close to the window. One day we went to look in it and she was not there (a very exciting moment) because she was upgraded to a less risk level in the NICU.
