Life!

Sometimes Life is so hard and other times its like i am sailing through the days before you know it those precious days are a thingof the past!Lately things have been tough!Our furnace broke at a bad time as we have had some really cold weather!Thankfully my 21 yr old daughter came to the rescue with electric heaters.The man comes to fix our furnace and then informs me that the part that broke is expensive!Not what i want to hear right around the holiday time!I am learning though to be more patient and stop sweating the cost of things and just enjoy what i have!I know God has blessed us greatly with our beautiful kids our beautiful home and is providing the nourishemnt we put in our bodies!For that i am very Thankful!
   When times get tough i just stand back and say a prayer !You never know whats around the next corner of life so i am embracing it more and more each day!Now to get the furnace fixed!

LOVE THIS TIME!

I love the times i can set and cuddle Jaxson!I dont what i will do when he is to big to fit on my lap!I am cherishing every second with my love bug and i would not have it any other way!

MY BLOG DECISION!

I have decided to keep my blog!Itis an outlet for me and since noone reads it i can journal anything i want without the lash back i would get on a media site like facebook!I love my family and like to share how all of them are doing and what is happening in our family!If i want to vent my frustrations i can do that too..So decision made...Now just to get better ate posting!

BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG

I Love my blog!I love it as its like a journal and a way to share my good times and my bad times.I sometimes get to busy with my family to have time to come and post happenings!I also am considering closing it down because why noone reads it anyway LOL.but its is my way to journal what i want and say what i want.so now i am trying to make the decision to end this blog!I stareted this blog when we started the process to adopt and found our Liberian angel and the process of bringing him home!
            Until i get to the point of deciding what to do i will keep it going until then.

STANDER FOR JAXSON!

     Jaxson just recently had surgery!He had a tendon release and club foot fused on both feet!Our biggest hurdle right now is orthopedic doctor wants him in a stander!Our insurances does not pay for one so i am doing everything i can to pay for one!This is the one he needs as its sit to stand! they are of course very pricey!Any ideas on fundraising one would be awesome!I have a gofund me page if any decided to read this blog !Even 5 dollars helps!http://www.gofundme.com/7ak4hc I have been selling things around my house that are not needed anymore and the money goes directly into savings to help pay for this stander!The importance of getting a child standing is beyond this!The longer he is down the more chances he has of getting weaker brittle bones!I dont want that for Jaxson!I want what every parent wants and thats a chance for my son to be able to stand and possibly walk!Would you consider helping?I do not like in anyway to ask for help but comming up with the funds needed for one is nearly impossible right now!Thankyou for taking the time to read this!God bless!

WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED!

I dont write on my blog much anymore...I have failed at it badly..Our home has been so incredibly busy!We needed a handicap van for Jaxson.I was driving a big econoline and lifting my 45 lbs son into this van and then lifting his 65 lb wheelchair into the back.We needed a van so i applied for a grant.I also applied for cars fo heroes in Kansas city.1 month later we got a call from cars for heroes to come to Kansascity an bring the kids with us so they could see what we needed!I was surprised when they announced that we have a a handicap van.I was so happy i cried and cried.Their are wonderful people in this world.Thanks to this amazing organization and the donating family we now can go places alot easier and not break our backs!it ramps him right in the back and we tie the wheelchair down.Alot easier now.We love it and are feeling so very blessed!

BIG CHANGES!

So much has changed around here..i have watched this sweet boy of mine grow and change!Jaxson had hip surgery in december...he is so much more happy now..he also has gotten glasses which now he can see about 5 feet away!He is so much happier !Those awesome smiles and giggles i love so much!My sweet child who came to me very sick and tiny..Now he is happy and healthy!I am so Blessed!

Update on the kids!

Landen is doing very well!He had a horrible sinus infection for a couple weeks and an awful sore throat but he is now back to normal and back to school!I love Landen so much he amazes me!Jaxson oh how sweet he is!he is so much more happier now that he is not in pain with his hips!He is all smiles and is kicking around more and scooting and wiggling!He has been  through so much and has a trooper through it all!The ent sized his trach down a couple weeks ago and it is going very well..Our hopes is to get rid of the trach in the near future!Which is also what Jaxson's Entis working toward too!Both my sweet babys are doing so well!I have so much love for both these boys!They may not be able to tell me verbally they love me !They sure do show it with their eyes and their amazing  smiles!

sleep safe bed!

Jaxson needs  a bed that he can sleep safe and comfortably in...Our insurance does not pay for a sleep safe bed so i am saving as much as i can!I have also set up a page..I do not like asking for help..Its not my thing but i really need your help with this bed!I am adding a link if you would like to donate!

http://www.gofundme.com/7ak4hc! This is what the bed looks like!He is currently sleeping in a very old style hospital bed!Not good for him at all...Please help a few dolars here and there really adds up!

look at these legs!

I cant believe how good he looks..he can move them like he used too!I am going to have one active boy soon once his healing is done and therapy begins.he can now wiggle his toes and move his feet around oh and kick....kicking is new for him...my little boy is pretzel boy no more that  his hips are fixed!

Healing!

Jaxson had his cast on for 3 weeks!He now has this brace and is healing rather nicely..I love watching him move his legs and wiggle his toes.He used to scoot around on the floor until his hips got so bad he just could not!His healing is coming along and he is so much happier.I am so blessed to have my son in our lives!

Birthday Boy!

Jaxson turned 9 yrs old on February 11 th!I can hardly believe he is 9...he had a Thomas the train party and had an awesome party!he got lots of presents and loved the icecream the best!

  Jaxson had double hip surgery on January 24th..the surgery took 5 hrs and was able to repair both hips...she wanted to make his right hip socket deeper but was not able to do so because his baclofen pump was in the way.so in a year we will go see her to see if she can complete the right hip then.she wants him to grow a little more...he is home and doing very well..night time seems to be when he has the most pain..so we are managing his pain the most then.The best thing I have seen is he wiggles his toes!He has never done this before...Jaxson will see the orthopedic doctor on February 17th to get stitches out and possibly the cast off.this little man amazes me so much he is one tough guy!

We are all doing well we had a wonderful Thanksgiving  and a Wonderful Christmas!Now that I can blog again oh how I have missed it..i will share my very dull life...I love blogging even though I know the reading material is not the best!
