We're back!

It was a wonderful weekend.

I got some much needed rest, relaxation and fun outside of the hospital.

Ben had a blast -

and we avoided getting sunburned.

(watch out girls, shark's gonna get ya!)

The weather started out great, lots of sunshine with a cool breeze by the water, but by the end of the weekend it was rainy and storming.

(is this guy happy or what?)

We enjoyed the cabin and played games and made some great family memories.

(My niece Maddie, nephew Cameron, Ben and brother's in law John and Craig playing a game outside on the deck before the weather turned on us!)

(My niece Kate playing a game inside)

My Mom and Dad bought into the cabin (shared with 3 other families) just this summer. They live in Nebraska and will be moving back to Utah when they retire next spring. Since they weren't able to be here for our first official weekend, my sisters and I (and our families) did our best to "break in" our new family retreat. It was great, hopefully we started some fun traditions as well!

Elaina had a good weekend. NO FEVERS until I got back today! What the?????? Anyway, they started her on her antibiotics today, and we have a care conference planned for Friday. Dr Murphy from South Davis will be in attendance and we will be making some decisions as to Elaina's future care at that time. I missed her like crazy over the weekend and it felt SO GOOD to hold, snuggle and catch up on kisses today. I think she missed me too. She was asleep when I first walked into the room, but as soon as she heard my voice she woke up and got fussy until I was able to pick her up (I had to wash my hands first...) and give her some long overdue smooches! Mmmm, she's fun to kiss!

Just snoozin'....
(the stupid thing between her eyes is to protect her skin from the c-pap)

Not too much else to report, I'm exhausted from my day today.... Sometimes vacation (all the packing and unpacking) is a lot of work!!!! Well worth it though! I'm ready to face the next leg of this journey!
Hugs,
Hollie, Ben and Elaina
