Even youth grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31
Current status
Thanks for stopping by! Our little trooper is doing well. He is now walking with out assistance (short distances), nearly running and dancing. It truly is amazing, and it still takes my breath away when I see him on his feet!
Zac's platelet levels have remained at a safe level (about 1/4 of the average child) since he was 3 1/2 months old!
Cai is the protective, helpful older brother...with the exception of those "normal" brotherly love moments;-)
All in all we are doing well, just dealing primarily with "normal" life challenges. We are so pleased to have gone through the past few years to be where we are now. It truly has been the best of times -the worst of times. We thank God, and our friends and family and all of you who have given in so many ways to help us through, we are so grateful!!!

New on this site, hope to post more soon, and maybe move the yahoo post to this site. I hope to make this site more candid, and a place to share some of the "crazy" happenings along the way. Today was one of those days where the unexpected became the theme of the day, and the boys did not have anything to do with it! Last night I was checking the balances on our main account, when I found some transactions that were not supposed to be there. Upon calling my bank this morning, it appears that someone in Mexico has stolen my account # and has been enjoying some travels on us! A trip to the bank to sign the papers for 12 transactions, and to get cash while they closed my card, took up a big part of the day. I hope that is the end of the head ache; they said it should be resolved in 10 days, with the money back in my account. It was a beautiful day and so we played outside for a while. That said, the mail did not get opened until later (after bu sines hours.) There in the mail was a nice little letter saying our insurance has been cancelled due to my husbands recent job loss. This was unexpected, as we were expecting information on Cobra to bridge the gap between jobs. Well, now we cannot talk with anyone until Monday concerning this, and we have to be in Baltimore on Monday for Zac's pre-op for his next major surgery. I think that once again we are being brought to the point of a white flag surrender! What else can we do, but trust. Zac really needs his wire out, and the other leg straightened. Putting it off does not seem to be an option. I asked James tonight, what do we do? He just said "pray." I was reminded this week that Abraham trusted when he took Isaac to the alter of sacrifice, yet he had to be very distraught, but because he trusted, he obeyed. We are there again with our Isaac (Zac) and apparently not only a job, but insurance, and oh, our bank account, that may be susceptible to theft! The Lord gives and takes away, blessed be His name. We are in the refining fire; as this is not fun, nor are we leaping for joy for trials! Although we are trying---count it all joy....I can't wait to see what God has in store!
