No big updates over the last week, just life happening in the middle of the waiting. Over the weekend we celebrated little brother turning 3, and in just a couple short weeks we’ll be celebrating Evelyn’s birthday too 
As the weather warms up, we’ve been spending more time out in the courtyard. Feeling the sunshine on our faces and the wind in our hair does something good for the soul. It’s a small piece of normal in a place that often doesn’t feel that way. As the days go on, it gets harder not to focus on the waiting… one more day, one more week, one more month. Checking notes, meds, making sure vitals are done, repeating it all, while quietly wishing for the day everything changes.
I recently read another transplant mom’s words that have really stayed with me: “one more day waiting, is one more day a parent has with their child alive.”
Holding onto that perspective, even on the hardest days
