nine

Friday September 12, 2014

Today Nick turned NINE!! I can't believe how fast time has gone. I am sad and yet excited to see all that God has planned for him. I am so proud of the little man he is becoming.

Nicholas,

Nine years ago today was one of the happiest days of my life. That day I held a tiny miracle in my arms for the first time. I will never forget the love I felt for you at that moment. I love you more than you will ever know. Being your mom is one of the best gifts I could have ever been given. I am so thankful that I am your mom. I am so proud of you and I can't wait to see what you learn this year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!!!!  I love you!!

Aaron is doing much better. He is still having seizures and sleeps all the time but when he is awake he is much more alert. His cough still sounds awful but it is much better. His sodium level has been high and his platelets were very low but he fought through it all without a long hospital stay. He sees Dr K (Neuro) Wednesday and hopefully she can try and get these seizures under control. I LOVE this sweet little boy. Oh how I have missed his sweet giggle, hugs and kisses. So thankful he is doing better.

a snow day??

Wednesday September 3, 2014

My boys were so excited to have a 2 hour delay this morning. When I told them Nick said "What?? a snow day already??" Too cute. Keagan kept asking "Do I still get to go to school today?" Once they had it all figured out they were so excited to have all the extra play time this morning. I LOVED having them home longer even though they seemed to drag out EVERY toy before we left for the bus stop.

feeling better

Monday September 1, 2014

My sweet Aaron is finally starting to feel better. He still has a cough and his temp is still low at 96.1 but he is much more alert today. He wanted to get down on the floor and even asked for his ball. Once he was on the floor he crawled to the kitchen. That used all the energy he had left. He just sat there for a little while and then took a nap. I am so thankful that he was able to fight through everything and not end up in the hospital. He still has a way to go and we still need to lower his Onfi and get his seizures back under control but he is doing much better.

Taevon is also feeling better. He is coughing less and is in a much better mood.  I am so glad that he did not get any worse. I am not looking forward to this years flu season. I am praying that we get through it without any hospital stays this time.

family fun

Sunday August 31, 2014

We had family game night tonight. The boys choose to play the Kinect and we played a carnival game. It was a lot of fun. The boys giggled the whole time.

Aaron is feeling a little better today. His temp is still fluctuating a lot and he is still needing to be suctioned, but he is a little  more alert. Poor Taevon was up a lot last night.  He has a cold now and does not have a very effective couch. He chokes and it scares him, so he cries and make sit worse. Poor baby just wanted to be held until about 1am. He seems to be better this morning. Hopefully they will sleep better tonight because I am so tired!!

The boys played miniature golf tonight. They loved the volcano course. Nick had 4 or 5 holes in one and Keag had 2!! I LOVE my family.

growing up

My sweet little Nicholas is growing up so fast. He went to his first Fantasy Football draft today. He was beyond excited.
