Snuggling with my baby. I was trying to convince him snuggling on my bed was a good way to take a nap, but he had other opinions. Sweet baby. He just finished eating an entire jar of bananas with a spoon! Apparently I might start ordering him food of the puree menu. He did throw up his meds again this morning, though, but the banana has stayed down... Knock on wood. I am so grateful he has been happier this morning. He had a rough week. I was so grateful I was able to go home... this weekend and recharge. I REALLY needed it. Words cannot express how grateful I am for my kind, amazing, supportive husband who stayed with Parker all weekend and does so much for all of us during the week, this little baby, my amazing kids, my wonderful mom who has been here going on 4 weeks , the amazing support network of family, church, friends and neighbors, and the assurance from my God that everything will be fine. We can do this. We can do hard things. "I never told you it would be easy, I only told you it would be worth it." "Be still and know that I am God."

    Love you Swenson family!

    Erica Shurtz Isom Hang in there Ashley!

    Melody Clayton Are they pain meds? Meds make me really sick too. Smart boy! I give Jayce a spoon and he scoops it then grabs it off the spoon with his other hand!

    Marissa Jensen Kaplan The swelling looks as though it's gone down a bit, I hope that it has! We love you!

    Kelley Drury Birrell So sweet! I LOVE these pics, Ash!

    Abby Schulz Stephens This is so sweet. I'm grateful he's on the path to recovery.

    Amy Ward Is the fluid reabsorbing? It looks smaller. Being held by his mama has got to be the best therapy! Thinking of you xoxo
