the silver lining


The only good thing about dad being in the hospital is that Nick, Allison, Nayeli and Karyna came to visit. Dad is a miracle. He regained consciousness somewhat on monday, but could only remember his immediate family and old memories, nothing recent. He didn't know any of his kids were married or had kids. Then over the last few days he slowly began to remember our spouses and kids and more recent memories. He even retained some of his wit. His kidneys have started functioning a little more, still not nearly enough, but at least they are improving. His liver is doing very poorly though, and his arm is going to require surgery. Thank you for your support and prayers.

We spent the afternoon with my family while dad rested.
We couldn't tear Reagan and Karyna away from the easel!

Attempting to get a picture with all of the grandkids... Yes, this was the best I got!



Reagan's first ice cream cone.


The gang enjoying their cones in the grass.


A little bit messy?


Reagan wore a lot of hers...


Karyna wore some of her ice cream too...


Reagan was on a sugar high after eating most of her cone, and was a little bit giddy!
