Tired, but HOME

One of the things we have never had to deal with before now is having another child to care for while Elijah spends time in the hospital. Thankfully, Dan's wonderful parents took Sammy overnight so we both could spend time with Elijah. We got home around 10:00 last night and had kind of a restless night of sleep. I tried to put Elijah in our bed with us, but it just didn't work. After 150 kicks to the ribs, I asked Elijah if he wanted to go to his own bed. "Yes." I was in his bedroom every 30-60 minutes after that, rubbing his back because he was either yelling for me or yelling at his cough. "Go away, COUGH!"

We are all tired today. All of us except for Sam, that is. The boys just went down for a nap, so Dan and I might try to get a nap in, too.

Thanks so much for all of the supportive comments and prayers and emails. Wow! We have an amazing support system and we are so thankful for it!
