So we had to update my website/blog last night, and it took forever, and required additional maintenance from my personal IT professional, Jeff. So I took the night off, and planned to just write two posts today. So this first one is Thursday’s update…Emmie and Nana went on another morning nature walk, and collected all sorts of good things to bring back and show me.

Emerson loves helping with chores, and feeding Pretzel is one of the things she can actually do on her own, even with all of her post-op “sternum precautions!” She loves doing it, and I love watching her do it.

I was off work again today, for one last full day, because we were supposed to go to the cardiologist’s office here in town.

Jeff stayed in the hospital last night for the overnight shift, and he said both of he and Emerson were up pretty much all night. Emmie slept for about an hour at 10pm, and for about two hours at 5am. So both of them were obviously exhausted.

Since we’ve posted a couple of times on Facebook throughout the day, most of you know the details by now. I’m of course still going to write today’s blog post though, although it’s certainly going to be difficult…
Perfect little angel baby, sleeping before we woke her up super early this morning. She had to have a bath in special anti antibacterial soap first thing this morning, and we had to be at the hospital at 6:30, so we had a very early wake-up call.

Today’s post is one where I got started writing late, I have tons of photos, and lots to cover, so I’m gonna keep the writing short when/if possible…
