Is Anything Safe Anymore

Davin's Surgery

Davin's surgery went well yesterday. The good news is that they doctors were able to see what we have been reporting to them. Now we have medical documentation that there is a reason he is getting recurrent croup and laryngitis. He had marked inflammation on his larynx and his trachea was riddled with tinny bumps. His lungs looked great so his inflammation is located in his upper respiratory tract. They sent several biopsies to a pathologist so hopefully they will reveal more information. The difficult news is that they were not sure exactly how to treat what they saw. There is just not enough documented about TRAPS to say definitely that it is the reason for his respiratory concerns. More often kids with uncontrolled GERD have similar findings. The hope is that by treating him for GERD, the recurrent croup, sinus and larynx inflammation will disappear. I sure hope so, however, my gut tells me that this is not what the problem is. Time will tell, so for now we have added two more medications to his routine. If anyone has had experience with this or any insight, I would love to hear from you. Davin is struggling a little still with his breathing, but he should get better soon! Here is to hoping:)

Yard Sale Sucess!

Thank you to everyone for all your help with the yard sale, it was a huge success! We raised enough money for two plane tickets and maybe a little more. I am very grateful for family and close friends who, without them, we would have nothing. Thanks again for all your love and support!

Change in Yard Sale Date

So we just decided to change the yard sale to next Friday, May 8th from 10am-7pm. The bad weather and a friends illness has inspired the change, hope you get to feeling better soon. Thanks to all who have supported us and our efforts. We appreciate your love.

This is the boys with their cousin Ethan. So much fun when they get together. We love having him around. Now if I can just get my sister Holly to come visit more often, we would be in business.

Holly & Mike's little girl would have been 2 last month. In honor of Aubrielle's birthday we let pink balloons go so she could get her happy birthday message in heaven. We love and miss you! Happy Birthday Aubrielle!
