Christmas at the Gerda's!

Our Christmas celebration
Jensen loves being a big brother!

Jensen's new train table

We're home and celebrated Christmas in the Gerda household today!

Keaton continued to improve on Christmas night and into Sunday and we were discharged from the hospital on Sunday afternoon. It was so nice to get home AGAIN! The doctor could never give an exact cause of what happened??? It just seemed to be a snowball effect - the vomiting caused the dehydration, which caused the lethargy, which caused the lack of desire to eat, etc. She received great care while we were in the hospital and we now seem to be back on track! She's eating well and is having regular awake periods. We saw her pediatrician for a follow-up yesterday and he said she looks great! Yeah!

Luckily Santa postponed his visit to our house until this morning. Jensen was so excited when he came downstairs and Santa had brought him a train table! And Keaton was extra lucky because Santa found her in the hospital on Christmas morning and then again this morning!! Santa and 2 elves knocked on our hospital room door with a bag full of toys for a baby girl:) Nearly brought me to tears...such a special treat, especially for the kids who have been in the hospital for a long time. Some of the chronically ill children were able to get out and play in the snow on Christmas night!

Jensen has been a GREAT big brother so far! Most of the time he just points to her, smiles and says baby! He likes giving her high 5's and knuckles. The rest of the time he doesn't even realize she's here!!

We're so thankful to have our healthy baby girl back home and all be together!
