Updates
1) The chemo treatment DH's Grandma is getting is really working. She can feel the tumor shrinking. They are going to give her 4 more weeks of chemo before they re-evaluate and figure out when she can have surgery to remove whatever is remaining.
2) Things are really tense with DH's family right now. His mom has 3 other siblings and she feels she is being ganged up on right now, at least tonight anyway. We were supposed to go out to our Grandma's tonight to celebrate Grandpa's 85th Bday. DH has been getting sick and said he didn't want to expose grandma to it (good thing too because he threw up when leaving his moms and called out of work tomorrow). His uncle found out his was sick through his aunt, his mom told her, and called DH to tell me that Abby and I shouldn't go either. So instead of just the 3 of us missing out my mil decided that no one should go out for her dad's b-day. She bought a cake and everything. She was super happy about going, but because DH, Abby, and I were asked not to come, she didn't want to go either. DH and I are so frustrated over the whole thing. This was more of a vent than anything else, but UGH! They check Grandma's #'s every Monday to make sure she is healthy enough to get chemo. That is why this is such a big deal.
3) DH still loves his new job, students, school. He loves it so much that he doesn't want to apply for anything closer to where we live. He plans on staying there his entire teaching career. I am glad he loves his job, but I kinda wish he would try to get a job in town. He commutes 45 mins- 1hr. If he got a job in town he would save time and money. Plus our school district pays for the employees' health insurance.
4) Every now and then we talk about having another baby. DH really would love for Abby to be a big sister and thinks she would be great at it. I think she would be great at it too, but am fine with having just Abby. Last week we were watching something on tv and it reminded DH of how he almost lost me and it really upset him. I still don't know the extent of what doctors were telling my family as they prepped me for the emergency surgery the day after Abby was born. We always come back to the decision that having just Abby is what is best for us. He is so afraid the same thing would happen again and so am I.

Glad to hear about your H's job and how he likes it. I hope it stays that way for as long as possible!

WDW trips: 05/14 (1st trip! Art of Animation; Little Mermaid), 05/15 (Pop Century!). DL Trips: 12/15
And I understand only having Abby. We didn't go through anything life threatening like you did and there are days I'm okay with just having Lily.
