Once again, I typed a large updating post only to have the internet connection fail. I really am at the end of my gracious tolerance….enough is enough!! So to be as brief as possible: I just talked to Dw for a second. The doctor said some of his numbers are worse, a few are better…but…

I slept through several text messages and phone calls….gracious we were out of it. The phone rang just after 10am and it was the surgical ward. They wanted us to come right in. Only one problem, we had let him have a little bowl of cereal at 8 because they had said last night that…

Greetings from Iowa City!! We spent 3 hours at the doctors this morning. Dr. Morquende is such a kind man – absolutely wonderful! After examining Isaiah he felt that a different surgery altogether was the best for Isaiah. So tomorrow Isaiah is going to have surgery at 4:30pm. Please pray for grace and peace for…

Short and sweet: Yesterday some sweet friends had a little “Mom of the Groom” party for me. It was at a local coffee shop and it was a surprise – so very thoughtful! I felt very loved. They gave me a gift of necessities of things that every Mama of the Groom neeeds with her….

Yesterday I drove to Greeley with Isaiah and we saw Dr. Hatch. He is really, truly, one of most compassionate, gentle, and kind doctors I have ever met. He is so easy talk to. His staff is exceptionally kind. Dr. Hatch has decided not to do Isaiah’s surgery but instead has made an appointment for…

On a whim I decided it would be really fun to surprise the Uganda team at the airport in Albuquerque four hours (one way) away. I asked Josh and Anna Quiz to go along and they were stoked! My plan: a few minutes into the trip break out the lunch I had packed….eat along the…

It’s that time again, but I have to first mention some really wonderful things that I am grateful and thankful for.

The trip to Greeley went well. Thank you to all who prayed for our safety. The little guy came home with two new colors: bright orange and “powder” blue (Isaiah’s request). We had a good time and pulled in the driveway at 12:42am. Isaiah will most likely have surgery in just a few weeks. It…

I am leaving in a few minutes for Greeley again, but I couldn’t let the day pass without sharing a speck of gratefulness/thankfulness. Albeit short, I can’t resist. I am thankful for watermelon that we enjoyed in our new watermelon bowl the night before Dw, Emma and Graham left. We got the sweet little bowl…
