We survived another 2 week hospitalization. Colin is feeling much better. In the past he has only had to go into the hospital once a year. But for the past 9 months he has gone in for 2 weeks every 3 months. Once right before I had Eliza, once when she was 6 weeks old and just recently when she was 5 months old. We had a lot of help from family, neighbors and friends on the nights I had to work. That was super hard for me to let other people take care of my baby but I am grateful so many were willing to help and appreciate it. It almost ripped my heart right out though so I hope I don't have to do it again for a while. Next time Colin has a flare-up we are thinking about doing home IV therapy so that Eliza won't have to be shuffled around and can just stay home with her dad like normal on the nights I work. But we'll see what happens, we're just hoping he stays free of flare-ups for a while now. He is 2 classes away from his masters so a lot of his stress will be lifted when that's done in early October. Hopefully his life can get less stressful and he can take more time to take care of himself. We love Colin. He amazes me constantly at his strength and patience through the struggles and inconveniences that come with having a chronic illness. He inspires and teaches me. He is a wonderful husband and an amazing father to our baby girl.
