Sunday was a good day for Sam. Matt and Sophia came to visit which was awesome. It was so nice to actually be a family again. It wasn't too long before the kids were arguing and we were having to referee them. It felt so comfortable:-) I miss being a family and having us all together. Don't get me wrong I am loving spending the one on one time with Sam, and having the time to spend in the evening with my best friend, but I am a wife and mom and I miss being JUST that right now:-)
Monday my parents came to visit which was really nice too. They commented about how thin Sam is, and I guess I hadn't really noticed. I have been complaining recently at the last few doctors appointments that he had been losing weight but I had been reassured that he was ok. But after my parents left I put him on the scale, he has lost almost five and a half pounds! I know that doesn't seem like a lot but he was really thin to begin with, we can see all his ribs, when he sits on my lap he feels frail and boney.:-( Unfortunately this weight loss is probably going to continue for another week or so. He is now down to 32lb and is four years old!!!
Monday evening and night Sam got a little irritable before bed, he woke up twice last night in terrible pain. There was nothing I could do for him to help. I was praying, rocking him, singing, but he was just hurting too bad to notice. I called the doctors office, and they said that increased pain at this stage is completely normal. I am not sure if I agree but I am going to wait another day and see. The poor kid is so irritable. It just seems to me that if plain tylenol was able to manage his pain all last week when we had the surgery, why after a week is it not able to cut it anymore? Ugggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Please pray for my boy tonight. That he is comfortable and pain free, that he can sleep well and feel better tomorrow. And also (the nurses informed me that day 10-14 are the biggest bleeding risks after the first 24hrs) that there will continue to be no bleeding. Thanks!!!

Post-op Day 5
What a week it has been! I am so thankful that God has brought us through this week and so blessed that we are no longer in the hospital. I wish that we could be home as a family and oh how I miss Miss Sophia snuggle time. But we have had a good week. God has protected all of us. It has been tough, but prayers have been answered repeatedly.
Today I am worried as Sam is acting worse today than yesterday. He is eating fair, and drinking not enough. He may be getting sick or something I am not quite sure. Please continue to pray for him as he continues to recover.
I got to see Sophia today. It was so wonderful to see her, but it was terrible when she left. I just feel so sad for her and for myself. The poor girl gets carted off often because of what is going on with Sam, and although we have wonderful family and friends caring for her, it is not the same as mommy and daddy. Please say prayers for her as well.
I got off the phone with my mother a little while ago, and she has said that she is taking my nephew Darius up the hospital. He is a month old now. But last night he started vomiting and today he is continuing to vomit and is lethargic. So please pray for him as well as his mom Doreen. Thank you!!!
God bless!! I will try to post some pics tonight:-)

****UPDATED POST*** with pics
Paula and Sophia came around lunch time. I couldn't stop myself from smothering her with kisses. It was so wonderful to see her. I feel so guilty not taking care of her right now. It was so good to have her here and to cuddle and kiss her. To feed her and take care of her. It was terrible when she left:-(
While they were here Sammy started to get tired, I didn't think too much of it, but as the afternoon wore on I started to get more concerned. I eventually calleed the on-call surgeon (who thankfully was aware of Sam already) and told him what was going on. He said we could bring him to the ER but that there wasn't much he could tell me over the phone. So now we will just go through tonight and see how he does....

They let Sam leave Children's late yesterday! I am so thankful. Of course we do have to stay close by for another week, but just being outside of the hospital is so wonderful. He seems to be ok. We are at my best friends house and he drank about 7ounces of milk last night! It was great. He is also sipping on apple juice and tolerated all of his medicine since we have been here.
I can't get him to eat anything this mornign but at least he is drinking well. He slept fairly well. He woke up twice crying a little due to pain. But quickly fell back to sleep and slept until after nine!!!
I am missing Sophia so much! It is so hard to be away from my baby. I know she has been well cared for but there is nothing like snuggling and kissing her myself. My friend Paula is bringing her to see us today and I can't wait.:-)
I have more pictures to post and will do that a bit later. AGain thank you for all your prayers! Please continue them as he is still at an increased risk of bleeding throughout the next 10 days or so.

Chantal's wedding
The beautiful bride and her handsome groom
My best friend in the world. We have been best friends since we were 13years old. I was so honored to be her Matron of Honor
All the brides' maids
Matt and I. It was so nice to have time to be a couple, and to get dressed up and have fun without the kiddos
This past saturday was my best friend's wedding. It was such a wonderful time, I was stressed about being away from the kids but it was a good time. We had a lot of wonderful people that helped watched the kids over the few days of festivities, and the kids loved all the different environments to play in. And some dear family friends took the kids overnight saturday!!! Thanks Uncle Jody and Auntie Paula. The kids had a great time, I didn't worry (too much) and Uncle Jody now knows he is done having kids:-) We didn't even get home until about 2am, and then it took FOREVER for me to get all the bobbiepins out of my hair to be able to wash it and go to bed. And then we SLEPT IN!!! It is such a different feeling to get up so late, but it was wonderful...

My best friend
I got to go with Chantal to see wedding dresses. It was so much fun and I am so excited for her. I feel so honored to be her matron of honor, but boy do I feel old. She looked stunning, but of course the pictures don't do it justice. Chantal and Andrew we wish you the best. As you can see Miss Sophia loved the dresses too:-) I don't even want to think about her and her wedding....
