Jaren's latest Blood Counts

Just want to let you all know that Jaren has been cleared at this point. His Blood Counts are back above Normal and we are Praising God for that. He is not out of the woods in the fact that the next time he gets sick we have to have blood work done to makes sure this is not a cycle illness. In that case he would be diagnosed with Cyclic Neutropenia. A Childhood illness that he will grow out of but would be in the hospital every time he got sick and numbers Dropped. If that is all we have to deal with then we would be great-full.
Thanks All for your prayers!

Jaren was in the hospital

Jaren spent the last 5 days between Beaver Medical center and PIT Children's hospital. I will post later about all of that. It was a rollercoaster ride I don't want to face again. His Blood counts went low and some scary names of illnesses went around but the counts are coming up now. So hoping things stay up. Continue to pray for him and us!

Vacation

We are in Montana with some of my family right now. It is cold, snowy and icy, but we are enjoying our time. Last saturday we took the kids to McCormick Park, those from Missoula would know where I am talking about. Anyway it is not much of a hill but the kids really enjoyed it. This week it is too cold really to have the kids out much. around 0 at night and high of 10 today. Hopefully when we get home I will be able to get some pics on here of our trip.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! Hope this is a good year for you all! With God on our side we can rejoice that He knows the future.

Merry Christmas

Just want to say Merry Christmas to everyone. Had a good day. We did Christmas yesterday and today with Dan's Family and then drove home from MI to open our gifts here tonight. It was so fun watching Jaren open his gifts.


Happy Birthday JESUS!

One Sick little Boy

Well this has been one incredibly long week. Monday Jaren started running a fever of 102.5 and with meds and all it was not coming down. Monday night it went up to 103.6 and the next morning, despite the snow on the roads we slowly went to the dr. He didn't find a certain thing wrong with him so we came home.
Tuesday night I did not get to bed for the 1st time till 6am. Jaren was up most of the time. Dan went on to school that morning but I called him around 10am to have him come home so we could take Jaren in again. The Dr. office wanted us to go to the hospital because Jaren would need treatments that the Dr. office couldn't give him. SO we spent several hours there. He was diagnosed with severe Croup and we were sent home with Steroids and Breathing treatments.
He is doing better but when we went back to the Dr. today they gave him more steroids to make sure the swelling stays down around his voice box. Croup is the baby's form of Laryngitis. He seems to be on the mend but this Mommy will be glad when it is over.

I know that Winter has not officially begun but we have had snow since Wednesday morning and it is snowing right now. Jaren really doesn't know what to think of the cold, wet stuff on the ground. He is liking it more now. The first day we went out and he was kinda scared. Maybe just because it was different.

The odds to having the cold means Jaren doesn't get to go out much. He loves the outdoors and he cries at the door wondering why he can't go out. So I guess we have to settle going to the Mall more and letting him walk around with his harness on.

Tonight I he got on the Piano Bench and was flipping thru pages of my songs and then he would play a little and then turn to another page and play some more. I got some pics of him doing that. Now I need to get them all downloaded.
