I must add not only serious, real blog entries, but also the funny ones to keep you smiling.
I was home Sunday evening for my birthday and spent the night in my own bed. I awoke the next morning to Madi climbing into bed to snuggle with her mom and Becca's feet walking past to greet Nanny in the kitchen. After my shower, I went to sit in the dining room with Becca and Madi while they played with their princess castle.
The girls began asking lots of questions about Andrew and the hospital. They wanted to know where he was and if he was better. They wanted to know where the lump was in his chest and why it hadn't gone away. They had some wonderful thoughts and questions to ask me.
Finally Becca said, "Mom, are you going to have to leave and go back to the hospital today?"
I said, "Yes, but I will be here for breakfast, taking Madi to school, lunch and some of your naptime."
She seemed okay by that but a little disappointed that I had to leave. So I told her, "Becca, you know the great news about all this? Nanny and Papa get to move in with us. It will be like this is their house for a while. Won't that be fun?"
Becca smiled and looked at me and said, "Mom, can we call this house Florida? (since my parents live in Florida)"
I smiled back, hugged her and said, "Yes, we can call this house Florida!"

ReplyDeleteBless Becca, and all of you.
At least you don't have to call it Egypt anymore!
ReplyDeletethe things kids say....love it!! I am praying each and everyday for Andrew and your family. I shared with my oldest boy Jacob the situation last night and we prayed together. I find myself on this website often to see if you have updated. Of course as I sit here now reading your latest post, my youngest Travis (4 yrs) just came up beside me and saw Andrew's picture...he said there's a picture of me?? Honestly the two of them could have been twins...Travis has that blond hair. Sending hugs your way and praying for clean results on bone scan. Thanks for keeping us updated!!

So glad that Nanny and Papa will be able to stay and help! We will miss them, but know that they are being blessed by this time, even as hard as it is. You all are in our prayers and I know the Lord has His arms wrapped around you all and His healing is on Andrew! Miracles will happen! We will miss our Florida pals, but know that they are where they need to be right now. Love to the family!!!! Vicki and Bill
