We have been on a roller coaster ride this weekend. Nate and Lori was to (and did) have a baby today. We kept the two grandsons Friday, Saturday, and Today. We could see instantly that their emotions were on their sleeve and they were already tired. Tired to a 4 and 6 year old is vastly different from that of someone like me. Addison wanted to mow the yard Friday afternoon. Then they swam for the second time. Saturday we went to the Aquarium at
Jenks and then came home and swam. Through all of this, they asked constant questions. Avery showed his concern based on things he had heard. He asked about Mother's who die at child birth. He talked about the story he heard about a guy drinking 2 gallons of water and then died. Later we caught him explaining to Addison that he (Avery) would die before him but that their parents would die first. Addison said, "That's not right. You are going to be a Monster Truck driver!" We stopped this talk, also, but it is sad to see stress coming to small children.
They were emotional about everything and naturally were glad to see their parent this morning. Lori started the procedures at 7:30am and we got there about 9:30am. About 3:15pm Asher arrived and all were happy! Photos, taking turns holding the baby and the move to a regular room. All was well. All happy. Everyone needing rest!
We headed home about 5;00pm and were half way home when Nate called. Asher had a bad turn and they moved him to ICU because they were concerned about his breathing. WoW!
Xrays are showing under-developed lungs and fluid on them!
It has been a weird weekend. One of constant prayer, smiles, and emotion.
Life is a roller coaster and sometimes the lows take our breath.
