Visiting With Friends

Austin and His Best Friend, Kayden

 Monday morning Austin received a visit from some special friends.  They drove all the way from St George to visit and take Madison home to stay with them for the week so she can go to school.  That is a big sacrifice for them to drive all this way and we appreciate it more than we can say.  Without good friends this journey would be unbearable.  Austin also received a special package from his 3rd grade class, including a big card that all his classmates signed.  That put a smile on Austin's face.

Austin and his Nurse, Irish.  Irish knew just how to make Austin laugh.
  It helped that he had a fart machine in his pocket.

We were told Austin would have to spend at least one more day in the hospital to make sure his fever doesn't come back.  This is just fine with us because we are more than a little nervous to take him home.  I just want to make sure we aren't going to be back in the Emergency Room a few hours after we leave the hospital.
