PICTURES TO CUTE NOT TO SHARE

****Hop over to
A Baby Changes Everything, my holdiday blog for a fun new post from an ELF.

I know I said I am on a blog break….but had to show you my day …It’s now well after midnight and the boys are still going strong.  You will see that Austin is doing great….many of you have ask for an update.
 
Just to keep it real…I have had a month that has not been my best.  Between the heat and hormones and a huge serotonin deficit….all this I know because I gave them 7 vials of blood to check everything..I have not been anyone's favorite person…today  after a few days of meds I am beginning to feel like me again…


Parker, Austin and Jack have been here all day and are all spending the night…and we have laughed, and we have ordered off EBAY, and we have watched movies and we have had fast food twice and ice cream.  Austin and Parker have played video games. As in super serious.
  
Jack has taken over my iPhone and ipad…and now he is settled in to watch Dora at one in the morning.  so its been a party…Next time we are going to have Gray….the older boys thought a 2 and 3 year old might be more than they could handle getting into their stuff.  The house looks like a tornado came through….These are the kind of nights memories are made..

The boys trying to decide what to order….a very serious endeavor!

Remember to stop by Terri’s new Etsy Shop…MilandDil Designs.
She has added lots of new things. 

I have a new blogger to introduce you to in my next post…

This is our 30th day since June in the triple digits.  We still have August and September to go…

Fall cannot come soon enough.

GOOD NEWS

***Taking a blog break for a couple of weeks...to finish some projects, get my tree schedule set up (yes, its time) and maybe to find me.  Will still be reading blogs as often as I can...so keep blogging.

Tonight we are a tired family, a thankful family.
 
We have  a sleepy boy,who had an awesome doctor and we were in a wonderful  hospital.  I cannot say enough good things about Arkansas Children's Hospital. 


BEST of all we have a
repaired HEART!



We are a family  blessed with wonderful praying friends, and tonight we are thankful to a great BIG GOD.
 
All is well.
 
Austin is resting in ICU and alert.
Because of the type surgery Austin needed there is a “hole’ in the entry point (groin area) that is twice as large as it would be in an adult who’s had a heart cath.
After seeing the before and after pictures the doctor showed Dana , it was even more evident that this surgery needed to be done NOW.


He has an adult size stint in place…but everything looks perfect.


His blood pressure which was extra high before surgery was very normal tonight. That was the goal.
 
He said I could snap his picture…so I post this with his permission…and then he wanted something from Applebee's. 



He was a super brave boy today.
 
His Mom and Dad are tired but so glad that this is behind them.
 
Thank you again for caring and for praying for Austin and his family.


We feel blessed to call you friend.  We have had two major medical events in our family in the last 10 months.  The word “friend” has taken on a new meaning. 


Have no idea why this picture has lines around it but am too tired to work on it tonight.

For you bloggers that  read Kelly’s Korner,  I did not get to see Kelly today,(she was in a consultation) but I got to meet Miss Harper and little Hollis and Kelly’s parents.  Her Mom and I have been email buddies for awhile and it was so nice to meet her in person. 

A FEW FUN DAYS BEFORE SURGERY

AUSTIN SURROUNDED BY A  LOT OF LOVE!   Gray thinks its funny….He needs to make a call….






I will update after surgery on Thursday….Thanks for all your prayers.


And for a laugh….Jack, AKA, Woody is designing a new clothing line….called “I choose my clothes”!  Coming soon to a store near you.
