One week down, one to go!


Happy Monday Morning!


What a week it's been. After we returned home from the hospital, it took Tanner another 4 days to fully recover! His color (mild pink!) is back and we've been loading him up on calories so his cheeks are a bit fuller! But, we've been shut inside...trying to avoid all GERMS! At first, he was very clingy...wanting to be held and non-stop attention, but as the week went on, we built train tracks and then he would play while I did laundry and cleaned. We've had a lot of fun talking and feeding the ducks...just taking time to enjoy the little things. He's even been helping me do the dishes!


Sunday was Courtney's 5th birthday. Now, this was the same age Mackenzie was when we brought Courtney home. Just seems unreal. She wanted to know who was coming to her party and how many party hats we'd need...so as my heart was breaking...I had to explain to her that we'd have a party after Tanner's heart was fixed. She seemed okay with that...Ahhhh! We went to the party store and she picked out Tinkerbell decorations for the day. We couldn't find a Tinkerbell cake form...so she picked out the flower (pix above) and the colors. We had lots of fun coloring, doing puzzles and EATING CAKE! It was a fun day.


Mark's dad, Roger, got sick yesterday and after a trip to the hospital, has pneumonia in his left lung. He was sent home with antibiotics last night but is still running a fever today. We are waiting for news...we want him better! More news to follow...
We are counting down...we have to be at UCSF Sunday at 9:am...then surgery first thing Monday morning!
