I have not written much of late... Oops. We have been home almost one week. Several have asked how we are doing...and we just... are. :) It is hard to explain. It is so nice to be home and be together. Parts seen much easier, others have been harder. Some have been pretty entertaining like me spraying boost formula all over the wall and mirror within minutes of getting home. Some have been a bit scary like when his g tube became clogged outside at the girl's piano recital and he was crying and coughing and crying more and wouldn't settle down. Some have been great like when he slept 12 hours one night. I very much feel like I have a newborn and am purely amazed I get anywhere... let alone on time. We have spent a lot of time in the car going to therapies, evaluations and doctors apts.
Thank you to so many angels that have helped this week. Sweet people brought meals, sneaky ladies snuck in and cleaned my house the day before we came home, a good friend brought by a ton of paper plates, cups, bowls and silverware, play dates for my kids, carpools, picking up milk, standing in the long line at Costco to pick up pictures for me, Darrell put ALL the kids to bed one night so I could go to a girls night, phone calls, wonderful visits... And so much more. I am pretty spoiled rotten.
And I am so grateful.
It has been good. So good to be home. We have been living hour by hour. And that is okay. Eventually this will become the new normal, and in the meantime we are together and it is so good to be home.
And my mom and dad come this weekend. :)
Thank you for your prayers through this transition. We have truly felt surrounded by angels and so buoyed up. Thank you.
Thanks for updating. It does sound like a whirlwind of a week for you! You and Darrell seem to be handling it in stride. I wish I could sneak in your parents' suitcase and help! Your ward and neighbors sound awesome, though. I hope each week is better than the last. So glad you are all home. :)
