October 23rd was Eden's bronch to check her airway. My mom graciously agreed to go with me to help with the drive and with my two little ones while Eden and I were at the hospital. In order to have some fun with cousins too, we decided to go up a day early and spend some time hanging out and visiting the Children's Museum. The kids had a blast.

| I actually got him to hold still and look! Amazing! |
 |
| Check out her little hand. Cute little poser. |
 |
| Eden and Wren loved pretending to be veterinarians. |
 |
| Bentley moved pretty quick from one exhibit to the next, until he found the ball exhibit. He was entertained here for a very long time. |
 |
| Olivia discovered the suction when she stuck her hand into the tunnel. She thought that was pretty funny. |
 |
| Cooper is adorable, and Olivia loved messing with his pacifier even though it was attached to his shirt. |
 |
| Precious babies! |
 |
| Brody read a bunch of books to my kids, it was lovely! |
As for the medical update - Eden was a champ as usual. She had to fast until her procedure at around 1pm. She was still happy though.

Everything with the bronch went really well. Her airway continues to heal nicely and look really good. Dr. Prager is very happy with it, and didn't have to stretch it or manipulate it in any way. AMAZING! We feel so incredibly blessed to have things working so smoothly this time. He will see her again for the next bronch in early January.
Once we got discharged, our first order of business was getting her a good meal. We went across the street to Panera and she was very excited about getting a grilled cheese sandwich.
 |
| She looks so beautiful. It's crazy to think she just underwent a procedure with general anesthesia. She bounces back so quickly. |
 |
| Before we left for the hospital, Eden was sad she couldn't have breakfast with the other kids. Grandma was very sweet and gave Eden $1 to buy herself a treat when she could eat again. She was delighted when she saw the cookies at Panera. :) |
All around, I just feel so incredibly blessed. I'm grateful for my mom for her willingness to travel and help me so much. I'm grateful for my sister who lets us stay in her house and all that goes along with that. And most especially, I'm grateful for the progress Eden has made and that things are working so smoothly this time. She has been through so much, and it feels so good to leave there with positive news each time. Life is good.
