Fully Alive…Ready to Smile

…recognize the true importance of a single moment in time, the instant when you are fully and completely alive!

Return of the patriarch : )

My father hath returned to our humble abode! Yay!!! He was released today after 18 days in the hospital. They took out all his tubes yesterday and he’s been able to have a liquid diet. His tongue is still quite swollen, but he’s able to breathe and swallow on his own now, as well as talk (somewhat muffled). My girls are SOOO excited that he’s home. Every day Aidan asks where Papa is. She’ll be happy to wake up from her nap this afternoon to find him here.

In other news our new house is well on it’s way. They framed in the basement walk-out wall on Wednesday. Yesterday the floor joists went on and today all the exterior walls are up. They want to lift the roof trusses up by Tuesday next week. Then I’ll take a picture so you can all see what it looks like…kind of.
