7 more days and counting....



Today was the first "real" blood draw without the line. Caed did GREAT!! He cried for maybe a second. The nurse was fast.....and his little vein cooperated perfectly. Brandi called later this afternoon and said his labs came back wonderful. Thank you God! His next blood draw will be on Mon. Not sure if that time will go quite as smooth. Now he'll know what to expect.




I have been busy trying to box up (mail) as much as possible back to Celina. There is NO way everything will fit in our car!! So far, I have 4 boxes......and there is much more. We have certainly accumulated lots from living here 2 1/2 months. Plus, we've added an extra child!

We are counting the days!! I am aching SO MUCH for Caleb. You would think since we only have a few more days here it would be easier. Actually I think it's making it harder! I miss him so very much............................. I know Todd is probably struggling worse. It's been a long time since he's gotten to see him!!! We sure need our family to be reunited SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Lori!! How WONDERFUL to see you guys packing up! I can't wait to see your house full of life when we drive by. Bayleigh is chomping at the bit to play with Reagan. She misses her so much. She has their cheerleading picture framed in her room. Please let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do to help. Praise God!
