Still here




The kids just stared at him at first. It was probably the most still I have seen them....EVER!


The girls drew some pictures to hang in his room. So cute!

Well, he is still in the hospital. Yuck, I know! He did have his barium swallow test today and it went good, looks like the tear is healed because they didn't find any leaks! The setback is that he has spiked a fever and they think his left chest cavity is infected, ON TOP of finding out today that the reason his right chest has been hurting so bad is because his lung is partially collapsed! That would explain why it has hurt him so bad to even breathe! I feel so bad for him, he has yet to get to the point where he actually has started feeling better. I took the kids up to the hospital last night and we got to visit for about 20 min in the waiting room (no kids aloud on the patients floors). The twins were really funny, asking a million questions about every single tube and wire they could see. Brigham kept telling him "Dad, dad, I like your water. You have water dad, I like it." We were cracking up. Brigg wanted to sit on his lap the whole time Brinley kind of kept her distance at first. Leaving was the hard part; Emberlyn burst into tears and Brinley screamed ALL the way home because she was so mad about leaving. It was good for them to see that he is up and around and somewhat ok. He's a trooper and is keeping a good attitude about everything. We really miss him here though, can't wait for him to come home!!
