egg hunts and updates

Of course, Hank didn’t get to do an egg hunt this year, but hopefully next.  Instead he stayed in his lovely isolet and rested.

Henry is doing pretty good.  Fentanyl drip is off.  He is still getting morphine and versed as needed though.  Ventilator off, oxygen by high flow nasal canula on.  Hopefully he continues to tolerate and do well on that and won’t have to go on CPAP.  He has been tolerating his feeds, and those have been increased as well. 

We definitely missed Hank during the egg hunt, but he can catch it next year. 

We decided to buy tickets for the Thanksgiving Point Easter celebration.  It was our first time there, and really, we probably won’t go back.   Totally not worth the money.  I was not impressed by Thanksgiving Point at all.  

They had a big egg hunt for the kids, and they divided it up by age group.  Drew’s group was 0 to 3.    Each kid was allowed 10 eggs, but it’s not like they double checked.  Many got much more that that.

Here is Drew waiting for the okay to start grabbing eggs.

As you can see, the eggs really weren’t hidden, just spread out everywhere.  This was the beginning, waiting to grab eggs.  As you can see, Drew is a happy camper (sarcasm).  This was meltdown #1, joyful.

Drew had fun picking up eggs until…

meltdown #2.  Doesn’t Steve look thrilled?  Ha.

Drew did get to play some games while we were there and go on this train ride.  This was so fun for Drew that when he got off, there was meltdown #3.   He wanted to do it again. 

(I love the picture above.  Doesn’t Steve look like he is enjoying the train ride?)

So glad Henry is making progress. I think of you often and am glad you are taking breaks with Steve and Drew - even with meltdowns. My kids always reacted to my stress even when I tried to mask it. I hope you were able to hear some of the Conference talks last week, lots about precious children. happy Easter
