After spending an exhausting night in the ER, 12 hours to be exact, we finally got into a room on the SCCA floor. This afternoon they did an ultrasound of his intestines to find out if he had a bacteria in his intestines or just really bad constipation. Turns out the ER Docs were wrong and he is very very backed up and that's what is causing all the pain. So Henry should be released tomorrow night at the latest. They will spend the day flushing him out hopefully. Poor little guy. In an attempt to calm Henry down the Doctors gave him Morphine and Adovane didn't phase him at all. Once they gave him Tylenol he perked up and acted like a new baby boy. They were in awe... and all the nurses Loved him. They get googly eyes for him and he's such a flirt. :)

Elizabeth spent the day watching cartoons and eating snacks with Granny Annie. She is such a sweet girl. She's growing like a weed and learning to understand more of what we ask her and how to better express her feelings. She misses home, her reading room loft and the latter.
While all we miss home, but I am so much more comfortable and at ease here. The hospital is close enough we don't worry about the ER room runs and the Doctors are so great, we really trust them a lot and that really helps my peace of mind.

In Church on Sunday we sang Nearer my God to Thee and there's a line in the last verse I think about the things the Lord sends us. And no matter how tough things have gotten here I have truely been blessed to recognize the incredible blessings that fill our lives. Family and friends, and much much more. Thank you for all your prayers and love. We truely feel it and recognize the power of prayer and the priesthood. How greatful I am every day to know and understand the plan of happiness and the joy the gospel brings into our lives.

We miss all you guys at home! Enjoy that freezing weather for me and I'll enjoy the Seattle winter here! :)
