Thinking of you today--funny how "fresh" the memories are for me as I read your last couple of posts, seems like we were just in your shoes with Maddie and its been almost 6 months. We are praying for a smooth, uncomplicated surgery & recovery as well as peace and comfort for you all. And prayers for the miracle worker, Dr. McMullan (our fav), and for Mason's medical team. This was the hardest one for us...know that we understand and feel your sadness but like you said, it will soon be behind you! Bryan and I were just talking last night how healthy and well Maddie is now with her new Fontan circulation...it has done wonders for her in all areas of development and the ENERGY she has is amazing. Praying for the same results for your Mason. Hang in there...heart hugs.
Love,
Katie, Maddie and family

Loaded Diaper?!?!?

Today's post title comes to you from the one and only Greg Garka... Thanks for the idea babe! As far as Mason is concernced today was another good day for our little man! We made our goal and got up and went on a total of three walks. The last walk of the night he spotted the “playroom” and was interested so we stopped and visited with our neighbors while he played. It was the highlight of the day. His appetite decreased today but that is to be expected since he hadn’t yet had a bowel movement (in 6 days)– however about 60 minutes ago things changed in that department and I am happy to report his bowels are working and back in action… During his echo he was again a crowd pleaser and was on his best behavior. The technician said that he was the best 3 year old she has done. It is so funny; he gets upset when something is about to happen and he doesn’t understand what. He tells us he is scared and then after we explain to him what they are going to do and that it won’t hurt –...

Wordy Wednesday or Wordless Wednesday????

The big question of the day should I be wordy or wordless on Wednesday? If I go WORDY a post might have quotes such as: - When you are through changing you are through - It takes both rain and shuneshine to make a rainbow - If a care is too small to be turned into a prayeer, it is too small to be made into a burden - We make our plans, but the Lord determines out steps. Proverbs 16:19 - The world at its worst needs a church at its best - The essence of generosity is self-sacrifice - Philanthrophy, like chartity must begin at home - A reject opportunity to give is a lost opportunity to recieve If I go WORDLESS I could share my life through photos... Message me, facebook me, call me, leave a comment or talk to me in person either way let me know your thoughts...

Our Day at Children's

Hello all, Kelsey and I spent the morning at Children's Hopsital in Seattle today, what a place! They sure do a good job of trying to make the kids feel comfortable...part of me didn't even feel like I was at a hospital. We met with a Cardiologist, Dr. Vernon, and a Paranaetologist, Dr. Holmgren (yes, Mike Holmgren's daughter). Both of them were very nice and extremely informational. Dr. Vernon did confirm that Mason has HLHS and is a candidate for the Fontan Operations, which are the three stage surgeries he will have to go through to get his heart working as normal as possible. Kelsey and I have been talking about where we would want to do the surgeries in case we weren't comfortable with Seattle Children's. We knew going in that Children's in Seattle is one of the premeir hospitals in the country, but weren't sure how they were compared to other hospital's like University of Michigan with this particular heart disease. I'm glad to say that w...
