Short And Sweet

Ok...I wanted to say so much but I'm going to keep it short. And simple.

Phil is doing better. Most days he does pretty almost fantastic in fact! Other days, he stays in bed, waiting for the pain to go away.
Through all this. Phil has become an amazing person.
Every night I come home and cook dinner and we EAT TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. That statement should be the statement of the year. That is something we have not done, unless at a fast food place, for over 8 months. Our house is clean, its mostly picked up.
We now have a nanny, who this week spent three days at our house, and I think, though, he doesn't know it, has taught Phil a really big lesson. Responsibility. Phil has sent the nanny home EARLY two of the three days. EARLY! That means, Phil spends about 2 hours with Ava before I get home. This is miraculous! This is a huge step for him. He plays with her. He runs around with her. He chases her. They play ball and explore the toys in her play room.
This has meant so much to me. Its amazing, that's all I can say.

Since Phil has left the hospital, lots of things have changed. We have learned a lot. Life isn't always what we want it to be. But we make the best of times with what we have. Don't fret the small stuff, there are bigger fish to fry ahead.
God gave us a life, and we must live it. I love God and I rely on him everyday, every moment of everyday. He is what is keeping me going. He is what helps me get through my day.

There has been so much support and I am so grateful. We have had the best nanny a family could ever ask for. She has done so much for us without even knowing it. She has brought us closer with our daughter. We spend time with her. Ava is at home, in her own home, and she is comfortable, she loves it here and she loves us here. She loves seeing Phil working at home. I think it brings Ava a sense of joy. Ava has really bonded with her nanny. The door bell rings in the morning and Ava runs over to the door waving her tiny little hand. Then runs around screaming. LOL
Since we have had the nanny, I cook almost every night. I have stopped going on facebook while Ava is awake. I clean the house, our dishes aren't piled to the window...its a freakin' miracle!

Our lives are still changing and we are learning more about Phil's condition and how it affects not just him, but all of us. We are spending more time together as a family.

I couldn't be more proud of Phil for spending time with his daughter and eating dinner with the family. Its awesome! We love it!
