Our time at Primary Children's will be something we will never forget. It has been hard, but it has been wonderful. In just 4 days we've grown leaps and bounds and learned amazing things. It has opened our eyes to a whole new world of gratitude and charity. We have been forever changed by this experience.
The poor girl was covered in electrodes and tape from her bandages so we did our best to clean her up since she can't have a shower for a few more days. She was pretty excited to be tube & wire free.
There are a million stories that walk these halls. I've always been intrigued but I now have a deep desire to be a volunteer in this hospital and to see a part of the stories being written.
My friend Cali's baby girl has been in the hospital this week as well with RSV. On her Instagram she wrote, "I knew the thing causing her the most pain (the IV) would essentially be the thing that saved her life. There is definitely a life lesson to be learned there. Sometimes the most painful things help us heal and lead us to better days". Those words rang true in my mind.
I've been thinking all week about how this has been the hardest thing that Kambri has ever done. She has been a trooper and has handled it amazingly well. I was thinking about the growth and changes that have & will come from this process. It is hard but it will be absolutely worth it. For us, this process isn't just about an ear, it is so much more.
It was bittersweet walking out of that hospital. It felt as if time had flown by yet in the same moment it felt as if we'd been there forever.
We were greeted by balloons, banners and loved ones! Grandma & Grandpa Larsen and the boys were here waiting for our arrival. It is so good to be home!
She was greeted by more balloons and a heart attack in her room.
There's no place like home!
