Playing games with the boys. Noah took the picture, hence my head being cut off :)
Well, it is my first day on my own, and so far it is going quite well. We even were able to get some homeschooling done! Hopefully that will counterbalance the fact that the boys are upstairs playing gamecube right now, LOL.
We have our first of many various doctor's appointments today, this one being at the pediatrician. So, we will pack up the portable suction machine, monitor, go-bag, etc and head a whole quarter mile down the street to Alger Peds.
An update on the nursing situation: Thank God we have had pretty good nurses the last three nights. We have been able to sleep, and they have taken good care of Ellie. I still hate the idea of a stranger taking care of my daughter in my own house, but I'm sure they won't be strangers for long. We have also heard that there is a possibility that we could contract our own nurses, people we knew through friends and family. Now that would be ideal! So nurses, get your resumes ready :)
Please continue to pray for us. We are only surviving by your prayers and God's grace.
Love,
Emily
Praying that your appointment(s) go well. It's so good to see you all home together, but I also realize that your "normal" routine is going to take awhile to adust. May God be glorified through it all! Thanks for all the updates!

ReplyDeleteI've been computerless for over a week and thinking about you guys and wondering how everything was going. ITS SO GREAT to hear that Ellie is home and all is progressing will....
ReplyDeleteAdam & Emily - I have been away since little Ellie came home. I couldn't wait to read how the transition went for you. So thankful that it went so well. May God continue to shower you with his blessings and give you strength for each new day. We will pray that you will continue to have "good" nurses for Ellie. Loved your video. We pray for you daily.
ReplyDeleteYour 'routine' will slowly become normal and one day you won't even realize what life was like before all. Glad to hear that the nursing care has been ok, hopefull you will find a 'forever' nurse very soon!!!

I hope your day went well and know that although you will have your up and down days that I think you will have more up than down :o)

We recently switched to Alger Peds (kind of reluctantly) and have been really happy with our doc there. I hope it goes well for you. I can't wait to take pictures of your little cutie!!

ReplyDeleteDo you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and inceases the power of the weak.
We've been Alger Peds for 10 yrs.
