We were very excited to have Braxton return home from the hospital today. He was there long enough to see the parade of therapy dogs in the morning, and then he got to come home in the afternoon.
The house was ready for him. It was amazing how fast the volume increased once Braxton arrived home. All of the kids were back to being themselves – arguing, laughing, name-calling, pouting. The house really felt like a home again!!
Of course a lot had to happen to get the house ready for Braxton. Beth spent Friday evening cleaning his room, vacuuming, and doing laundry. She was on a mission to give Braxton a clean place to come home to.
Braxton, Bayley, and Zoe enjoyed leftover pizza for lunch (Thank you, Sue Wilberts!). Emma had her own fun at a “Super Birthday” for her pre-school friend Seraiah. We hung out for the afternoon while Braxton monitored the progress of his picks for the NCAA Tournament. He is doing incredibly well with his picks (24-8 after the first round). Go, Braxton!
Beth and I took some time to do some research for Braxton in the afternoon. We’ve decided it’s time to upgrade to high-speed internet so Braxton can do his school work more easily from home. We also explored the possibility of getting Braxton a lap-top computer that he could use at home and during his hospital stays.
Braxton had visitors in the evening. His friends Brendon and John stopped by and they hung out playing video games. For one day at least, life seemed pretty normal at our home in Arden Hills.
