Update

Well yesterday, Christopher, Denise, Mr. Dennis (Denise's dad), and my husband Marcus all took a field trip to Target. They got Christopher a motorized cart to drive around Target in..and they stopped at Subway to get lunch. Although he enjoyed getting out of the four walls, he admitted to Denise that he overdid it. Christopher rested the rest of the day, and this morning he changed Ethan and got him ready for daycare. He gets worn out, but if you asked Chris this is just a hump they need to get over.

The nurse from Hospice will be here this afternoon to check on Chris' vitals, and we have a call into his doctor to see about the process of draining the excess fluid from his body. We'll see if Chris agrees to this procedure, this won't be a one time thing because the nurse has informed us that even if they drained him, the swelling will be back in 2 days. It will be a decision Christopher and Denise have to make. The draining will help him to get around better with less pain to his legs and feet.

While we had a full house this weekend, things have gotten quieter. Denise's dad went back to Houston last night, and Denise's mom left this morning to go back to Houston. She will be back on Wednesday to bring Marcus, Addison and I to the airport.

We are very grateful for everyone's continued support, prayers and concern for the Seibert's. We are very grateful for the neighbor's who bring dinner over every night. The support is just awesome.

Until I write again,
Amber

Hi, I saw your blog on DevineM's twitter. I wanted to make sure you've heard this song. Apologies if it's redundant:

"Maybe Tonight, Maybe Tomorrow"
