Weve officially been home from Liam's 6th hospital stay a whole week now!!! It's been both a blessing and a curse. We depserately needed time as a family at home. Both Liam and I needed Lanie more than words could express. She makes us laugh and tells us "everythings going to be fine". She like the shinning sun in the sky, burning bright and unignorable where as Liam is more like the stars, twinkling suttely. We have yet to take him to church, or anywhere else for that matter because we are so scared he's going to catch something and end up back in the hospital. I know your not supposed to live your life in fear, but this is more like being careful for Liam's sake. He needs to stay home so we can get a physical therapist out to work with him as well as move back into town. Being home has been a blessing because Lanie has kept us smiling and laughing. I missed her so much while we were stuck in the hospital and she wasnt even allowed to visit. We'e been able to get a few things done like looking for a place in town, getting moving boxes, have Bright Start out to work with Liam, and get the corract feeding pump for Liam for starters. A curse of sorts because we are pretty much confined inside, haven't been able to do any realy visiting with family or friends. I am still glad to be at home. It been an interesting week with the kids. Liam's been learning new things everyday and becomming more active again. Liam has also been teething, which hasn't been very fun for any of us. He's been getting really cranky and fussy right before his breathing treatments were due and were thinking he was struggling to breathe because he was better after his treatments. Weve been checking his sats with the pulse ox I bought off ebay and he hasnt satted any lower than 93% everytime we've checked. As of yesterday afternoon he's been alittle less cranky. He had coughed up a wad of mucus and I think thats what he needed. Some days seem really good and others no so much....
Liam's Froggy Face:
One minute he's happy and playing:
And the next he's crying (hehehe blackmail for when he grows up):
Teething is a huge contributor:
And he chews on EVERYTHING:
He plays tricks on us, like purposely dropping his paci out of the crib then crying until he sees you above him then he laughs at you...cought in the act:
He's not even ashamed:
Lanie has been such a big helper trying to keep her brother happy:
"Reading" him books, she has a picture perfect memory, remembers the story compared to the pics:
Sometimes Liam listen, sometimes he doesnt:
But it doesn't stop Lanie from trying to entertain us:
Today has been a better day. Liam has been playing in his crib and has been mostly happy:
He looks so cute in the outfit Kristen and Reba got him for the baby shower:
We can't get over the odd way he twist his legs:
Liam's not the only one that twist weird ways:
But we love him too:
Liam has been a silly boy today:
Ill take smiles any day:
Being by the open door was the closets thing to going outside he was getting today:
Lanie however had a blast outside soaking up sun and driving her jeep:
I have been able to get a few bows made this last week, something that I havent been able to do in awhile:
The best part of the last few days though has been reading to both my kids. Yesterday we ready 'Bicycle for sale' and 'Hello Baby'. Today so far we've read 'Mickey Mouse and the pet show' and 'White Rabbit's Color Book'.
And we're so very happy that spring is here:
God is good and has blessed us
