While the cat is away........

Tyson plays! While the rest of his family is having not-so-much fun, Tyson is living it up with his grandparents. When I told him that Jack was going to have to go back to Primary Children's he immediately asked me if he could come and then go back home with Grandma and Grandpa (both sets). He has good memories of this Medical Center because there really is a lot of things that kids can do. And of course he had a blast staying with the Grandparents last time.

First, my Dad sent me this picture; we get snow where we live, but not like the frozen tundra of the north aka north western Wyoming.

If you didn't think that the snow looked that deep in the first picture, then check out this photo that Dusty's mom sent me!

We really are truly blessed that we have family so close and in a position that they can take care of Tyson for us. That is such a load off of our shoulders.

Meanwhile, Jack and I have been "hanging" out at the hospital. He is eating so much better but has developed a staph infection, so we might be here for quite a while longer. My body decided to get a cold a few days after we got here, so I get to wear a lovely mask everyday. :)

Jack is starting to act like his more normal self. He is so good tempered. All the nurses and staff comment on how mellow and smiley he is. The only time he gets distressed (besides after his surgery) is when the IV team arrives. He is just small enough and chubby enough that the IV's have been very difficult to place. It truly breaks my heart every time it happens.

My visits from sisters and parents and in-laws have been so wonderful. It has helped my outlook considerably. Thanks you guys!

Sorry the picture is blurry. It's the best I could do with my phone! :)
