I just watched a far off glimpse of fireworks from my hospital window. This has been such a long weekend and it's not over yet. Since it's a holiday weekend, it's pretty non-eventful around here. It's finally hit me that I've been here a long time! I have moved into a semi-private room, which is actually pretty nice. Our roommates are a very nice family from Arkansas. Having a smaller room is nice, but it's so quiet. Almost too quiet sometimes that the days seem to go by slower. The little boy in our room is so sweet, it makes me miss my little boys. He's a little younger than Dallin and I can't imagine Dallin having to be confined to a hospital bed for a week. I'm missing my family today. I hate being away on a holiday! I hate not being able to cuddle on a blanket with my boys and see their faces light up watching the fireworks!!! I know they have their Daddy, so that makes me feel a little better. I so look forward to enjoying summer when I get back.
Monday is the ex-ray to see how Lily's bones have healed. Since Monday is the big day, it has also made this weekend go by even slower! Monday should give us some sort of time-line for the rest of the stay out here. I'm crossing my fingers that her bones will look great and we can get out of here sooner than later. I can't count on anything though, and I don't want to rush it.
So hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Swim all day, get tan, eat fresh corn and watermelon, hold a sparkler, and kiss someone special under the fireworks!!!

We wish you were here too.
Lily doesn't know how lucky she is to be with you sooo much. The boys will be with you before you know it .
Love you!!
Glad you saw a few fireworks :-)
I am so sorry you missed the 4th with your family! I am excited for Monday and will keep in my prayers that all will be healed and it will be perfect and your stay there will be coming to an end sooner! Good luck with everything. This will all be over before you know it!
I thought of you this weekend Laura. You're such a trooper and so is Lily. Sending big hugs your way and hoping to see you and Lily soon! :)
I just read your last few posts. You have such a great attitude and perspective!! Wow. Hang in there...we miss you.
Your Dad read this post in sacrament meeting today and it made me cry. I can't believe how calm you seem with all of this, and with such a great attitude. You are such an example to me of what I really should be worried about and what should make me happy.
Love you! See you soon!
I wish you were here for the 4th, L! I'm sorry the weekend went by so slowly. I am so happy to hear that things are moving along for Lily and soon you will be home! Don't worry, there are MANY many more pool/beach days to be had once you come home. You are so amazing and such a great mom. I wish I could be just like you! Ann was asking about you, and she wanted you to know she's thinking about you guys. We all miss you and we all are praying for Lily to be all recovered and home soon. We just can't WAIT to see you both! xo
