Adventures in Abilene

We are finally home now. Blake was discharged from the hospital on Friday morning. We were all VERY excited to go home!! Blake is doing well and getting used to his new "plumbing system". His spirits are high and he is doing amazingly well. Mylee was happy to see us, but it took Kelsey a while to warm up to us. She had had a big week.

This Super 8 Motel room was my home for 5 days thanks to the generosity of my in-laws. It was very nice to have a place to stay while I was in Abilene. The room was very comfortable and Lanaea slept all night every night that we stayed. They also had a continental breakfast that I enjoyed each morning.

Here's a small shot of Blake's hospital room. We had Lanaea's port-a-crib next to his bed. Lanaea just chilled in there for 4.5 days!! She was a trooper. Blake is enjoying a popcicle in his chair.

We just had one catastrophe. Lanaea was having plumbing problems too, only opposite to Blake. In an effort to help her, I gave her a 9 oz. bottle of apple juice. She LOVED it and chugged it down. I was surprised!! Well it worked as you can see below. Blake and I were laughing hysterically. In fact we were laughing so hard that I had to leave the room because the straining from the laughter was hurting Blake.

Lanaea was happier too!! Good thing I had packed extra clothes for her! Sad thing that I didn't pack any for me.
