Our new favorite number is...

I'll give you a hint.....


Did you guess??? It is THREE! And the reason we now love that number..... drum roll please.... is that, Lord willing, we are going to have 3 kids in about 8 months!

I don't know about you, but I am still in shock! Still crazy surprised, and don't really know what to say! I am getting more and more excited each day that passes, and grateful every time I feel queasy and exhausted (which both seem to be happening more often than not!). God has a way of doing things that we cannot prepare for or would not have planed, and yet I know this new life is surely from his hand, and could not be more grateful! I can hardly believe we have been blessed with another little one to care for, to love on and to adore. God is kind in his blessings.

So, Lord willing, this new addition to our lives, will be making an appearance some time in November! I think I am 7 weeks along tomorrow... but my first Dr.'s appointment is not for two more weeks. This baby and Jack will be exactly 2 years apart! Wow! I still cannot believe it! Here is the proof I keep looking at over and over and over again!

I love how one postive test never is enough...I think I took 6 the first time and 4 the second. Maybe when we hit our third baby only 2 will be enough. :) I'm absolutely thrilled for you, my friend...and glad you'll be with the in-laws during the first trimester. What a blessing!!!!

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...
