Settling in

Getting settled around here.  The transition has been very smooth so far - praise God.  Ellie did have a bit of a struggle last night - seemed to be fussy and didn't like all the gunk that is still in her lungs from being put to sleep.  We took care of that around noon today when we filled the Tylenol Codeine prescription.  At first we didn't want to give something so powerful.  But the poor girl had her chest cut open seven days ago.  So, she's been doing reallllllll good since we gave her the dose today.

Some pictures from yesterday:

The boys - their idea: they decided to be "guards" for Queen Eleanor.  They took it very seriously.

They made her feel at home.
 

On the record as the best Mardi Gras this family has ever had.  Celebration - so much to celebrate.  Family all came, no shortage of good food!  Even the baby in the King Cake had to make it on the blog. 


Julia feeling festive and a big wacky.  Ellie, you have ooonnnne silly sister!  :)

Happy to be resting today with her new baby doll.  Julia has decided Ellie can keep it, but maybe some days Julia can play with it too.  Silly and sweet - what a nice mix.
