Baby Update

I had my 32 week check-up today. Time has really flown by. I have only one more two week apart appointment, and we start the weekly ones! Crazy. Everything was great. Strong heartbeat, blood pressure... all the good stuff. I gained 3 lb this past two weeks... So now I am at 16 lbs- so if I gain a pound or so a week from here on out, I will be around 25 lbs, which is ideal for my little frame!

I do feel like my belly resembles a basketball at times! Kind of out there.... the pink spots on my arm, are from the flu shot they made me get! Yuck!

So we were hoping Dr. Apgar would be willing to induce me before Thanksgiving, but he said no. So sad! We have to run the risk of having a Holiday baby after all! The one perk to staying pregnant longer, is that the private rooms at Shady Grove will be completed and open for business November 19! So we want to make it that long at least!

And a week after we started putting Tyler to bed in his big boy room, we think we have successfully transitioned him! He hasn't had any trouble going to bed in that room. He has, however, discovered how to get in and out of the bed by himself!

Last night he was making quite a ruckus in his room, so we went up to see what was going on, and he had been getting in and out of his bed to get books to read. His bed has a few books on it... silly. At least he wasn't doing anything destructive!

These two pictures are from a week ago in his new pj's for his new bed.... he was very excited!

Tali - you look terrific!! And your little man is so cute! I love his big boy room - when we transitioned Aiden into his new room, he was totally thrilled and we didn't have any "issues" at all. Sounds like Tyler will be just as easy for you. Aiden's big boy room has a sports/ball theme, too!!
I'll be thinking about you and praying for you, Jordan and Tyler as you prepare to welcome baby #2 into the family. Not much longer!!! God bless.

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...
