It's a good day.

I would just like to wish my husband Ben a happy birthday. He turned 32 today. I would laso like to say that he is STILL older than me, even though I will be moving up a year in the next couple of months :)

London has done really good today. She managed to keep all of her pedialyte (15 ml at a time)down today. It was a good day. She seems to be much more energetic. We are still in isolation, but the nurses here brought in some toys for her and a matt for her to play on. She was so happy to sit on the mat. I have ben a bit anal about her getting down on the floor.... (I work in a hospital, I know what ends up on the floor......). she has gained some of her weight back, she is now 12 lbs 3 oz. We are hoping that we may be able to start a bit of diluted formula tomorrow. I feel like things are really starting to head in the right direction. It is still a waiting game, and only time will tell, but I am really feeling good about things right now.

I am so grateful for everyone that we are surrounded by. We have been so blessed and have felt so much love, not only from our friends, but our co-workers, complete strangers and medical staff. London made a little friend that was in the room across the hall from her. His name is Tyler and he is 12 years old. He was sent to Calgary from Fort McLeod for observation. He went down stairs last night with his parents to play bingo and brought a stuffy that he had won and gave it to London. It was so sweet. He said that he wanted her to have it because she didn't get to go downstairs and play bingo. I was so touched. Flowers keep appearing in London's room from co-workers of Ben. I am in awe over the kindness of these people that London, nor I know. Thank you everyone. Dinners have been prepared and brought to my family while I have been away, play dates have been arranged for my children, my mom has spent countless hours sitting with London so that I can spend some time with my other children, and even more time taking care of them so that I can be at the hospital. We have felt the strength provided by all the prayers that have been said on our behalf. From the bottom of my heart... thank you all.

  1. I'm so glad to hear London had a good day. We'll have the kids over one day next week to play during spring break! Keep updating us on London's progress! - Allaina
