Getting back in the swing of things!

I have been asked to update this! My grandma Miller told me this weekend she has been going to it often throughout the week and it hasn't been updated! I didn't know people actually read about our family. Sorry Grandma, but I honestly never thought you would have a computer, let alone, take the time to get online!

Anyway, we are doing well. Garrett still has quite the cough. They are treating him for baby's asthma right now. He has an inhaler...which he HATES! However he is tolerating it better now. We did find him a babysitter. We are so blessed and he will be starting there on January 4th, which means Ryan goes back to work, and also means we are back to 2 incomes! (first time since June!) Garrett will be having tubes in his ears and another test ran on January 8th at Riley hospital. He is still in therapy and continues to do well. We are working on muscle tone with him.

Rylynn is doing well. At this time she is going to daycare once/twice a week. She has been singing Jingle Bells and excited to tell Santa she wants a baby for Christmas. She will be going back to daycare full time at the begining of the year as well. She keeps us very busy, but is such a joy.

Ryan and I are doing well. I am still loving my job and I believe Ryan is looking forward to going back to work. I will include some updated pictures with stories later this weekend/week. But I wanted to update everyone a little. Thanks for reading! We love comments/emails to let us know that you are keeping updated on our family.

Still adjusting

Garrett has now been home for 9 days! We are still get back in the routine, but things are going better. Rylynn has been sleeping in her bed and staying in there all night for the last two nights! This wasn't a problem before we went to the hospital, however once we got home Rylynn wanted to sleep with us and ended up with us in the middle of the night. Garrett also was sleeping through the night before we went and when we came home he wasn't. For the last two nights he too has slept through the night! I am convinced I know why this is....prayers! Garrett is continuing to have cereal in every bottle to help with feedings. He is struggling with the feedings at times, but otherwise he is our happy little baby boy. Both kids are doing good. Rylynn got to see Santa this weekend and she told him she wanted a baby for Christmas. Garrett was asleep during the visit but we had a nice time.

Tomorrow we will be heading to Rossville, my great aunt passed away. We will be staying over night with my sister Mirissa and heading back sometime on Monday. I will get pictures posted as soon as I can. Thanks for continuing to stay updated. Please feel free to leave comments.

HOME

We are home and Garrett is enjoying being back in the house. Rylynn is glad to have everyone home as well. We still aren't back in routine. Garrett is not sleeping well. Rylynn is waking up in the middle of the night and crawls in bed with us. And well we just have a lot to do in order to catch up, but we are so thankful to God for letting us keep our little man here with us, blessing us with great family and friends that helped us in this time of need. And we want to thank all of you that read this and said prayers for our family. You will never know how you blessed us!
If you just started reading our blog, please feel free to watch it every so often. I try to update it a few times a month with pictures of the kids and what we have been up to!

WE ARE HEADED HOME!

Garrett was released on Wednesday with some medication and follow up appointments. The only thing they found was that he suffocated himself in his carseat. He no longer rides in that car seat!

We are so glad to be home.

Daddy stays with Garrett

Daddy stayed a few days with me at the hospital while mommy returned to work!

Garrett is progressing

Garrett is still in Riley. He is doing well. We are working on getting him on the bottle. Ryan has stayed with him and is helping a great deal. Rylynn has continued to ask where her daddy and brother are. We have answered her so much that now you can ask her and she will tell you that he is sick and at the hospital with daddy.

We are hoping the 4 of us will be together tomorrow evening.
