Hudson

Many of you may be wondering how Hudson is handling all of this. The truth is, being two is a blessing. He doesn't really understand what's going on,why his schedule has changed, or why his little brother can't come home. He knows when Tucker or I are away that we are with Davis. He will say "Davis at the hospital to get better.", and he will often ask to go see him, "See Davis?". We do take him to the hospital for short visits. He gets to talk to Davis, hold his hand, and pat his back during tummy time. If anyone has sacrificed the most during all of this, it has to be Hudson.

Because of this, we do everything we can to do fun stuff while Hudson is in Birmingham with us. He has been to the McWane Science Center, the Birmingham Zoo, and a Birmingham Barons baseball game. We also go to Railroad Park a lot. Hudson loves to watch the trains as they pass. I can't tell you what it means to us to have that time together as a family. We can't wait to do all of these fun things with Davis!

 Fun at Railroad Park

 Hudson loved playing with the trains at the McWane Science Center. 

 The water station was a blast!

 Playing the piano just like in the movie "Big".

 He didn't want to leave.

 Checking out the "elepants" at the zoo.

 Train ride at the zoo.

 His favorite part of our zoo trip was feeding the Lorikeets.

Celebrating the first game of the season with Davis.

Another blessing in all of this, is that neither Hudson or Davis will remember any of this. We do our best to keep Hudson's schedule as normal as possible. Even while here in Birmingham, his routine is pretty much the same except he's not at his house.  He has adjusted better than any of us. The good thing is, we know that this season of waiting will not last forever. We will eventually get to go home, and when we do, Davis will be with us. We look forward to that joyous day!
