Happy to be Home :)))

I was released from the hospital on

Wednesday afternoon :))) ...

with strict orders to take it easy;

take more antibiotics, pro-biotics, and vitamins

to build up my immune system

AND to rest!  By Saturday

I could not WAIT to get dressed

and go somewhere...even if it was

just to Target with my littles and my mother!!!

It was hard to believe that a week earlier,

I couldn't walk or hold anything down

and was in severe pain...

I couldn't help but wonder why I could

be healed so quickly and others...

like Travis aren't.  :(((

I know my sickness was minor

compared to Trav's and most, but still. 

I just wish so desperately that

his story was different.

At the same time, I couldn't have been

more grateful to be okay. 

I hadn't really realized how sick

I was until I started feeling better again. 

This little muffin top of mine had

the hardest time with mommy

not feeling well. 

God love her little heart!

My little stinker pot pie, on the other hand,

bonded with daddy in a whole new light;)

My babies mean everything to me

and I couldn't stand the three days

that I had to be away from them

stuck in the hospital.  :(

I missed their silly grins, their

sweet hugs and even their sometimes

 whiney little voices.......

My big boy love didn't seem too phased

by mommy being sick, but I knew he didn't

 like this situation one bit at all. 

God bless his fun-loving, sensitive little

heart, he was so quick to ask me

over and over again if I was okay

after I got home from the hospital. 

And to crawl in bed beside me

for extra snuggles! :)

I thought I had the "not taking anything

for granted" down pretty well...

but another little (or scary!) reminder

never hurts, I suppose! ;)

"So take nothing for granted.

Stay wide-awake in prayer.

Most of all,

love each other as if your life depended on it.

Love makes up for practically anything."

1 Peter 4:8
