Two steps forward...one step back

Asher passed out on the couch!

Well, the start of another week and we have some good things to report! Shelly was discharged on Sunday and her back is feeling much better. The big boys stayed with Patrick and me over the weekend and were SO good! Grayson got his Nintendo DS back and stared at it all weekend! We took the boys to Fred Meyer to pick out a toy and Asher picked out a bag of giant bugs and a Star Wars figure. He couldn't get enough of those!! Grayson picked a Halo guy and he and Asher had fun playing together! Patrick was up with the boys on Sunday morning and made pancakes and bacon for them! I got to sleep in  a little, but joined them for breakfast! We mostly spent the day playing and eating :)

Micah called to let us know he and Shelly were heading home, so we packed the boys up to take them there as well! It was a pretty exhausting weekend...going from no kids to 2 kids takes a lot out of me.

I talked to Shelly a little this morning and she let me know that Keller is off his ventilator and is now  on a sleep apnea machine. This is a good thing! Also, the nurses are continually amazed by how tough little Sky is! Shelly is going to visit them later today and said she'd send me an update and some new pictures! So stay tuned for that!!

The sad news of the weekend is that Cougar, the Dolen family cat, was the victim of a raccoon attack and is now in cat heaven. The big boys don't know yet and Micah is trying to figure out the best way to tell them. Cougar was an amazing cat and it's another event that adds to all the emotion. Prayers for Grayson and Asher (and Micah and Shelly) that they can understand what happened. RIP Cougar...we loved you!

Happy Monday everyone,

Auntie Kylah!
