My View From the Week

Sundays

I am sitting in Nana and Papa's living room and these are the photos coming through. Papa has locked the kids in the bathroom. Or maybe the kids locked Papa in? Hmmm.

Grandma Stickers

What happens when Maddy gets stickers from Grandma?

She puts them on her face and takes photos of course!

Drained

This week has been one of the toughest! We started with surgery, a trip to the ER with a fever of 105 for Reed, and ended with a five-day stomach virus for Maddy. We made it! I sure hope this next week goes smoother.

One thing this week from heck has showed me though? That we are surrounded by the most caring wonderful people anyone could ask for. From my midnight texts of worry, to sleepovers at Mimi's, Saturday nights with Nana and Papa, to the flowers, words of encouragement, and love we felt. Thank you.

In better news, Grandma and Grandpa have retired! Woohoo.

Easter Friends

The Bunny stopped by Nana and Papa's. Lots of eggs and prizes and clothes! And guess what...

Life size Elsa!!!!

Day 2- candy, toenails, and fevers

Reed and Ray got home from the hospital last night at 2 am after Reed spiked a 105-degree fever. Probably just a virus, but he is pretty miserable. 

Things are even more complicated with my lack of mobility. Which brings me to how Maddy has completely taken advantage of the fact I can't move. I have all my nails painted.

So today we are celebrating Jesus, chocolate, toenails, and fevers.

Also, a very special Happy Anniversary to Nana and Papa. 18 years!

Post Surgery Day 1

I wore my Addie tshirt the night before to help me feel brave. I think it worked.

Surgery went great. There were a few issues he saw once he got in and he fixed them!

Today is much more painful. I feel pretty beaten up, and in a lot of discomfort. 

But, I have excellent nurses. 

Here's to every day getting better.
