Sledding

Addison still has an infection, so it's not going away fast like we all have been hoping.  They need the blood culture to stay negative for 48 hours, so every time we hear the bad news we know it's just that much longer before the infection is gone.

We are still meeting new nurses all the time, but are getting to know a lot of them.  Every day, each girl has a nurse and a respiratory therapist assigned to them.  Occasionally both girls will have the same ones assigned.  Today, two of the respiratory therapists that we like a lot were there.  They said that they had both fought over who would get the girls today, so they decided to just split them up between them and each take one!  It's fun to see them all get attached and makes us feel good that they like us and our cute little girls.

It was snowing pretty hard this afternoon while we were driving to and from the hospital.  The boys thought it would be a lot of fun to do some sledding in our backyard.  They invited some cousins over to sled and they had a blast for a couple of hours.

On your mark, get set .....

You can tell this is towards the end and we're running out of snow.  This picture cracks me up because it looks like Cooper is having the time of his life on this dinky little hill.  They all had lots of fun though.

My brother works as a respiratory therapist at UVRMC and sometimes in the NICU. I wonder if he has helped take care of your girls. If Travis Golding ever comes in to take care of them, tell him you know me, he will be extra wonderful to them and you. Not that he isn't already ;-)
