MRI and gettting ready for daddy's shed

I did post about Mark's MRI but I forgot to put up the pictures of him in the hospital. The pictures are before he went in as once he came out he was so groggy that I couldn't hold him and Broc and use a camera.




Thank you for Versed.He was fast asleep before they even took him back.That's the way mommies like it.

One of the boys watching TV together.I had to snap it.




Laying the stone for daddy's shed.It was such a lovely day.













The boys love driving the tractor with daddy.We will post pictures of the shed and play set when they arrive.
Take care everyone.
PS. Not sure if you all got the news but Broc will only see his cardiologist again in a year.We are so happy.

Happenings,Thoughts and Feelings.

Well Little Mark had his MRI this past week and all went well.He was such a brave boy.It was a challenge managing both boys at the hospital as Broc is not used to not being the one attended too.Everytime a nurse or Dr walked into the room he felt like he had to give all the answers.I guess that is what happens when that is all you know.He was however very caring and comforting for his brother and kept telling him that everything will be fine and that he gets a popsicle once he was all done.

The results came back and the fluid in his knee has gone and the cyst is healing well.

Broc has his cardio check up this Tuesday and as usual I am a bundle of nerves.He has been really off the past couple of days.He has been crying for no reason and not sleeping well.He has also been telling us more and more that his heart is getting tired.Of course the worry pot in me thinks the worst, so I am really preparing myself for bad news.Mark seems to think its the heat that is getting to him.Poor guy cannot stay outside playing for more than 20 mins and his heart is racing at 180 and he is as parched as a dessert.

I have a lot of questions for Dr C.How long should he be outside for in the heat? Is it okay for his HR to reach 180 while he is playing for only 15-20min?How is his valve holding up?and many more........

He will also be seeing a Urologist on Friday as we thought he had a small uro. problem but it may be a little bigger than we thought.As if we really need another specialist to go to.Another issue we face is that if he needs any surgical approach then we have to go to Riley.He cannot just go to the local hospital like Mark does, we have to take a whole trip to the Children's Hospital even if its a very minor procedure.

Lots of things happening in the next couple months.We are going to be learning a lot more about the chromosome disorder that Broc and I both have to.We are very happy to learn anymore that can help us take better care of him or find better care for him.

Thank you for all the support our readers have given us.We really appreciate it.

The many pics that I promised you....

First we have all the pics from Memorial Day Weekend.We had a family gathering and then the following day we went to a friends house.There was no swimming pool but the boys were soaked. Give kids a hose and a basin and you have a load of fun.


























They were so excited to see Cayla and Colton and their dogs too.

We also have pics of the cousins graduation.Some pics are not that great but the only way we could capture the moment.We also have some surprise pics.Leave us a message if you can spot a family member in the black and white pics.Have fun looking.


















On Sunday we had the kids over and took some more pics.Little Bentley is sitting by himself and pulling himself up.He is growing up so fast.












Hope you enjoyed looking at all our memories.Till next time.....
