Grateful

This morning, my love and I were reflecting on the past year, and how much we have to be grateful for. It truly has been a blessed year, full of God's mercy and kindness to us. We cannot believe that in 24 hours, we will be at the hospital getting ready to welcome Jack!

So much has happened in this past year. It has been a full rich year. It is hard to believe that last year, Tyler wasn't even walking at the annual Turkey Day Football Game. It was a cold, wet, and gray day! So glad today is nicer! We are heading to the game this morning and then to my folks house to celebrate the day with my family. Here is a shot from a year ago!!!
So today, we are so grateful for so many things: our Salvation, our sons, our family, our health, our home, our richly blessed lives, our friends {the private rooms at Shady Grove :) }.... I could go on and on.... God has just been lavishly good to us, and we did not want to miss the opportunity to give Him glory and honor for all the many gifts we have.

We hope you have a wonderful day today, rejoicing in the many blessings God has poured out on your lives as you celebrate with your families!

We will keep you posted tomorrow about the birth of our new little one! Hopefully my sister will be able to keep the blog up to date as to the progress of the day! Thank you for all the prayers and love we have received from so many!

Happy Thanksgiving!

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
