Now, I know that I said it's nice to take it day by day and have the days go slow - but wow.... today was just too slow! Especially for the amount of things we had going on.
Bob was removed successfully :)
Aine's check out from her home nurse was good - she seems to have a small amount of pus in the middle of her wound, but we are waiting to see what the surgeon has to say (she is due to have the sutures removed on Thursday, but Aine is growing pretty rapidly and they seems to possibly causing some of the issues??)
Liam was woke up on the wrong side of the bed after nap so he was very sensitive - forgetting that I told him his dad would be home when he woke up & that Aine's nurse would also be there when he woke up so he didn't know how to react.
Two got the all clear today to do normal activities, so that is another good thing.
Now... It's time for the kids to enjoy a restfull night and wake up in a good mood.

Day to Day
We seem to take our lives day to day at this point. It really does make the time go slightly slower & more enjoyable - that is, until you reach your boiling point :)
As you know for the most part this weekend has been a good one. Family & Friends always makes it good. But as the weekend has been wrapping up, we are seeing all the yuckies that we didn't want to see.
Liam is worried about his daddy "going to sleep" (Shawn is having "bob" removed tomorrow) and since the only thing Liam knows is that when the Dr makes you "go to sleep" you don't come home FOR A LONG TIME he doesn't want Shawn to go & because of this his tummy hurt & I'm thinking he actually made himself sick (Literally)
Aine however we are thinking is really sick. We're not sure if she has a type of flu or a GI bug so we are just limping through it.
I am just.... tired. I will be happy when Shawn is home allowing both him & Liam to feel better and when Aine is feeling better.
On the plus side, we got the tree up in the living room & decorated. Liam's tree is up in his room awaiting to be decorated.
Oh yeah - for those that don't know bob - bob is shawn's other side - literally :) It is a huge cyst that was listed as a calcium deposit about 10 plus years ago and has over doubled in size in about the last 2 weeks.

The days after Thanksgiving
I'm not completely sure which is busier. The days leading up to Thanksgiving or the days after. I'm thinking the days after.
As you know we celebrated Turkey day after a short visit to the ER. After the festivities ended and the kids were in bed I headed out to do some shopping. I got two stores done before going to Target.
After I picked out my 2 items that I was planning on getting I realized how LONG the line was & immediately decided it wasn't worth the wait and I headed out. We spent the rest of the day ust bumming around and not really doing anything.
Aine "ate" some carrots with us at the dinner table last night and was having a good time until she got them in her eyes. Poor girl.
Today my sister, brother-in-law and their boys came down. My sister and I took some mommy time and went to breaking dawn Part 1. It was a lot of fun & I can't wait to see the next one - which I found out... will not be out until next November! So, to tide me over, my sister is borrowing me her series so I can read the books and find out what happens before then.
Shawn has Liam at the store with him & then we will start setting the trees and christmas decorations up.

HAPPY THANKGIVING!!!!!!!
Even though the day started out kinda iffy - it ended Great!
Aine and I ended up in the ED because her incision site decided to come open a little so we needed to go have it checked out. Luckily by the time we had gotten there it had gotten better, not worse - she didn't have a fever - and was happier than when left home so we got to go home :)
By the time we got home Liam "woke up" (he never went to sleep), was reading with grandpa grandpa Casey and just plain having a good time. Aine decided that she didn't need to sleep either & tried Very hard to remain awake - that lasted abotu 30 minutes and she couldn't hold out any longer.
We had a really good meal, laughs, and good times.
We have so much to be thankful for - not just the family that we were blessed to be with tonight, but all of the family we have no matter where they are currently, our friends, the medical staff that works so hard to help keep our daughter healthly, and the list goes on longer than I can list.
So - that being said, thanks again for being there for us & HAPPY THANKSGIVING - shall we all be blessed with at least something to be thankful for every day of our lives!

So Very Blessed
Sometimes the simpliest things can make me take a step back and realize how truely blessed we really are - I mean in everyway.
While Liam and I were grocery shopping the other week he saw a pumkpin light that he really wanted. I got it for him & he has since been playing with it. Well,, last night before Shawn tucked him in and read him a story, Liam asked if he could bring this pumkpin to bed with him. After Liam's cute look - Shawn agreed with the understanding that Liam would NOT turn the pumpkin on.
Now, I didn't go to bed until close to midnight & Liam was still up in his bed - staring at this pumpkin & Still had NOT turned the silly thing on ONCE! We decided that it would be best praise him for listening & following direction than allowing him to turn it on behind our backs. I went in to tell him that he could turn it on & he told me he broke it & asked if I could fix it with tape. I did & told him he could turn it on - he was in seventh heaven watching the lights spin & I was on cloud nine reflecting on this glorious time of trust from a 2 year old.
I hope this is a view into future!
Love you my Precious Prince & Princess!

Teething!!
It's official!!
Our home nurse has confirmed that there are little chicklettes coming through!
So far they are rearing themselves on the bottom, and confirmation of the top have not been made - so soon - there will no longer be pictures of a toothless little girl.
Here's hoping she's NOT a biter :)

Enjoying Being Home
So,
As I expected - we are just enjoying being home. It seems like it's been forever since the family has really been together. Because of this I have called a "mini vacation". Since we can't leave the house, this really just entails no schedule, "just playing", "I'm too Buzy" (from the mouth of my Mr. Liam), and just plain enjoying our time together.
The kids are doing well and Aine iss healing more everyday. We still have to neb her, but that seems to be getting better day by day also as she is getting more up at one time, but less often (maybe she's figuring out the whole coughing thing).
We think that Aine may be getting her bottom teeth as her mouth started bleeding at the hospital and they found a cut on the inside of her lip but we couldn't figure out why. Well, it happened again yesterday and boy was she upset about it. I tried to feel for a tooth, but she was NOT having it - so I have to leave it to my imagination. Funny thing is, that we can only assume that she has had chest pain all her life but the whole mouth thing seems bother her more than her chest, stomach gas, IVs, everything. Silly girl!
