We are home!!

We are home.....exhausted but feel somewhat relieved that this happened before our trip. Todd is playing guitar this weekend at church, Shae is at church, and Kourtney is exhausted and in pain from her dressing change. I gave her some good strong drugs and she is sleeping comfortably now. I am talking a breath and then wil start to pack for Disney World. I will be making my list and checking it twice and then Mona will be able to start packing Kourtney's dressing stuff (I have to say all my little post-Children's Hospital Shopping trips have paid off, because now I don't have to do any shopping before I leave). The girls and Todd are all outfitted, and believe it or not, I am too (a bit of sarcasm for those who know me).

I am feeling a bit overwhelmed (a lot is a better word). The tears have flowed freely over the past couple of days but I am not slipping into the "low" mood like I have before. I don't think anything can ever really ever take the pain of watching Kourtney vomiting because she was in so much pain. It hurts to the inner part of my being!!

Before we leave, we have one important outing to make . . . Kourtney wants a puppy!!! We have picked out the type we want, we have to make a phone call and then let her pick out the one she wants. We will then get it when we get back from Florida. We know that Zazu, our cat, may take some issue with that, but he will just have to get over it.

We will try to post pictures to the blog. Make a Wish is planning for us to be escorted to the airport with a Fire truck . . . how much fun for my girls.

Have a great time! We were there in January and the kids loved it. I hadn't been since I was a kid, and it was fun to take them on all the rides I loved.

I'll be praying that your trip goes well.

Love,
Lori

Our kids continue to remember Kourtney in their prayers. We will pray for your vacation to be really special and free of unplanned hospital visits.

Love,
Kelly

Praying for health, safety, fun, fun, fun, fun and more fun! Saw Shaelyn at church and she is excited.

Puppy? How exciting. If she wants to show it off when she gets it, we'd love to have you over and let our Dezi have a playtime.

Enjoy your trip Janelle. Your family so deserves this. Keep those Ediger's in-line - wild bunch :)
