The Start of a New Beginning!!!
Jul 29th, 2007 by admin
My Dad made a comment the day we were coming home that really struck me. He said it’s like you guys are starting your life together all over again. It is so true. It just has a different feel being home together. Everything is put into a whole new perspective. I see everything through different eyes so to speak. All the things that I took for granted before I’d like to think I am not now. For example right now Brennan is helping AmberLee with her nightly IV. She has to flush her lines before she starts and Brennan likes to push them in for her. It’s moments like this that I think are taken for granted.
AmberLee is doing well. She has been a little tired from the move, and has also been very cold which we don’t quite understand yet but it is something we are going to be bringing up at her next appointment. She is very excited to be home and be able to be with her family again. It was definitely a long 3 1/2 months. It’s nice to just be able to sit outside on our own front porch together and watch Brennan ride his Tricycle he got for his birthday.
To answer Josh’s question (comment he left on the last post) Her appointment was Thursday and as soon as we got down there on Friday we were packed up and gone by 3 in the afternoon. There was no reason to stay any longer than necessary. You can imagine she wanted to get home as soon as possible.
As of right now we don’t know how long she will be on the IV’s. I just asked AmberLee that and she said, “Until they tell me to stop.” So as long as she has to do the IV’s she will have to keep in the port. She will also be going down to Salt Lake once a week for follow up appointments until further notice. Her mom will be taking her down to those, because I will be working.
All in all it has been a good first weekend home, just for the simple fact that we’re home.
