April 2014

April was rough.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I left for an in patient diagnosis program in Ohio on April sixth.

Before that, I spent as much quality time with Lilli as I could. We decorated for Easter, dyed Easter eggs, and made a few fun crafts. lilli just LOVES to do "crafs". She even likes to look at Pinterest and make her own versions of the things she makes. It makes my heart happy to see how creative she is!

Life at "Sibcy House" was not what I thought it would be. I went with the understanding that they would do extensive testing to diagnose any physical and mental problems I may have. Turns out, it was manly a mental health facility, and my physical problems were barely addressed at all. It was super frustrating. Yes, I have depression, but no where near bad enough to need to be hospitalized. Howeve, after all was said and done, I had som good experiences there (along with some bad ones), and met some great people (along with some bad ones). Cason was able to come and see me for a day, which was nice. I missed Lilli so much that it hurt, but she was well taken care of while I was gone. She spent a lot of time with both sets of grandparents (my parents came up towards the end of he month), and her Aunt Courtney and Uncle Spencer, as well as Aunt Nicole watched her a lot.  Nicole not only watched her, but was nice enough to keep her entertained as well.  They went to the Draper Aquarium, played outside, went to the dinosaur museum, and "the farm", and went to "Rio 2".

Cason worked on Easter, and Lilli  spent the day with the Dotsons. They had an egg hunt for her, and she ended up with 3 Easter baskets when all was said and done. One from grandma D, one from grandma S, and one from aunt Nicole. She was definitely spoiled!  I feel extremely blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives who love us and who are always willing to help out. Thank you all!
