It has been an exciting two days for us! Devon couldn’t get out of bed yesterday, or even sit upright because she had a spinal headache (which affects your back, neck, and entire head.) She was given a “blood patch” last night and this seemed to clear up the problem immediately. For those interested, they take blood from your arm and insert it into your spine through a large needle. The blood then clots the hole where the spinal fluid was leaking. Today she is getting around much better. She is still experiencing a dull headache, but worlds different from yesterday (thanks for your prayers!) She has pretty strict orders to take it easy…I’m still trying to convince her that her definition of easy is not what they are talking about and she needs to REALLY take it easy.
Travis, Reba, and Zion dropped by for a little visit too. Zion is great with babies and I love getting to spend time with her (and Travis and Reba!) Zion and Mason get along great too.
Mason came with Grammy and Pap Pap (he’s been staying there and having a great time!) Mason got to meet his little brother for the first time. He didn’t like seeing mom with IV’s all hooked up and was concerned for her. He is going to make a great big brother though. There were times he would stick his hands out because he wanted to hold Carson. After a little bit though, he tried to push him off of our lap (like he does with our dog) so we’ll be working on that!
Here’s some more pictures:
