We. Are. Home.
Let me say it again! WE ARE HOME! Thank you Jesus - all THREE of us are home!
Michael may be sick, I may have pulled my back out, our nurse quit out of nowhere today… but we are HOME and Lorelei is with us so that is all that matters right now!
Our ride home was tough but it would have been unbearable if Lorelei wasn’t with us. God is so, so good.
Thank you again for your love, support, prayers, messages, gift cards and stuffed animals, cleaning and lysoling my house before I got home, taking our doctors calls while you’re off on vacation, caring for our pets and everything else. We are so incredibly thankful for such a great village and our wonderful families. My mom, Lorelei’s grandma, spent the last month in Florida with us, my dad and sister flew down after Lorelei crashed and was intubated, one of my best friends spent the first weekend with us instead of on the vacation we had planned in the Keys, another bestie drove 6 hours just to come be with me and cry with me. This may have been the worst vacation ever, but it was also the most meaningful one.
Oh, and literally five minutes after we walked in the door, Disney called and offered us a seven day vacation when we are ready and able to come back!
I’m sobbing, sitting in my house, full of emotions and joy. It will take some time to adjust and heal from the trauma we experienced over the last few weeks, but we will, one day at a time.
