What a difference a few short weeks make!! 

Alyssa ready for school! :)


After school, we all went to dinner and the kids played outside next to the patio where we ate. 

What a Blessing to return to normalcy! :)

4-25-2012

We were so thankful to have things back to normal!! On 4-25-2012, the kids and I enjoyed a trip to the museum together....



Later on when we got home, I caught Andrew reading "Brown Bear" to Alyssa.  I loved it!!!!




Happy to be home!


Someone sure was happy to be home :)

April 15, 2012 and Rashes

On Sunday, April 15th, Alyssa's back broke out really bad at home.  It started at the hospital but the nurses dismissed it.  We kept cream on it that day and took her to the doctor the next day.  The doctor felt it was a reaction to antibiotics from the hospital.  Unfortunately, they had given her several different antibiotics so we don't know which one caused it!   Thankfully a few days later it had subsided greatly....




April 14, 2012

Our baby girl woke up feeling much better and pretty antsy.  She wanted to go play so bad but because of her C-Diff, she had to stay quarantined :(

Thankfully, around 4 p.m. we got to head home with our baby girl!  All 3 of us were excited to escape the hospital and to get home to our Andrew!!!





April 13, 2012 - Spider Bite...

I had gotten 3 bites a few nights before Alyssa got sick.  My calf got more swollen, itchy and bruised looking.  Thankfully it never got worse but 3 months later I still have a bruise...strangest thing!

 



Recovery 4-13-2012

Alyssa made good progress the next day...she was more alert and tuned in to watching tv and interacting with us.  We were super excited about this!!  She even began introducing herself as "Ally" to the nurses..she'd say "I Ally" :)

Aunt Melinda and Uncle Ed sent a sweet basket and balloons.  The picture doesn't reflect it but Ally loved the balloons and bear :)


As the day progressed, our sweet girl smiled more and more and even seemed a bit antsy just laying around....


For dinner, our girl decided to give the pasta a whirl.  Her appetite picked up and we were so grateful!



Enjoying time with her bear!  She got her IV out and we were all so glad about that!
