Summer Time!

Summer is in full swing here. We have been busy, Jw played baseball he had a fun season. Joshlynn finished up this season of dance it was amazing. Austin's knee surgery went great he is a trooper. Kim and I have been busy working, We took June off from treatment it was much needed. Excited to enjoy the 4th then we will be off to Denver.  

Here in Denver for treatment #7! This past week Austin must have been board with his normal medical routine. He decided to try a knee injury, playing coed football. Wednesday went to 3 Doctor appointments and had a MRI. Today got the results torn meniscus and LCL we meet with the surgeon Thursday. He will have yet another surgery. He is on crutches now and after surgery has to be off his leg for 4-6 weeks. Really thinking of putting this kid in a bubble. I don't know how much more he can handle. Just kidding he has great spirits he loves being a gimp.  

I have been MIA

I have been MIA! Sorry I have not been blogging, like I should. We had treatment #5 in March. It went well, he did great. The Doctor wants him to have an MRI next time, feels we may be half done. Yipee! On are way there I left my purse at the restaurant we stopped to eat at in Grand Junction. I didn't realize it until we were in Denver major panic set in and a few phone calls and my purse was safe and locked in the safe where it would remain until we picked up the next day. Then back home JW has something stuck in his eye. So grateful for loving Grandparents to take care of him at home. And take him to the Doctor to get this object out of his eye. This round was a stressful and emotional for me not only because of the treatment,but everything surrounding it. A lot of things factor in when a family deals with medical situations like this. For me as the Mother I want to be there for everyone. And....yes basically fix it all so to speak. I was sitting there this time in pre-op with Austin and there is a little guy just screaming and crying. It was all I could take tears just fell down my checks my heart ached for him, for Austin, for Jw being home dealing with his eye, for Joshlynn being strong for Austin helping Jw. I felt like having a complete melt down right here and now. My mind went places I didn't want it to go. And then Heavenly Father sent yet another tender mercy. Our Nurse told us last week a girl about Austin's age completed her last treatment. She said there "is an end in sight" then the news came from the Doctor, and I felt so much love and peace. When we got home we seem to just be busy as ever. Preparing for treatment #6 we will leave in a few weeks.    

Round 4

We are here in Denver! Ready for treatment #4 we will be leaving soon for the hospital. The drive was good until Veil then it was not good. We saw a car on its top, you could only see the wheels the rest was buried in snow. There were a few cars already stopping, so we drove on. We hope and pray that everyone was alright. It is scary to travel sometimes. Austin is ready to tackle # 4! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!
