Finally, A Good Day!

After almost four weeks of hell we finally had a breakthrough, sort of.  On Saturday,  we had planned to go to the pumpkin patch with the boys padrino and his family. While we had been worried we might have to cancel if David was having a rough day or if he was not doing well, other than some serious sibling fighting, he was doing great!

We planned to head to a pumpkin farm near our house because we wanted to be close to home in case we needed to leave early or worse needed to go to the ER yet again (at least this way were close to our doctors). Unfortunately, padrino Danny ended up having to work so he and his family wasn't able to come with us. We did however still decide to head out to the pumpkin farm.  The kids had been looking forward to going and David was actually feeling good for the first time.

So out to Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm we went... It was a beautiful day and the kids had a wonderful time!  David was particularly excited because they had a special horse mounted gun show... He absolutely loved it! Both boys loved running around on the hay bale maze and watching the magician, riding on the hay ride out to the patch to pick out their pumpkins, and just being out having fun.

Despite a couple of crabby moments, David did great!  He was laughing and smiling for the first time in weeks... He was genuinely happy.  He even asked if he could go back to school and karate (not quite yet).  It really was a wonderful day!
