the things he gets into

Tyler is beginning to show his mischievous side these days... getting into things and making messes. I think he may have been taking notes from one of his cousins...

Just yesterday, I was making breakfast and he opened the pantry door and began eating Cheerios out of the box.... only to get greedy and turn the box upside down and pour out all of them! I came around the corner to the sound of shaking, and him holding the box with both arms in the air shaking it up and down.

I tried not to laugh!

He has also discovered how much fun it is to go through all of mommy's things. He really likes to do this in the bathroom. He goes straight for the cabinet, and starts taking things out.

Like cotton balls, and tissues, and toilet paper...

After he has taken what he wants out, he just sits down and plays with it all!

He found some of his "dishes" and began playing the drums on them, then eating them...

And the grossest of all, is that he is very curious about the things that are in the trash cans...
I try to discourage this as much as I can, making it a "No Touch" but he is just so curious... He even has taken out stinky diapers and thrown them on the ground around him!!! Uggg!

This is the... "Tyler, what are you doing, you little rascal!" Face....

And I have a feeling this is just the beginning of things I will find him into!!!

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

.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

Well, the past 24 hours have changed things again for us! The biggest update, is that we are being discharged tomorrow afternoon some time! The reason this is so crazy is that the Dr. who was on the floor yesterday, was telling us she wanted to keep us here for the entire first month of Jack's treatment. We had begun to think through how we could do this as a family and all the changes that would entail.... and then our nurse came in this morning and told us she was pretty certain we were going home, as early as today if we wanted!! Let me tell you about the past three days that lead up to this decision of our doctor. Firstly, you should know that when Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia, he had a blast count in his blood of 37. That count is now at ZERO!!!! After the central line was put in on Thursday, they began his chemo treatments Friday. He had been having a fever up until that time. He has responded so well to the chemo, and other medications, that he has been fever free since
