Evan was able to get out of the hospital on a dat pass for Thanksgiving. We went to the apartment and spent the day with the boys, my Mom, and Anthony's Mom and Dad. It was wonderful to be out and have the family time I had been longing for. But, let me tell you, I can't wait until next years Thanksgiving dinner, Kroger does not fix a good one! It was so great to see Evan happy to be with his brother's for the day, but it broke my heart when he and I went back to the hospital that night, and he just sat and cried for them. He has been through more than anyone, especially a child, should ever have to go through. I have to say, it is a different world here, your home is your hospital room, you have to have someone come in and sit while you take just a minute to go to the bathroom or take the fastest shower you've ever taken, you share two washers and two dryers with about 60 other families, you eat hospital food every day, you are awakened every couple hours by beeps or by a nurse coming in, you wash your hands so much they bleed.....But, on the other hand, you meet some people you will always be friends with, you learn to care deeply for those around you going through the same struggles, and I guess most of all, you learn to fully rely on God.
It is truly unexplainable the way a Mother and Father's heart feels when they see they're child go through something like this, there is no way for anyone to know unless they have expierienced it with their own child. The worst pain imaginable.
Evan was finally released shortly before Christmas, and we were given the ok to go home, home! We were so excited to be in our own house for the holidays! But, our excitement was unfortunately short lived..............
