Sad to say, this is the first time in 3 weeks I've been able to sit down at the computer to blog. What a fabulous Christmas we had. Tanner being home was the best gift we could have ever asked for. There were some days at UCSF I doubted it would ever happen. It's scary when I think back to all those days in the hospital; the poking, crying (both of us!) and how we made it through. Never an experience I want to repeat. And as hard as we've worked to be back to normal...we all get those flashbacks...for example, Tanner cut his foot yesterday and SCREAMED bloody murder putting on a bandaid because he saw the blood. Not to mention, I got light headed too... But it's the constant reminder of taking things slow, one day at a time and just hoping for the best. He even got a fever night before last...and I panicked thinking we would be back at UCSF...but it broke naturally and Tanner was eating, running, pooping like normal the next day! His own body took care of the germ...hopefully...He still needs to go to the pediatrician for a well check. Our cardiology appointment on the 21st went PERFECT...no drainage, low blood pressure, and 96 O2 levels. PERFECT. Now we don't have to go back for 3 months.
We put away our Christmas tree today, because if you even gave a sideway glance to it...it shed about 800 needles. Time to go. But the house is in nice order. Mark and I spent Christmas Eve hanging decorations and shelves and got the last boxes OUT. We only have family photos left to hang! Yipee! It FINALLY feels like home! Mark's parents bought us the Wii for Christmas and My mom got us the Wii fit, so we've been having LOTS of FUN together as a family bowling, exercising, and laughing. Courtney is amazing at bowling, it's either a strike or spare each turn! And Tanner has a cute throw...and loves doing the down-hill ski slope. So cute to watch. Mackenzie and Callahan are working up a sweat and counting calories...then ask Mark for ice-cream. Gotta love them!
