Long ways to go

Today we drove home from New England. We had initially gone to NE a little early so that we could maybe drive to Billings to see Todd. But then we found out that there was a good chance that he would get transferred to Bismarck while we were home, so we decided to wait because we drive through Bismarck on our way. Ten less hours in the car with Esme was appealing.

It turned out that he got moved to Bismarck this morning so we did get to see him on our way back to Mpls. He was pretty sleepy and disoriented. He got sick on the plane ride from Billings to Bismarck and still wasn't feeling great. We visited with him very briefly. It was hard to see him because he looked so vulnerable despite being such a big guy. He really didn't know who I was which wasn't a surprise.

We only stayed in his room for a few minutes because the nurses were still getting him settled in. He literally arrived only an hour or so before we got there. He didn't even have any of his stuff in the room yet. I will try to go back in a couple of weeks and see him again. I'm excited to see the progress as he begins therapy.

The good news is that Butch and JoyLynn got to meet Esme. :)


See you again in a couple of weeks!

Esme did pretty well on the rest of the trip. She slept quite a bit which was nice and I don't think she was too fussy when we got home. She still slept just as well at night. She's a good baby!
