Coming Back To Life


It has been a little over a month since my last post because I spent the month of November being very sick. After doctor visits and a four day stay in the hospital I finally came home (after missing Thanksgiving) to recuperate from a severe case of Mono and I also had developed pneumonia while in the hospital. It has been and still is a long road to full recovery but thankfully I am seeing some improvement everyday.
I can't thank my parents, sisters and friends enough for all the help they have given me and my family since this all came about. They all took the time to come over to help with Olivia, cook meals and just support us during this very difficult time. Grandma Manning has been spending most of her days here with me since I have not been able to take care of Olivia on my own. Olivia has become very attached to her Grandma which is great except for me getting a little jealous. As I can do more now she is coming back to Mom which is nice and makes me feel better.
Thank you Grandma for all your help and your continued help and support !!
We were even able to pull off a nice dinner for Jenny's 12th birthday on December 4th. We had a real nice meal that Steve put together and even a cake thanks to Grandma.
Since I am getting better I will be getting back to posting updates and pictures. Olivia is doing great and getting more goofy and funny all the time. She has been an incredibly good girl through all of this and through all of the different people taking care of her. We are so lucky!

Thanks again to everyone for all the help and keep checking back for more updates!
