Some sweet relief

Well, it's been awhile since I posted and God has been good! At the time, we have limited internet access at home so blogging is very difficult. I am currently at the home of my personal chef making this post just to update you all quickly... no, I don't really have a chef, but Celeste has cooked for my family every weeknight for the past month while I have been trying to keep my own food down... may God bless her for that awesome gift
!
So anyway, on to the update. We decided not to put in another PICC line because the vomiting was no longer out of control (meaning it was only a couple times a day as opposed to 8) and unless completely necessary, my doctor didn't see it being worth the risk. It seems to have been the right decision because we now think the 5 days I had it in allowed us to get on top of the sickness and take control. I am back on the oral meds twice a day and the Phenergan at night to help me sleep and I am doing very well. Food is staying down, I am able to drink liquids regularly throughout the day and I've even begun some more 'normal' activity. I have been warned to continue to take it slow and not jump back into my busy lifestyle too quickly, but we have been leaving the house and getting reaquainted with friends we haven't seen in over a month! I have returned to both bible study groups, very appreciative of all the love, prayers and support that came from both groups of women, and am even very thankful for the ability to do my own grovery shopping again! It's the little things, isn't it?

Logan is very happy and adjusting very well to our slow transition back to 'normal' as he has enjoyed getting to go to playgroup and even the nursery at church again. People that didn't get to see him much throughout the last month continuously comment on how much he has grown up... he is becoming very independent and mommy is loving that too!
Thanks again for all the prayers... our next appt is Tuesday March 3rd so hopefully we will have our internet working again by then and I will be back to more regular posts! Recent pics of Logan coming soon... and I've got to get some more videos on here of all his little sayings and songs! He cracks us up on a daily basis!
