a long overdue update.
I have a LOT to update since my last post...
My amazing mother-in-law Colleen passed away at the end of June. She has left a huge hole in the family and we are all missing her so much these days. She brought so much stability to the family and was the nurturer, always paying attention to details and making you feel so cared about. We made a video in her honor talking about her life, and who she was with photos and videos. I'll post that to the blog next month after her final memorial service in Rehoboth, NM. We are so grateful that we were able to be home over these past few months to help care for her and take advantage of the precious time we had left with her.
Little baby Aevi has been stable over the last few weeks. She was diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis and had to have 25% of her intestines removed. Her doctors were also in dire need of IV access after her surgery as no PICC lines were small enough for her in Thailand. We called some of Olive's neonatologists in Bangkok to see if they had any access to PICC lines small enough, and they said they would need to be sent from America. So, Dr. White saved the day once again and sent over a few very tiny PICC lines for little baby Aevi. The PICC lines were inserted successfully, and since then she has been pretty stable and continuing to grow.
Henry is so much fun. He has his first tooth popping through, is crawling, and lots of personality.
My sister Melody, and my cousin Katrina along with her husband Trent and little baby Tipper Olive came out to visit for my birthday at the end of June. We had a great time hosting them. My parents were also out here in Lynden for two different weekends in July before and after an Alaskan cruise they were on. So fun seeing them so often.
The Polinder reunion also was in July and we had a great time together. It was the week after Colleen's passing so there was a definate hole without her there. She is so deeply missed by so many.
Here are some photos over the last few months...
