Home Sweet Home!

Happy Father's Day!

The Anniversary Dinner. . .

Happy Anniversary!

Brian is home!  He had a couple of procedures yesterday--a closer look at his heart and then the installation of an AICD, Automatic Internal Cardioverter Defibrillator (or something like that.)  They had to recheck the device today and then released him to go home.  We will be taking it easy for a couple of weeks (at least) and enjoying some family time. 

I can't even begin to describe the emotional roller coaster this week has been, but through it all we can see God's hand.  We continue to trust in God's plan for us.  Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers--God heard and answered.  We are so thankful.  

Brian doing well

Thank you for reading our blog.  I really appreciate all the messages of encouragement.  I have been telling Brian about them, but it will be a blessing for him to read them when he gets home.  Brian is doing really well--anxious to get home.  He will be there at least through Tuesday.  They are doing a couple of procedures Monday and Tuesday and then he can go home Wednesday--possibly even Tuesday night (assuming all continues to go well.)  We feel so supported and loved.  Brian was able to walk down the hall yesterday and then walk out to the waiting area to spend a little time with Malakai (now 8 weeks old.)  We shared a hospital meal for our anniversary--it was very sweet.  He is in good spirits today.  I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the housework and cranky kids, but my kids need a more normal day at home today.  My mom and brother are here helping out and Brian's sister is on her way over as well with her little one.  I still can't believe all that has happened in the last few days, but I know God is good and his hand is truly on our family.
