Sooooo Marshall’s cath was full of all kinds of things to make it more interesting. Highlights (?) included our late arrival (oops on me for savoring more time with Marshall), difficulties in even placing the cath, a wait for the book incident I will call “A Fellow Blood Spray,” a question of whether to place […]
Holy Hannah, I never knew Marshall could scream as much as he did since getting his shots on Tuesday. And I never knew how tired tired could be until this week. Eighteen (plus) weeks of not sleeping through the night combined with hourly wake ups made for some tough times. But those times always remind […]
(Pardon the silly hat on our little miracle…I have to protect his skin without eczema triggering & skin irritating sunscreen) He might outweigh us, but we outnumber him 😉
Things here are more busy than any of us ever could have imagined. Raising four wild boys makes the grown ups hustle. A lot. Always, in fact. So I owe you all a huge apology for neglecting to update this as often as I would like. Frankly, I often just don’t have the energy. And […]
For starters, I have to tell you that I know Round 2 is inevitable. But I can’t imagine Marshall going through that again. So when Boston called to let us know when Round 2 would be, I wasn’t really prepared. As a parent, nothing truly prepares you for your child’s illness, injury, surgery, or any […]
A wonderful and helpful mama of a four year old miracle with a heart similar to Marshall’s posted this to Facebook recently. It’s a great read and may help all of us better understand one another. I can’t thank her enough for finding this gem…and for her help, wisdom, and inspiration <3.
Have ever touched the grass ❤ I spent a long time wondering if this moment would happen. And it did. I am sooo incredibly thankful 🙂
Recent developments with our hometown cardiologists have brought to our attention the necessity of having Marshall evaluated by the Boston team. I will spare the details for now and include them in Marshall’s book. In the simplest of terms, it makes more sense to have the people who are supposed to do the second surgery […]
Seth lost. Hard. And Isaac wasn’t even swinging the bat. He was dropping it after swinging. One (shortened) birthday party for Marshall, one E.R. trip, two staples, a popsicle, plus a frantic call from the folks at home because Marshall wouldn’t calm down = One very stressful first-mom-of-four Mother’s Day Thankfully everyone is ok…things could […]
