We are starting into a new routine. Lindsey has been doing really good. So nice to see her appetite coming back and asking us what is for dinner and how long she will have to wait. With the cannulas gone and the predisone on, her appetite is in the right direction.
Sierra is back at Jordan and seems to be getting back into the groove. Not sure if she is just telling us what we want to hear, but she is putting on a good show if she is not. We all enjoy going to Megan's basketball games. It makes it feel like we are doing something 'normal'. Sure nice to have our little Princess with us and not have to be rushing back to the hospital.
Had a good visit with Linds about her hospital stay. I was asking her if she wants to go over to 3 West to say hi to her friends. Interesting... she is not ready for that yet. She of course will say hi and would love to see her nurses, but to go to 3 West. NO not yet. That wasn't the answer I was expecting. I thought she wouldn't have a problem with it, but I guess being confined to a unit for almost 8 months, regardless of how well the nursing staff did (and they did a great job!!) she is not ready to return, not yet.
Lindsey still has daily dressing changes on her cannula sites. The drainage has gone way down. No more of that gusher action. Her blood pressures seem to be stable. Nothing like Sierra's blood pressures 6+ years ago.
I am still very busy with work. Working remotely is going well, but I am heading home next week for work. There are just too many big issues and big projects that need my attention. The office is doing great covering, but I just need to be there.
Basically, we are all good. No complaints here. Everything we have prayed for is right here.

So Awesome...such a relief! Very happy for you and your family and all those who have prayed for this day.
Fantastic!! So happy to see more of these days ahead of you!
Definitely love not seeing an update every day, BECAUSE that means that everything going well and there isn't alot of time to be spent typing on a computer or extra time for daily updates. All the time is spent doing things as a family, together, out of the hospital!! And that is definitely an answered prayer! Continued prayers for everything to continue to go well and for you all to return home to Oregon :)
Congratulations one and all! Glad all is going well, and hoping it stays that way. Best Wishes from The Swanson Family
Love that life is good for your family, as it's meant to be! We'll keep praying it stays that way :) God bless you all! M.
Sure can't place any blame for wanting to wait longer to head back to 3 West for a VISIT.... perhaps you will have to place a big emphasis on just a VISIT!!! :) I am sure the days are much lonelier for the staff without the Bingham Seven! But like us they will be praying and will be thankful for any visits they get! Keep going strong Bingham Seven, each of you continue to be a big inspiration to our lives. Thankful to hear regular daily routines are sinking in and EVERYONE is able to be involved... what an amazing blessing. Loves, hugs, and many prayers xoxoxoxo
