Rainbows!
As you read in Monday's post Papaw Birdie is not doing very well. As you can imagine this has been very hard on Josh, as well as the rest of the Lipscomb's.
From Josh: Found out my Papaw Birdie wasn't doing very well and was being moved to Hospice care... moments later I see this beautiful rainbow (I haven't seen a rainbow in years). Funny how the world works. It made me smile and made me feel at peace with things. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Then yesterday Ramie (Josh's sister) also saw a rainbow....

Brace update!
Whoo hooo.... we only have two more weeks! I took Mackenzie to Duke today for her bi-weekly check-up and Dr. Fitch said it is looking good - he didn't even need to adjust it. Hopefully, all continues to go well and we'll be able to burn this sucker in two weeks. I can promise you... as soon as we get home from getting it off we will be soaking Mackenzie in a nice warm bath! These sponge baths just aren't cutting it after 4 weeks.

Trip to West by God Virginia!
Our trip to West Virginia was two-fold. We had the trip planned for several months to attend one of our good friends wedding. Two days before we left we found out Josh's Papaw Birdie was hospitalized and not doing well, at all. We were able to visit with him for just a few minutes in the hospital, as he was quite tired and out of it. I'm certain he knew we were there though - he even got to talk with Carter on the phone... he smiled! Today they decided to bring in Hospice to assure Papaw is not in any pain and to keep him comfortable. Unfortunately, the prognosis is not good - so, please take a moment to say a little prayer for The Lipscomb Family.
When we arrived on Thursday we went straight to Auntie Sue's house. We had a fantastic dinner (stuffed peppers), lovely wine along with beautiful converstaion! She is a special lady - I love her dearly.
On Friday we spent time at the hospital as well as at the nursing home visiting Mimi. She was in good spirits. We then met up with tons of Josh's friends and the weekend is a bit of a blur from there... kidding. Though, there was a lot of alcohol consumed by all.
All in all it was a nice weekend san kids... and camera - oops!!

Sleeping beauty
One of our biggest fears when we found out Mackenzie needed to be in a brace was how on earth are we going to swaddle her.... luckily, my dear friend Natasha had given me a Miracle Blanket -- best.thing.ever!! Josh was able to finagle it so we could still swaddle her, even with the brace. The first night she was in the brace was actually the first night she slept through the night. We have three weeks under our belt...
On average we get Mackenzie down for the night around 9ish and she will usually let me sleep until 7am. Yesterday, I actually had to wake her up so I could get her fed before Carter got up. I'm pretty sure it is time for us to remove the wedge, seems as though it is only in the way now!
