Day 38, Saturday

Basically we are all still happy to just be out of the hospital.  Yesterday, Sierra had her IV treatment and did well. She has one more IVIG treatment before her biopsy in 10 days.  After her treatment we went up to 3 West to say hi.  It's weird how much we all miss those 3 West nurses and staff.  They were such a huge part of our lives for over 8 months. So many life changing memories up there, (and lets keep them there). 

Sierra is talking tomorrow in Church and seems like she is prepared. She is speaking on how she stays spiritually and emotionally strong in a hospital setting.

Last night and today we have had quite a treat. Kade, Stephanie, Wyatt, and Tristen came by for a visit. They are from Adrian, Oregontheir daughter Tristin who was born with 1/2 a heart.  They have been back in Oregon since late October and have been doing great! Cute little Tristen has a non-emergency procedure Monday to fix some stuff.  It's complicated and I don't know how to explain it. They are doing great and it was really nice to visit with them.  They will be here a few days before heading back.

We did a lot of activities today we could only dream about 39 days ago. We couldn't even comprehend doing what we did today.  So what did we do? The same thing many others did today. This morning we walked down to Stanford West, a small park down the road, and went to a Easter egg hunt. Kids had fun and we met some nice people. I then got some work done while Stacy and the kids played and cleaned up around the house. At 2:30 we met up with Kade and Stephanie and went to a church activity at the Dains.  All the kids had a great time.  Afterwards we drove out to Portola Valley park and played around for awhile.  This evening, we left all the kids with Kade and Steph, and Stacy and I went out.  It was just nice. There is no way we could have done any of this (with a clear conscience) if our little Princess was hooked to the Berlin.  We are still counting our blessings.

Heading home for another week of work.  I am able to get work done here, but during tax season I just need to be in my office in Oregon. Going back and forth seems to be working well.

I'm so happy things have gone so well for Lindsey! It's so good to see her without the Berlin and out with friends and family - praying for a steady and speedy recovery! God bless you all!

Those are some fun pictures. Great to see things turning to a little more normal Saturday. However, something does not quite seem right - no white stuff? no mud? no coats? (It was a chilly 10 degrees here this morning).
Good luck with this next week. Here is hoping to great IVIG results.
