Yesterday afternoon we were able to bring Ainsley home from the hospital. Although it was an exhausting and scary experience, I've taken away an appreciation for all of the good in my life. I've also gained a new appreciation for families who have children with long-term or terminal illnesses. I can't imagine having to stay in a hospital with a sick child for weeks or even months, or worse yet, I can't imagine watching your child suffer in a hospital if you know the outcome will be bad.
We were lucky. And I only hope that in my moments of frustration, I remember how good things actually are.
