Looking Back

This photo was taken soon after we'd been released from our initial hospital stay, and while still in the Induction phase.  See how my mom is holding Sadie?  Doesn't look very affectionate right?   But that's how Sadie wanted to be held.  She did NOT want to be touched or cuddled.  I am so glad that phase is behind us.  I am so happy with where we are today.   I'm sure two years from now I'll be saying that same thing.

I think back to the day she was diagnosed and the immediate ER trip following.  How my heart ached and tears just weren't enough.  I am so happy that is all behind us.  So happy with where we are today.

 

P.S.  Andrew was so bored in the hospital yesterday! 5 hours of his D.S. and Despicable Me and watching blood drip into Sadie's port.  I think this was good for him.   He had the option to stay and play with a friend, but chose the hospital instead.   It'll be interesting to see what he chooses next time.   Evan on the other hand, had a blast shooting guns with his friend Dallin and dodging adoring looks from Dallin's little sister.  I love it when my boys get to do boy things.  Thank you Chad and Cherisse!
