Big day in the life of...

 So, yesterday was a big day for Miss B.  The night prior, she had pulled out her O2 supplemental feed tube and slept the whole night with it out.  

OMG! Isn't that dangerous, juvat? Probably, that's why there's a sensor that is attached to her that measures her blood oxygen saturation level.  That alarm starts beeping when it gets  90% or lower.  

Never beeped even once.  Now, we're not suggesting that we be over and done with the supplemental oxygen, rather that maybe we can start some kind of controlled weaning schedule.  Getting her off supplemental oxygen has a few good points.  First, she doesn't need to have a extra large scuba oxygen bottle attached to her at all times.  Second, when off, she and her mother can rejoin with Little J on a more permanent basis.  

Which will do all three an awful lot of good.

So, fingers crossed for the next pulmonologist visit.  (Interesting, Blogger squiggle lined pulmonologist and after googling the word, I spelled it right the first time.  Guess Blogger hasn't had a preemie grand child yet.  Not that I'd wish that on even them.)

But, back to yesterday.  Went to church as usual although we went to the 9AM mass.  We usually go to the 7:30 Mass as they don't have a lot of time to reset everything between the two masses.  Keeps the Priest from getting too loquacious.  Not that he does that, no.  Not more than 98% of the time.  

And he did it again yesterday at the 9.  See, we had something very special scheduled for 10:15.

 Miss B's baptism.

Nice ceremony,  I was a little nervous as the Deacon that did the service has a habit of giving off a Southern Baptist Tent Revival Preacher (not that there's anything wrong with that!) act during Mass.

Here, he was laid back and funny.  Moved us Grand Parental folks around so we'd get  better photos of the event.

He gave a short sermon on what the three sections of the Baptism represented.  Those were Oil, Water and Light. Water is a symbol of divine life, grace, new birth, growth, power, deliverance, cleansing and the covenant. Oil is used twice and represents salvation and the strength and power that come from Christ.  After the water is poured, Sacred Chrism anoints the crown of the head  representing salvation, participation in the priesthood of Christ, membership in the body of Christ and a share in eternal life. The candle is lit from the Easter Candle and represents the light of the World.  Jesus.

Mom, Dad and the Godfather.

Both Mom and Dad got their own blessing.

MBD and my other two grandkids were there for the ceremony.  Here's a picture of the threesome.

Brother/Cousin to be is still in hiding.  Will make his Grand Entrance late October.

All in all, a Great morning.  All is good in my world for now.

Peace out y'all.
