It’s been a bit! Updates seem to get cyclical….a couple really good days that keep us feeling hopeful, a whole lot of typical days with a lot of sleep, therapies and appointments and it seems since the Oct discharge, more worse than normal days where we’re feeling concerned as we watch Tate’s baseline worsen, we work harder to keep her home and out of the hospital and pray her body can fend off whatever it is it’s battling. That’s where she’s sitting again.
But…for the fun stuff….Grandma Sandy is still with us. Other than a little fall and some eyebrow jewelry, we’re enjoying extra Christmas movies and doggie snuggles and Tate has an afternoon napping partner and I have a morning coffee companion. We’re loving the extra Grandma time.
Tim took Tate to her IVIG infusions last week while Keira and I caught up with my SIL Helen and niece, Hailey. Tate got to join us after. Cups filled.
And we even saw Tate and Tim’s names on the big screen as they had bit parts in a movie a director from our church produced called Our Church Thinks We’re Dating. Tate squeezed in a movie night to see Wicked with her sweet friends and our house looks like Christmas early! Because….we’ve spent too many in the hospital, so we want to soak it all in!
Lots to be grateful for amidst the challenges as we head into this Thanksgiving week. Squeeze the ones you love extra tight.
