Getting back to ‘normal’

Thanks for all the encouraging words and prayers! Aiden is doing much better! The new antibiotics seemed to have addressed the GI issues he was experiencing and he is feeling more like his jolly old self again. Although he is not 100% back to baseline, he is back off of the O2 and doing much better.

Ethan is also doing well. (He had experienced an asthma like attack while Aiden was in the hospital.) Aiden’s pulmonologist has prescribed a some daily maintenance meds that will hopefully help prevent another attack of this severity going forward. It is difficult enough to have one sick child, but things are significantly more challenging when two are sick!

We have been enjoying some incredibly beautiful warm weather these past two days. The boys were thrilled to finally get outdoors and soak up some sun! Some images below.
