So many families travel all over the country or even world to find the hospital that can best help their baby. While we do have to travel 2 hours to reach the hospital where his surgery and recovery will be, we are so fortunate we have family that so lovingly takes us in and lets us stay with them. It really makes such a difference in our stay. We are also so blessed that each one of our parents has volunteered a week of vacation from work to babysit for our oldest son, Gabe so that I can be with Isaac at the hospital each day. I can tell you that Gabe already knows what weeks who will be watching him and he is excited to have special time with each grandparent. This gives me more comfort than I can say just knowing that Gabe is in good hands and with people that love him.
So, we have been preparing. I have been cleaning our house (I hate to come home to a messy house!), packing, redoing closets (because when we return the weather will be cooler for sure!), and gathering toys, books, etc to help make Isaac's hospital stay as comfortable as possible. I am trying to not get too hyper and stay as relaxed as I can. I am trying to enjoy these last weeks before surgery with boys doing fun fall things!
Here are some of our highlights from the last couple weeks....
Football Saturdays and watching The Ohio State Buckeyes play!
Going apple picking
Fun at the farm
And having cozy family time each night.
Will be praying for Isaac and all of Team Hinkel next week! Love all the fun fall photos and the professional ones on FB. Those were awesome.
