Tuesday

Eden had a good day today. Yesterday her mom took her up to the hospital to get a "recharge" - a red blood cell transfusion. The transfusion obviously made her feel better, because she got her color back, had a smile again, and was bouncing around the house today like she had dipped into her secret stash of pixie sticks.

Eden's been having a wonderful time playing with her new toys, and reading her new books. Thanks to all of you who delivered or sent a gift for her!

Late this afternoon, although it was chilly and windy, she wanted to go outside and swing.....we hem-haughed back and forth and finally decided...Bundle up, we're heading out back to the swing-set. However, we first made her agree to not pitch a fit when its time to go back inside. Her mom even made her make eye contact while making this verbal agreement. She had a great time on the swing set, rosy red cheeks and all. Not sure what was more fun for her though, the actual swinging, or making her dad give her underdogs. Its really funny hearing her request "unnnnerdog" over and over). Oh, by the way, she held up her end of the deal - no complaining when it was time to go back inside.

Just before going back inside, we were all playing "rocks" on the front porch, when some special guests stopped by while they were on their walk. Eden has spent so much time this past winter looking out the front picture window, it was nice for her (and us) to be able to visit face to face.

So back inside we go, take our evening meds, change into jammies, read a few books, do our evening prayers, and she was out like a light.

This week, our clinic visit is Thursday morning instead of Wednesday morning, and for the first time in a while, i will be joining the girls, and I am looking forward to it.

Thanks for your continued support!
