The Kind of Family We Are

Holly said Vicki had a fairly restful night following some nausea earlier in the evening. Aaron said she was “bright-eyed” this morning. She has a beautiful view from her hospital room so I’m sure she’s enjoyed watching the snow today. Aaron was able to feed her some breakfast this morning. She doesn’t really eat very much, but every little bit helps her strengthen the muscles she needs to continue the weaning process off the vent. I haven’t seen her since last Thursday due to the sickness in my little family and I miss her so much! Hopefully I’ll be able to see her this weekend.

Our shifts at the hospital are going a little more smoothly. Sometimes there’s a bridge to gap, but it always seems to work out. Thanks to all those who have been concerned for our wellbeing through all this. The lives of each one of us in our family have changed to one degree or another since all this happened almost five weeks ago – changes that will continue to shape our lives forevermore. We are starting to better realize our limits, but are still willing to go the extra mile for Vicki. She would do it for us and...well…I guess that’s just the kind of family we are.

We truly appreciate the continued love and support from each of you. Please continue to share your thoughts and comments. Vicki’s heart will be overwhelmed when we can soon share with her and she can better comprehend what each of you has done for her and her family.

One more thing, Vicki remembered earlier this week when she was asked whose birthday was coming up...TODAY IS HOLLY'S BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Love to all…
