I know I said I was going to take a few days off from posting but I changed my mind. I just wanted to reflect on the dinner I had last night. Every Tuesday a free dinner is provided for the families who have children in the icu. The dinner is donated by a restaurant,…

Tiara update 1/27/14
Today hasn’t gone as well as expected. Before rounds last night Tiara spiked a fever and they said she couldn’t have Motrin because of her kidney issues and the blood thinners. This really upset me because Tylenol does nothing to help her fevers. Then the docs decided she didn’t need her lasix drip any more,…
Update on Tiara 1/25/14
Let me start by saying that if you want more current updates on Tiara please feel free to friend request me on Facebook(tiffani Whitaker goff) I tend to update my personal page more than anything else. Now for the update. Friday afternoon we decided she was struggling too hard to breathe so they intubated…
This whole thing sucks!
Not really in the mood to blog but I know so many of you care about Tiara, so here is the update. Just met with the doctors for rounds and they said her lungs are almost whited out like last March and she is getting sicker. They would like to intubate her now but will…
In the ICU again…
As you all know I’ve mentioned Tiara was getting sick but she was holding her own. All day Tuesday she was fine until he went to pick up Trinity at school. We are waiting in the pick up line for Trinity when all of a sudden she started wheezing. She never wheezes! I got super…
A day of destruction….
Yesterday while Tiara was lounging around the house trying not to get sicker, she managed to break 3 major items, all of which I love. The first was a big tall vintage blue vase that sits on my TV console along with 2 others. To be honest it is a miracle they have been there…
I’m half done!
As you can see I decided to change my blog theme today, but I am not totally done. To be honest, I am far from done, but it was pretty painless which is beyond exciting. Total miracle. I realized how much I have learned in the past 2 years as I start this transition today. …
It cost more, but was it worth it?
Do you ever wonder if the more expensive product is really that much better than the cheaper/generic version? Since I am always on a budget, I don’t really spend on expensive products except for my face. In my opinion there is no way a drug store cream could be as good as one from the…
She did it!
Sorry for my lapse in posting yesterday but I was too grumpy, anxious and irritable to write anything decent. I was feeling very uncreative and not passionate about anything except complaining. I hate when I start complaining. It feels so bad to be so negative. I kept telling Lou paperwork was getting the best of…
Do people really like this weather?
I hate to complain when people on the east coast just dealt with the “polar vortex” issue but really, I HATE the SANTA ANA WINDS. I have hated them my whole life, and nothing has changed. As a child I always remember them showing up during the first week of school. I would be excited…
