Pictures from New Years Even 2009.Carrie is coming home on Wednesday! Oh my goodness gracious! That calls for a celebration!
Carrie told me the good news while grinning from ear to ear. She is more excited than the rest of us put together to finally be out of the hospital. Eleven weeks is a heck of a long time.
Our stay at the hospital hasn't been all bad, though. We've had great nurses and doctors who have gone above and beyond their job descriptions to care for Carrie and our family. We've had many root beer float parties, mozzarella stick nights, and field trips around the hospital. Visitors have brightened our days and made sure we don't go hungry. We've grown closer as a family, and we've had an excuse to see each other every day.
Carrie has handled all of this with such grace and strength. She doesn't complain and she never fails to thank those who help her, even if they're just bringing her medication.
I am so excited to have all the Hortin girls well and happy. My sisters are absolutely remarkable. When we all get together, we laugh and talk and joke for hours. We just 'get' each other. Isn't it great to have that bond with sisters?
Even though Carrie can't wait to get home, I'm sure that she's just a little disappointed that her valiant attempts to find me a boyfriend during her hospital stay have been fruitless. :)
