Put your foot down


Liz's feet hurt a lot today, she can hardly walk. Frustrating, since she otherwise feels relatively OK. Besides the exhaustion and dizziness of course. We're praying that the foot pain subsides so she can walk around more. She did brave one outing to take Melissa to the airport via a drive through 'downtown' Plainfield, up Lake Shore Drive, and down Michigan Avenue. Some fun pics from the day:

 Baby 'Blue Steel' Eli




I fed Eli something other than formula for the first time today. Sweet potatoes mixed with rice cereal and water. Cohen asked if he could try -- first dad reaction was "NO" but I thought better of it and said "SURE!" Here's the result:

I love this family. Here's to Liz's feet deciding to play ball tomorrow.

Go Team Liz.

  1. Such a good looking family! I am sorry to hear about Liz's feet. Hoping and praying the side effects will lessen.

  2. I love all the pics. Especially the one of Liz and Aaron, you guys are amazing. I got a big smile out of Cohen feeding Eli. What a great brother, looks like Eli really enjoys his big brother too. Loved how Cohen was talking to him. Love it!!!

    Boo to Liz's feet still hurting. Hope that gets better each day. Glad you could go with Mel to the airport.
    love you guys.

  4. Aaron--see if you can use your fantastic negotiation skills to get your lovely wife a prescription for Lyrica. Another good choice is Cymbalta. I've used both and found good results for my neuropathic pain. Also beefing up on dissolvable B12 vitamins and lots of Omega 3 will help heal the sheathing in her nerves. Start adding an avocado everyday to her shake as well. Don't be afraid to overdose! Go Team Liz!

  5. Just noticed the blue steel caption - awesome.

    Thinking of you guys. And every so often throw your name into the prayer roll at Duke Chapel - diversifying the support portfolio with some Methodists, if you will.
