Well, we have had a rough couple of weeks, including a hematoma on my kidney, two hospital stays and multiple cat scans. As of Monday this week I was diagnosed with pleural effusion, which is fluid on the lungs. I had a procedure yesterday to remove this fluid, but it was not totally successful. They were only able to remove a third of the liquid, for there is over a liter of fluid on my lung! It is amazing to see on the x-ray because it takes up over a third of my lung!
Anyway, I am in some relief from the procedure, but I am still in some pain with the fluid on my lungs. Bryce has been an incredible husband for our Easter weekend was quite trying. Bryce was on Daddy and Husband duty full time taking care of me, who has been bedridden in pain for the past five days and taking the overnight duty with Benjamin. He was such a trouper and so wonderful to serve and love us in such a wonderful way!
Benjamin, however is changing and growing and doing great! He got dressed in his Easter outfit despite the fact that we did not leave the house. Daddy was very sweet to treat mommy and dress him up to take an Easter photo!
Here are some other pics of Benjamin hanging in his new favorite spot the SWING!!
