Family Update

Chad is, unfortunately, feeling better.

It's a double-edged sword. Because he's feeling better, he has been pushed down the liver transplant list from position two to about position four or five now. It's great because personality-wise, I feel like I have my old husband back. Chad still has to take it easy, but he's able to go on short outings and was yesterday able to attend all three hours of church. That's a huge improvement compared to how he was feeling when he was released from the hospital.

He's able to interact with Maura so much more now. It's hilarious because he walks into the room and says something to her and I watch her whole face light up. She's definitely Daddy's girl. I feel so betrayed. :)

So we're in limbo, just waiting. But it's a good time in our lives right now.

I am both happy and sad for you. What an extremely frusterating situation. I loved your quirks by the way. I wish we would have gotten to know each other when you lived here too. I blame myself for not being out going enough at church. I guess we will have a great cyber friendship from now on!

Happy and sad for you. I hope feeling better and being further down on the list is better than feeling worse and getting bumped up. Either way, we really hope things just get better and better for you. You've got such a darling little daughter! So glad to see your updates!

♥ I'm so glad that he's feeling better! I love to see glow that babies have when they see their mom or dad! :)

This can't be easy for you guys any way you slice it. It is good to have your hubby back, personality wise, like you said. Our husbands are and should be our best friends so it is hard when they are not themselves. I am still praying for you guys.

And don't feel too betrayed, it happens to us all.
