An Update

Ok so I haven't updated, as to what is happening so I will start with:

July 9, 2010 Friday

I was eating breakfast the day after Parkers Cath and Biopsy (which went really well by the way everything came back negetive for rejection)and I thought this is going to be the worst weekend ever. Jim and the boys werent coming up and Parks and I were going to be all alone. We were going to be able to go home on Tuesday so that was all that I was thinking about and where I wanted to be. I called Luis Parkers transplant Doctor and asked him if I could go home for the weekend on a weekend pass. He said that I probably could, but that it would take some organizing and some paper work to be filled out but it should work. So by the time that we were ready to go and everything was in order we left at 2:00 and got home at 7:00. Jim was very shocked to see me and I think a tiny bit dissapointed. He had just painted Parkers room for me and had a bunch of little things that he wanted to get done before I came home to the caios. But I sure didn't care it was well worth the surprise. The boys were so excited, no I think that is a huge understatment. We let them stay up pretty late and when they did Brock and Kade couldn't get to sleep. So great. Parker also was very happy to see them.
It was Coaldale Settlers days and so we got to go to the candy parade on Saturday morning. We had a bon fire after at Grandma Beattie's house and that is always fun. On sunday night we all got in the van and headed back up to edmonton for Parkers appointment for Tuesday morning.


On monday we headed over to West Edmonton Mall for one last party. We had only been there twice since February and we had some free tickets to one of the attractions so we choose to go to the amusment park. Parker isn't allowed to go swimming for at least 6 months so the water park was out, and we hadn't been on the rides yet. They had a blast.


Tuesday Parker had one more appointment to give the go ahead to go home. One more echo and EKG, and blood work in Edmonton. Everything was still good so we were off. We had to wait till 4:30 to wait till the blood work came back before we could leave town. All the families that wanted to go to Dairy Queen could go and celebrate 25 years of both dairy queen and of Ronald McDonald House could go on a field trip and make our own blizzards. Brock was beside himself. He was so excited. It was really funny. When we got back we cleaned our Ronald McDonald House room (which had way more stuff than I thought was there). 5 months really accumulate. I'm so glad that my mom came up a couple of weeks ago and took a van load home cause we would have had to rent a u-haul. And we were home.

Ryan and Meghan my Brother and sister in law just got back from the Philipines on Tuesday too so that was really fun for me and Jim and our kids. What perfect timing.
