.Tyler turns 5.

It can hardly seem possible that I overlooked this post! It has been in my draft folder for almost 3 months! My big little boy, is a month away from being 5 1/2! He seems to be getting so mature, so big, and it has been happening so fast. I think that he has hit a growth spurt in a major way, eating all day long, constantly telling me how hungry he is. He just seems so big to me!

He has gotten to the size, where snuggling him is a little clumsy. Like he is too big to fit in my arms and lap anymore, and doesn't really want to sit there for too long anyhow! He still is my little sweetie though, and I grab snuggles from him when I can. He has become such a great helper to me both with Jack and Dylan. Whenever Dylan is naughty, or trying to splash in the potty, or unroll the toilet paper, Tyler is on the run to save the day!

It is hard to believe he will be entering Kindergarten next year. Where has the time gone? There were so many moments, when pregnant with Tyler, and our lives were about to change to much, I had no idea how much, but I knew it would be quite a change! He was a perfect baby, and such an obedient toddler. But then he got a little older and also got a younger brother.... He is dramatic, and loves to be around people, and loves to talk, and sing, and dance, and is clever, and inquisitive. He asks questions about everything, and loves to try to figure things out on his own. He is a special little guy.

I really cannot wait to see him as a young man. I really love him as a boy... he is going to make one lady very happy one day... a very very long time from now!

I love you little buddy. I am so grateful for the gift you are to our family and the joy you bring to your daddy and me. We are a blessed family to have you.




he was singing....

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...
