We pulled into our parking lot at 4pm Tuesday afternoon. What a relief! I love being back with my two boys. Matt and I caught up on our sleep yesterday, and this morning I went on a run. Everything is starting to get back to normal. (And college football starts tonight. Awesome!) Though we were only gone two weeks, it felt like months and months. Isaac has grown up so much. Talking more and taking on more responsibility--he love the little jobs we give him. Eli is adjusting well. He is still on oxygen, and probably will be for a while. His naps and nights are starting to get better. Everything looks as good as we can hope. He is probably going to be house bound for the next little bit as he heals, but I don't think he minds.



Thanks to:
- Our parents. For taking care of us, and Isaac. We know we can always count on yall.
- Ashley&Dave. Babysitting! For dates, Eli appointments--you guys always pull through.
- Family. For all who have prayed for us and sent us blessings, near and far. From Florida to Canada, we have felt your prayers.
- Friends. FRIENDS! Thank you so much for helping me (us) through my lows and highs. I have been very stressed since Eli was born, dreading this surgery. But all of yall have stuck with me, talked with me, and supported me through this.
- Our Ward (church congregation). Thank you for all who participated in the ward Fast and Prayer for us and the other family.
- Primary Children's Medical Center Team. What can I say? You guys saved our little boy for us. We will forever be in debt to you. Thanks to the doctors and surgeons, the nurses, and the volunteers. You guys are tip-top.
- Ronald McDonald House. What a wonderful place! For taking the burden of figuring out a place to stay, what to eat, where to do laundry. Thank you, thank you.
