Faaaaa la la la la la la Laaaa!

FaaaalalalalaLalalalaaaa! It's almost Christmas time, and do I dare say it?.... I feel like we might actually make it home for Xmas :) Kayden has progressed to a crib, rather than a bed...

He's getting his central IV line taken out and having just a regular IV instead. The central line is in a deeper vein, and is located in his groin, secured by 4 stitches. It's is his last concerning potential threat of infection... Goooood riddance! His lung is fully expanded again, and the greatest news of all......he's nursing again :) 

We had a hectic, but good day. I got to spend time with Maxon today, which was really really nice - except for the guilty part of leaving Kayden. We had a snuggle session after Grammy A. dropped him off, visited with Kyden for as long as Max's attention span lasted, had ourselves some cafeteria breakfast (not so delish), then went to check on Agent pants...

He wasted a good portion of my new wrapping paper! Thanks a heap buddy.

Along our travels to our house we mailed out our Xmas cards, visited Daddy-O at the shop, and paid some bills. After we discovered Agents pants' little mess, we had popcorn and watched Wibbly Pig together before Max headed to Grammy P.'s for some gingerbread train making. 

All in all, I felt like today was equally divided with both my boys - who if you couldn't tell already, I love dearly. My family is my entire world, and I cherish them with everything I have. I have to admit, I'm starting to allow myself to get a little excited that we could all be waking up Christmas morning together. One of us holding Kayden, one of us video taping Maxon, all 4 of us enjoying Christmas as its meant to be - at home with your loved ones <3 

Enjoy your families, treat each other with respect, and love each other unconditionally. You never know what tomorrow will bring, so don't leave any room for regrets :)
