Yesterday went smoothly and she didn't feel quite as bad as last week. I stayed with her last night and we watched, "Daddy's Home." Will Ferrell is so funny and he always makes me laugh out loud. Now she just hydrates and waits to clear. Last week she cleared in 60 hours with a beautiful 0.07 by Friday morning, so the pressure is on for another quick week. We are definitely looking forward being home to celebrate Easter weekend!
I am obviously going crazy because we are talking about getting a dog once this is over. What?? Obviously all this downtime is messing with my head, because those of you that know me well know I am NOT a "dog person" but Ben and Madeline really want one, so we are considering it. I love that both the kids are old enough to research, and I love hearing them debate breeds, size, and dog intelligence levels.
Speaking of people who really, really want a dog, I don't talk about Ben much on here, but he has handled this year with such grace. He keeps us laughing and he always knows how to cheer up Madeline. Ben loves his family and reminds me to enjoy this unplanned gift of family time we have been given. For a kid that doesn't want to talk very much, he makes us so proud with his actions and decisions. I'm constantly asking if his stuff is ready for school, his homework done, his lunch packed, etc and it ALWAYS is! He goes three days a week to workout before school and he never complains! So, so proud of him, and excited to see what's ahead for him in high school next year.
Please pray Madeline clears quickly with no side effects, and that we are home soon. Thank you for staying #Madelinestrong for so long. The meals keep coming, the thoughtful cards, texts, and calls never stop, and we are so thankful. Keep praying as we near the end!
