No big medical updates this week, just feeling a lot of emotions as we approach this milestone of 100 days next week. I just want our girl home.

Lately, Evelyn and I have been having our nightly “pillow talks” — cuddled up, reflecting on our day together. We talk about what went good, what could’ve been better, and dream about what her birthday might look like here in the hospital versus being home.

She tells me how much she wants to go to her favorite restaurant, The Muddy Cow, when she finally gets home. She talks about playing with her friends, running around the living room, and just being a kid again.

I asked her what would make her hospital room feel more like home. Her answers? Bringing in her Alexa Echo Dot to play music, hanging more pictures of her brother, and having her food truck toy nearby.

And then she looked at me and said, “I can’t wait to get a heart so that I can go home.”

Me too, baby girl… me too.
