The farmers day parade, show choir, and Mississippi River museum were some of the highlights. Hawkeyes just lost 92-94 in overtime. Counting done the days until we get to see you again and hear all of your stories.

Enjoy yourself and the wonderful people you will meet down there. Going on the trip to Honduras is one of the things I wish I did! You are all doing so much good! ❤️<br /><br />The update on Noah you asked for: After a rough week and a half, we are on good day #3. We held a meeting with his team to ask them to do more about his painful swelling, to find out where we are with his heart, and to come up with a plan to help him with his breathing. This kid is teaching me how to be brave and be his advocate (even if it means sitting in a room with his doctors and nurses and telling them that I feel there is more they need to be doing for him)! I have grown a backbone. He isn't progressing with his breathing and in fact he has gone backwards. So we asked for a pulmonologist to come in and consult so we can hopefully figure out where to go from here to help him so we can prevent the swelling from coming back and hopefully make breathing a little easier for him. He is a fighter though. For a child who has known a lot of suffering in his short little life, he is a very smiley little baby. He had three days where we couldn't get him to open his eyes last week, but he seems to be back to himself. I swear he even giggled today! It was the cutest sound. The nurses call him a little flirt and the doctors joke that he makes his alarms go off just to get someone to come give him attention. But if we dare to change his diaper or take his temp, he is not afraid to let us know we are the biggest pain in the butt for disturbing him. He is feisty and trying to get better so he can come home. He is now 5 pounds 5.5 oz! I can't wait for you to meet him. My greatest hope for him is that he grows up to be kind, loving, and good...like you are. I hope someday he decides he would like to make such a big gesture as going somewhere like Honduras to show the world that people are so good. I hope he has a heart like yours. He is as lucky to have you for an aunt as I am to have you for a sister! We love you so much! Keep being you and show the world how much good you can do!❤️<br /><br />MaggieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745103735663133399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838306873108654151.post-81646440048618915692017-03-19T17:00:32.421-05:002017-03-19T17:00:32.421-05:00Happy Birthday Ralph!
