We an absolute awesome time in South Africa as I am sure you can see by all the pics that were taken.Lots of memories were made and of course lots of new friends for the boys too and mommy and daddy.
It was great catching up with old friends too and seeing how they are with their children. Soon we will all be together. The boys loved spending time with Granny and Grandad.Broc is up every morning asking for his boveril on toast that Grandad used to make him and Little Mark is wondering where the rusks are. Mommy has to hunt down a recipe for home made rusks like Granny has at her house.
They boys are still trying to play catch up with homework but they are doing well. I worked in Marks classroom yesterday and he gave a little speech about his shark tooth necklace.I almost call it the dreaded necklace as it took us forever to get him one. All the children were using their pencils that he gave them too.Thanks Mix for such a cool idea for them.
Our flight home was less than pleasant but that will be a post on its own. At least we made it home safe and sound.
Broc has been to see another I.D. Dr which has come up with a new approach to his infections that he gets.We are hoping this will help him considerably and that he will be missing much less school.If the approach works then we are certain what we are dealing with ,otherwise its back to the drawing board for them.We also have 2 other Drs thinking outside the box too.We are very eager to see if they come up with anything too.Broc will also be having some labs done on very rare periodic fever syndromes.
Our ultimate goal is to keep him as healthy as we can and not have him miss so much school. We would also like for him to have as "normal" as a life as he can with all his special needs.
A big thank you to my mom and dad and sisters who we stayed with and to all the friends and family that we enjoyed company with.As I said many memories were made and will never be forgotten.
We love you all.
Loved all the pictures you posted--looks like all of you had a great time :)
ReplyDeleteSo what new approach are they doing with Broc? And what do they think it is??
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking but we are not saying anything at the moment.We will tell when we feel the time is right.
DeleteOh dear, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so nosy. I've followed Broc's story here and on Baby Center. My apologies. I wish you good luck and I hope they can find a answer for Broc.
DeleteThats okay we just don't want to jump the gun so to speak.Thank you for your concern.
