Dear family and friends,

The past few months haven't been easy.  One really hard part of this journey has been having to be separated from our family and friends.  We've missed weddings, birthday parties, meeting newborn cousins, tailgating, and now holiday fun. 
As you all know, Rylynn's transplant means she will be very immuno suppressed for the next few months.  It gets better as time passes, but is something we'll always have to be conscience of.  Since her transplant we've had to restrict visitors even meaning that our siblings haven't seen Ry since she's been well. 
*This has been awful.  I wish Ry could see her aunts and play with her cousins.  I miss them all so much.  It's really, really hard being away from them.

But this is the responsible thing to do.  We have come a long ways and it's not worth risking her well-being.  We are still trying to decide what the holiday season will hold for our family of three and our much larger family too.

But back to the point of this blog.  I have to ask that we hold off on visitors until after the first of the year.  It means so much that many of our friends what to stop by and I'd give anything to catch up with you all, but again it's just not worth it.  So for now, keep sending texts and emails.  We will have to catch up another day, but appreciate knowing ya'll still love us :)
