Home recovering....

We spent a lot of yesterday just trying to get rest. We are exhausted. After Gracelyn and I woke up from a long nap (my boys were out playing), the first thing I wanted to do was get us cleaned up and not smelling like the hospital. My mom came and took care of her so that I could get showered. It was so nice to be able to have someone else be able to hold her without her crying. She can't be bathed for about 6 weeks, so before I gave her a sponge bath I spent a good half an hour removing all the adhesive from her. She looks and smells much better now.

My dad and Jeff spent the afternoon setting up a playhouse/swing set so that when other kids come over we can send them and Mr. C outside. I felt bad during the winter keeping other kids out and not letting Mr. C have friends over to play. It helps that the weather is nice and we can send them outside, at least for awhile so that she can have a chance to heal without worrying about her getting sick. I am excited for him. I know he will love it.

Once it cooled down I took her out on the porch to enjoy the weather. She has always loved to be outside. Whenever she would get upset I could take her outside and she would calm down. You can tell how content she was by the picture.

I had a hard time sleeping last night. It was hard to sleep without her having the monitors on, warning us if something isn't right. However, she did great. She woke up at 5:00a.m. and let us know she wasn't feeling well. We gave her Tylenol and she slept for a few more hours. I know I keep mentioning it, but I just can't get over her pink cheeks. I love them! I am so happy to have her home! I've not been able to thank anyone individually yet, but want everyone to know how grateful we are for the support we get.
