Ninth Anniversary!

 We had the BEST anniversary this year!  

I think it just gets better and better each year.  Lulu spoiled Mark and I this year.  The week before our anniversary Lulu asked us if we could help her get some things from the grocery store.  The night before she asked us if she could get up early to "do something."  So the morning of our anniversary we woke up to a very special breakfast in bed.  We had toast with butter, jam and banana on it (interesting taste but not terrible), a plate of fruit and coffee.  Lulu even add a battery operated candle on the fruit plate.

Post Op Visit

 One week later!  Silas is doing great and we thank God for the quick recovery.  We also thank God for the power of a praying church, praying family, friends and people we don't even know who we heard were praying for Silas.  Thank you all!  We have been so touched and humbled by all the people praying.  

 One last hospital picture!! 

 Today Silas got some stitches taken out and his final check up.  He's a healthy boy! 

Our Hospital Stay

 Here we are wheeling Silas from the CICU to the normal floor.  This was a fun walk and just meant we were getting that much closer to going home.  

 Silas says "hi"....waving is his new trick.  He loves to wave. 

 Here's his sweet little scar. 

 Getting weighed.  Not very fun. 

Each night Mark came over and brought me dinner and spent time with us.  My parents were such a blessing because they watched and cared for our kids.  

 Once we were in our new room Mark brought the kids to visit.  They were so exceed to see us.  They toured the hospital and had lunch in the cafeteria.  They thought that was pretty cool since they could pick out what food they wanted.  

 My parents and Mark's mom were also able to visit.  Here is my mom hold Silas so I could take a shower!!! 

 Each morning around 4:45am we had to wake up and do chest X-rays.  Silas did so well but didn't enjoy it. 

 He got his drain tube taken out!  Another step closer to going home!

 Here is one of the cardiologist doing a checkup to see if Silas can go home.  

 Silas started eating real food.  He had lasagna, green beans and sherbet.  

 Happy Boy....he's going home!!!!

Once we got the ok to be discharged Mark headed back to my parents and picked up everyone and drove them back.  This was a family event.  My parents came too!

We watched them find a parking spot.  

Good bye Seattle Children's!!  We were discharged on Friday, May 9th, 2014.  Only 4 days in the hospital.  What an answer to pryer.
