It is only Tuesday night and I'm already so tired. We packed all weekend long. Evan helped... it was so cute, he would get a box for his room and take a marker and write his name on the box and go into his bedroom and put one toy in and ask that the box be taped up. I can't tell you how many times we had to slip his toy back into his toy box and get our box back. He really felt like he was helping though and I think that is needed for him to feel a part of this and prepared for the move. Closing went on without a hitch, whew was that a relief. That was the first time I've been without Evan since a week before his surgery. It was hard on us both. He did well at Mamaw's though and we were able to close and order our appliances and schedule delivery. It had been such a long day that we ended up crashing at Mamaw and Papaw's - what would we do without them. Speaking of people we couldn't do without. Eric's brother and SIL came and spent all evening with us cleaning and preparing the new house. How could a new house be so dirty... my sheez... seriously. It took the four of us working non-stop for 4 hrs. Thank you Davy and Melynda for everything.
So we continue to pack and take loads to the new house daily. Our final push will be Saturday. I expect Evan to have somewhat of a hard time with this. He does not like to talk about moving. He has cried a little bit and said that he loves his home now. Nothing we say will matter to him... this is his home and he doesn't know any different. Bless his heart... if he only knew how much closer to his friends/family/school etc. this will be. I'm sure he will adjust.
Heart wise we are doing good. Evan's fever comes and goes... the cardio didn't seem surprised and stated that all his Homograft patients run a fever for a while??? We aren't doing Motrin every 6... just as needed and it is usually twice a day that I can tell his fever is going up and it is usually been 99.9. He chest is healing nicely... I can't believe how good it looks and only 2 weeks post-op. His nose is healing... they believe that the fever blister from his lip spread to his nose. We had to clean and apply ointment 3 times a day but today you can hardly tell they were ever there.
Thanks for checking in on us. There is an 80% chance of rain on Saturday.. NOOOO!!!

So glad everything is going well for you. Happy moving, raining day. Sorry. Maybe it won't be so bad.
Glad things are looking up for you guys!! Rain rain go AWAY!!
Happy moving...

yukko.
Hugs
I hope the move goes well - and while changes and moves can be tough, he will adjust. I am so glad he is recovering so well.
I'll take some sleep, too! It's been a tired week for everyone, it seems.
YAY for the closing going well! That's awesome news. I bet Evan will adjust just fine. It's most likely the anticipation of it that he's having a hard time with more than anything. What a sweet boy...
Good luck with everything! NO RAIN! xoxo
Just think...Saturday night, you can order Pizza DELIVERY in your new house, sleep in on Sunday morning...and eat left over pizza for lunch for taking an afternoon nap!!!
Just keep that schedule posted on your fridge...and your unpacking will fly!!
Wish we were closer to help!
Evan will learn to love his new house. Our older one would have a hard time parting with houses...cars...you name it. geez.
Hope you pace yourself. As stressful as it all is now...you just knocked off two really big things off your TO DO list...whoo hoo!!!!!
congratulations!
Hey! Saturday is looking better! But if you makes you feel better I had 7 inches of rain the day we moved!! Talk about wet!!! Evan recover well, Halloween is next week! I am praying for you all! Let me know if you need anything. Jenn
