A fun Day!!!

The boys had 2 days off this week. I guess it's called Fall Break. Both boys had a wonderful report card. Third Grade has been a huge jump for Mark and he has had a really hard time transitioning.It was a little rough in the beginning but he is doing very well now. He had wonderful grades. He is not happy with them as he wanted all A's like he got in Second Grade but we had to explain that its okay not to get an A for everything. The homework is more intense this year. Its not more just maybe more time consuming for him.

Broc has done really well too. He was graded on all the work that him and I worked on at home. His teacher said that he has transitioned very well into school again. He only attended for 3 days. He will go back next week again for 2 days only.

Yesterday we took the boys with some friends for a fun day. We did mini-golf in the dark. That was pretty cool. Then we went bowling and lastly we ended our day at the boys favorite park.

These two pics are now and then. They boys had their pics taken in these exact same spots when they were 1 and 2 years old. Now they are 7 and 8yrs old. I so wish time could stand still. We loved that age with the boys. 

 

We are so happy that we had such a great day cause little did we know that Broc would be having his procedure 5 days later. We got the call yesterday to say that Broc will be having his angiogram this coming week. We were hoping that it was going to be later so that Mark could come with me but unfortunately the Dr that knows Broc and will be best for his procedure is retiring in Dec and they wanted to get Broc scheduled before he left.

Mark and I are very worried about the results of this procedure. We were told that if there is a blockage they would not be able to stent anything as they do not stent children with these issues so Broc could be looking at vascular surgery again OR if this is a bone issue he could be looking at an orthopedic surgery. Either way the news will not be good.

Please pray for strength and comfort for us as we go through this and that Mark,I and the Drs will make the best decision for Broc. Also please pray that Lil Mark has a calm heart and that his anxiety doesn't consume him. He has had to be so brave lately and we know that he worries all the time esp when his Buddy is not with him. He has really enjoyed going to school with his Buddy.

Thank you everyone for all your love and support.
