We are home. It feels too good to be true. They were just as shocked as we were with this news. We have a bunch of follow-up appointments and antibiotics 3 x a day for 6 weeks along with plenty of resting, but we have Brooke home safe and sound.
Brooke and Moose:
I have a story.
Brooke probably won’t be walking until Sunday and running again will take quite a lot of time.
She loves soccer with all of her heart and has missed it so much between her tonsil recovery and then being stuck in a hospital bed 24/7.
Tryouts for ALL of the club soccer teams have been this week and next week and clearly there is no way she would be able to make it to tryouts which are obviously mandatory to make a team…
Unless, your Dadda (what she calls Andrew) is the coach.
So, Andrew immediately registered and did everything needed to sign up for a position to coach and he has been going to tryouts the past few nights to select his team but he already has his center defender selected… Brookie.
It’s an unpaid position and the thought of how he just stepped up and decided to volunteer who knows, hundreds of hours this next year, to make sure Brooke gets an awesome soccer experience means the world to all of us. It makes me cry just thinking about it.
Here’s to hopefully never having to share a couch meant for one person to sleep on again!
Also, Andrew brought me the most gorgeous salad to the hospital and each bite tasted like complete heaven.
PS we came home to a house that has never been cleaner, kid’s dresser drawers completely organized and a stocked fridge and pantry. My in-laws are something else.
I can’t wait for a normal day.
