Something to be Thankful For

It's been a few weeks since we were whisked off to Anchorage after my water broke. We sat around in the hospital for a week and then had a baby who ended up in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and now we finally get to go home. It's been a long and emotionally-stressful journey, but it's coming to an end.

Here we are on Thanksgiving Day, waiting to be discharged from the hospital. No, there will probably be no turkey dinner tonight, nor stuffing or pie...but Ethan will be out of the hospital and we will be free to move forward with our lives.

We will plan to make flight arrangements back to the Emerald Isle as soon as we're released. We are all looking forward to getting back to life; and as soon as Emily returns, our little family will be complete once again.

We are thankful to all our friends and family who have supported us through this difficult time, and thankful for all of the kind people here in Anchorage who have been so welcoming.

Happy Thanksgiving!
