Views from our hotel room. It was great to be close to the ocean again.Joel and I went on a vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in February. It was wonderful! Joel won the trip through his job and it couldn't have come at a better time. We had been struggling with Eryn's medical issues since November and I was completely worn out from all of the doctor visits, tests and the stress involved. So needless to say, it was a much needed break. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed some real rest and relaxation.
One of the best parts of the trip was re-connecting with Joel. We were able to remember how much we enjoy being together. I also loved being able to read non-stop. I read The Hunger Games obsessively. It was so good. When I finished, I made Joel read it, while I read the second book. He loved the series as well.
Thanks to my parents who took over our kids for five days. They learned for weeks leading up to the trip how to catheterize Lily, how to follow Eryn's bladder schedule, how to care for Eryn's urine bag at night, how to dispense Eryn and Joseph's medicine and all of the other details of my kids needs. They took perfect care of the kids and really helped me to feel comfortable leaving.
