A GREAT-GRAND Heritage

This post is coming a week later than I would have liked... you see, we had the opportunity to visit to Great-Grandparents two weeks ago, and it has been very busy since then.

It was such a treat to visit with our family... both mine and Jordan's. We are so blessed to have family close enough to share a bit of our lives with!

On Mother's Day, we drove up to PA with my parents to visit Grandma Rose and Aunt Trish And Uncle Dave. It is always a joy to spend time with them. I have so many wonderful memories of years past with them, and now am making new ones with my own son. It is just amazing to watch my Grandmother holding my son. It just blesses me so much that God has kept my family close and together over the years.


The next day, we packed up and headed south to somewhere in VA... not sure where we were exactly...good thing I wasn't driving. All I know is that Bob knew the way! So we drove for about 2 1/2 hours to visit Bob's dad for his 80th birthday! It was so special to introduce him to his great grandson! Tyler is a fourth generation Kauflin boy, carrying on the family name!


We are hoping for many more years with these GREAT GRANDPARENTS, and many more such visits! Posted by Picasa

Diagnosis and Grace

Friends- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Psalm46:1 Much has happened since I last wrote only 2 short days ago. We found out much later that night a new diagnosis, that our sweet boy has leukemia . We were not completely shocked but we were certainly shaken. After I posted about what was going on at Shady Grove, and we waited a bit more for some results, and we were informed that we needed to take Jack to Children's Hospital in DC for further testing with specialists. This raised our concern level quite high as you can imagine, that even with a snow storm coming, we were needing to make this trip. I began to google the combination of things they had found in the tests done on our little boy (swollen spleen, low platelet count , swollen lymph nodes) and came up options that were NOT Lyme disease, although a few of these symptoms did also look like Lyme. As a result of the google quest, I came across some concerning outcomes, one of the most

Just too funny

I had to share this funny moment with Tyler. I guess I will always be a cheerleader at heart- so I was cooking dinner and decided to do a little "cheer" of Tyler's name for him to see what he would do.... and he just laughed so hard- it was on the verge of crying! See the little video below!

.Results and Re-Admission.

I am so happy to share that the results from the bone marrow biopsy came back with the results we had hoped and prayed for! They said they found less than 0.1% Leukemic cells in his bone marrow!!! So this is such great news! The prognosis is a good one, and now we get to keep marching on into the next 3 years of making sure the Leukemia does not come back and he is fully in remission! Thank you all so much for all the prayers said on our behalf! I also have the happy report of how last night and this morning went as well... So last night, we woke Jack up at 11:30 to feed him one last time before midnight. He was so sweet and groggy but ate a bunch of nuggets and french fries. We gave him a bottle and put him in bed at midnight and hoped for the best... well, he did not wake up again until 4:45... which was AMAZING for us and him! That was a long stretch for the little guy! After that he cried for a while and Jordan tried distracting him with books and holding him for a while. Jordan w
