Getting back to life

From our CaringBridge site:

Let's begin with an edit from last night's entry! The Steven's came by with yummy dinner for us last night. We were talking about The Hatton's and they were stuck in my brain!


We got a deliver of delicious cookies from The Hatton's today and they were definintly made with love! Brady is doing so well with walking and coordination. Coming home has made all the difference for that. He is a bit emotional because of the steriod he is still taking but with his last dose being tomorrow morning that should subside in about a week. He has been eating everything in sight. We have to really be careful what we are allowing him to consume since he is on the mend. He complains some when I tell him no snacks just fruit and veggies, but he eats them anyway! I am trying to take advangtage of his eating right now to introduce him to other healthy things he normally wouldn't have eaten.

I actually got out of the house this morning to take Angelina to see Dr. Hunt her optomologist. She missed an appointment last week with all the chaos so getting her back on track and ready to hit the road to Houston. I stopped by to see my long time friend Michelle DiCola and get a hug from her. I don't get to see her very often so I was impressed with myself that I remembered we were in her neighborhood and could stop by. She always knows just what to say and has a huge hug waiting.

Debbie Barnes and her daughter, April, came by the house today for a visit. Larry and I haven't seen them in such a long time, it was really good to hug their necks! Thank you Debbie for your generosity and sweet well wishes. We appreciate you more than I have words for!

I am in the process of many things right now, one of which is to get Brady set up with Physical Therapy. I am hopeful tomorrow I will be able to get an appointment for a therapist to visit here in our home. Cross your fingers for me please!

I have been praying more than usual these days and more specifically as well. I really feel like God is helping Larry and I stay positive and strong for our little man and really guiding our decisions. I say that because of the decisions we have made none have left a lingering feeling of doubt, so that is really comforting to me. He is putting people in our lives that we need right now and making it possible for our close family members to be able to attend to all of us right now. I am so very thankful for all of this. I really feel that God has Brady wrapped up in his arms right now and will hold him close throughout all of the radiation and possible chemotherapy he'll endure. He's a tough kid and I am so blessed to be his Mommy!
