Progress

I had my 30 week check up this morning. Everything is progressing along smoothly. Little boy had a great heartbeat again, and was kicking the Doppler as we listened. I am measuring perfectly at 30 cm (my belly...) and have not gained any weight this past few weeks! So still at 13 lbs weight gain, which is just crazy to me. The Dr. said, that since my belly is growing, I must be loosing weight- which seems crazy, because I am still eating Double Cheeseburgers all the time! I did, however, lay off the Oreo's! Must be walking up and down the stairs holding Tyler, laundry... who knows!

Next appointment is in two weeks... and we are on the last leg of this journey! It has flown by!

Tyler's big boy room has been so much fun for me to work on... Below is the dresser we got off of Craig's List- pre-paint!

Notice the two different tones on the face of the dresser vs the top! I think it must have been sanded down at one point... so it really needed to be painted...

And after. It was so easy to paint... we got it done in one night. I love it!

And this is Tyler's room with the orange stripe all done....

And with the curtain I just got, and some sport appliqué stickers on the wall... When Tyler saw the wall, he squealed, "BBAAAAALLLLL." He loves his new room so far, and so do I! Who says having boys isn't just so much fun????

I just finished the last coats of paint on the bed (I hope) and plan on moving it over here this week.... we are praying for a smooth transition.... but we will keep you posted as to how that all goes!

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...

.coming home.

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...

.Day by Day.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion says my soul. Therefore I will hope in Him." Lamentations 3:22-24 This has been the cry of my heart these past few days. When thoughts of the future loom ahead and what this is going to look like in a week, month, year are ever present, we are seeking to take things one day at a time. And even as we take it one day at a time, each morning, we are faced with more of the unknown- what the day will bring, how Jack will be feeling, how he will respond to his meds, how he will respond to the staff here, when the nasty side-effects of chemo will begin... the list of unknowns are seemingly endless. Not only is the thought of what the day will bring full of unknowns, but we are also very tired, as we are not sleeping much at night and so we are tempted to view the day through the filter of weariness. So yes, it is a fight each...
