Purrrrrfect Medicine!

We're home! (Exhausted, but home!) Praise God!!

Christi hugged her American Girl dolly and slept soundly in Mr. Grant's van, her stroller, on the plane and on the two hour drive home from the airport. I guess she was resting up for the "purrfect medicine" her Great Aunt Marty soon delivered - Buckeye!

Buckeye was a little scared at first, but soon settled down and curled up with Christi (after the two played with a little ball toy for a while). I can't thank Marty enough for her hard work in obtaining this special cat. Christi placed her new cat sleeping bed right beside her bed.

Buttercup, well........let's just say if Shayne brought home another wife and said, "Isn't she so cute? We will treat her as an equal member of the family and we will all love her too," I wouldn't be real excited either. Hopefully, Buttercup will come around soon and the two will become pals.

Not to gross anyone out, but (good news) Christi finally (after 12 days of waiting) did it! (You know, "dropped the kids off at the pool" as my husband would say.) Whew! That has to help her little tummy feel better.

Shayne's off at the grocery store now selecting items to put some weight back on this sweetie and getting her new prescriptions. We pray that her mouth sores heal soon so that she can eat. AND - it's FABULOUS to be back with Shayla! I think she grew an inch in my absense!

I don't believe Christi is going to be up to going to school for a full day tomorrow, but we'll see how it goes and hopefully we can go for a little bit at least.

I'm not certain if you can tell from the one photo where Aunt Marty is standing up, but Aunt Marty even brought real candy buckeyes for Christi! Incredibly thoughtful! Christi actually asked for them last night at the hospital and then said, "Oh, I guess this is Pennsylvania, not Ohio."
