.just life.

After a week of being home from our vacation, I am finally starting to feel like I am getting settled again. I think the last bits of laundry and beach paraphernalia are all done and put away. The boys have been keeping me pretty busy each day, so between their craziness and silliness, I am getting things done!

This little boy... drank half a bottle of Children's Motrin last night. He was having a hard time going to bed last night, and when I thought he finally was in for the night, I took a shower, only to find his door open when I came out to go downstairs. Jordan and I found him at the same time- Jordan was coming up and I was going down. Tyler was sitting in the middle of the stairs holding the now empty bottle with the little children's dispenser... looking very guilty. There were little puddles of Motrin on the carpet, his pants, and his face.... poison control was very reassuring that he would not need to have his stomach pumped or die or anything!!! Stinker.


Now that Jack is pulling up and starting to cruise around furniture, and crawling everywhere, Tyler has been trying to get Jack to chase him!! Between the tickles, tackles and hugs from Tyler, Jack is trying to eat everything he can find! My floors have not been cleaner, nor have I been more aware of the need to constantly be vacuuming!

Some pictures from bath time! They both got a kick out of the others crazy hair! I did one on Jack, and Tyler loved it, so when I did it to Tyler, Jack started cracking up! They were just looking at each other laughing! It was precious.




Going apple picking tomorrow! Hopefully we will have some fun pictures to share from that! Otherwise, we have been enjoying this season so much! My boys continue make me laugh and melt my heart everyday. I love the way they just love each other! God is very kind indeed!

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...
