Home again!

Hooray! Eden was released today! We are home, settling in and readjusting again.

While Eden was inpatient, she got a BIG GIRL BED! We consider this a very special change from the crib. One of us was able to sleep in Eden's bed with her each night instead of crowding into the tiny metal crib. It is amazing how spacious a twin bed can suddenly feel! Another blessing was Eden's favorite nurse "Ashley" was on duty this morning. One look and Eden exclaimed, "Ashley nice!" Eden also remembered our social worker. . . while she may be tired, her little brain is definitely in overdrive!

Eden was in isolation the entire time we were there and we were "reminded" about how seriously we must take the immune precautions! Even a trip to the grocery store by one of us now requires a thorough shower and clothes laundering to ensure that we not bring any new "bug" into the house. Unfortunately, the doctors have even discouraged visitors at home.

As you pray please include:
  • Protection for Eden's immune system
  • Her friends on the floor
  • Adjustment and enjoyment as we settle into a "solitary" winter

  3. Little Eden I am so glad to hear you are home again. It is always so much more fun to be at home and I love Molly too. She is such a fun doggy and I bet you and she have a good time together. I was waiting for a while to come visit, but maybe it will be a while longer now too, since we don't want to risk ANY Germs at all. Tell Mommy & Daddy that we are praying for the three of you and I know Cy is extra happy when you feel good too.Linda Hilton

  6. YIPPEEEEE!!! We are so very happy :) to hear you are all home and in a BIG bed. All of our friends here in Arizona (we winter in Gold Canyon--just east of Apache Junction) are sending prayers upstairs for all of you. Last night I woke up twice to send extra prayers and they were answered. Keep the blog going it makes all of us feel better to know Edan is doing better. Kurt and Selena hang in there those University of Iowa Doctors are the best. Hey did you know Preston's masters degree will be from the U of I. It makes our daughter-in-law happy. Keep in touch all of you are in our prayers. Go Cyclones!! WARM WISHES from Judy and Larry Rhamy

  7. Hi Selena, Kurt and Eden! So glad you are all back home. Even though we can't come be with you, you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Soon the RSV season will be over and Spring will be here...you will be able to get out of the house more for fun things. Remember Psalm 56..."when I am afraid, I put my trust in the Lord." Love you all..Jim and Sandi
