Anniversary + TJ

Perhaps not the most exciting anniversary that we've spent together, but we were able to spend the day together and enjoy each others company. As I've said before, boring in the hospital is a good thing. That's the way we'd like it to be every day while we are here. The nurses made us a "Happy Anniversary Anna & Tom" sign and all of the ones that were around, wrote a little personalized note wishing us all the best. It was a very nice gesture. Although I wish this experience on no one, I would recommend this hospital (and doctors and nurses) to anyone that is ever touched by anything remotely similar to what she's going through.

Today was a little quieter than normal and was mostly a day of rest. The pain was there, but manageable and she was able to get caught up on a lot of sleep. Overall, today was better than yesterday which is about all we ask for at this point. We just want to keep going generally in the right direction and realize she'll have her ups and downs. I slept here last night so other than a quick trip home today, I've been here for about 28 hours straight. I spent a bit of time on the phone today, so didn't get to see as much football/baseball as I would have liked. Plus, with her sleeping most of the time, I had moved out to some of the public areas for my phone calls.

Thanks everyone for all the Anniversary posts and comments.

A little bonus video because of our anniversary... he says "Cheese" as he always does when a camera (or camera phone) is around, and then "I love you" before running off...

Loved the TJ video!!!

Hi Guys!
Happy Anniversary! The TJ video was great. I remember when my little rug rats were that small. Simon is in a mens large/xlarge and Lucas is moving into a men's medium. It goes so fast ---I am glad I took pictures like crazy---- still do. Get that camera in his adorable face and let him do all sorts of funny things!!! Glad to hear things are going in the right direction and that going home is not just a far off plan.
Luv you guys, GB

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

It's still the 5th, so the wishes are on time! Yeah, a sucky place/way to celebrate your anniversary, but again, all these special occasions spent in the hospital just means that you're gonna have to make up for it... BIG TIME! That kid of yours is just the cutest. You two done good! Such a happy boy! Sorry to hear of the pain you're encountering Anna, but hopefully the thought of going home helps dull the pain.. just a bit. I'm sure you're a bit apprehensive about leaving the hospital, but obviously, if the docs didn't think you were ready, you wouldn't be going! :) This is just one of many milestones ahead and one that shows you've made progress - that's a wonderful thing! here's to a good week you 3! Ts & Ps (Thoughts and Prayers) to you 3!

Take care,
