Well, last night we decided to come home and spend the weekend with Kaden and Jonas. Marnie stayed at the hospital with Lucas. My mom is staying with him tonight. What a blessing it is to have such a support system. Anyway, we took the boys to see Ice Age 3 today and it was cute. The boys loved it of course because it had dinosaurs in it. We also went to lunch at Red Robin and then ran a few more errands. It was nice to just spend time as a family again. But there was a void there without Lucas. I would look back and see his car seat just empty. Even though it was a fun day, my mind wasn't far from the hospital. Aaron could tell something was bothering me and I kept reassuring him that everything was fine, I just missed our little guy. We bought some kid friendly fire works for tomorrow night and can't wait to take them to see the show at Thanksgiving Point. It's a tradition we do every year and the boys are really excited. I did let them crack into their pop it's tonight. They loved it!!! Well, it's past 11:00 pm and so I should probably retire for the night. Just a note to all of you who have sent us cards recently with words of comfort we thank you. One day at a time. I want to cherish every moment I have with those that I love. Happy 4th everyone...

I am glad you guys were able to get out for a bit. When our little one was at Primary Children's for 10 days, we got stir-crazy and were able to escape for a few hours. I can't tell you how good it felt to get back into a normal world. We too felt we couldn't be gone for to long, and were thinking how Teague was doing back at the hospital.
ReplyDeleteAaron and Shannon, I read your blog all the time, and can't believe how similar your story is to ours. Teagu too needed a feeding tube, and yep, he hated it as well. Please let us know what we can do to help you guys. We were in your place not even 2 months ago.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call us. Shannon, from reading your Blog, your doing a fantastic job with everything. Aaron, keep up the good work!
Take care, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
