It's been a while since I've posted on my blog.  I usually give updates on Todd through Facebook, but I've been thinking about using my blog to give updates on him instead.  I'll use Facebook to let people know that I've updated the blog and other things.

Todd is still working.  I know that some days it's harder for him to get up and go, but he pushes through and does it.  He's my hero.  He still loves to cook for me and I, of course, enjoy it! 😉
He was told at his last visit in May that he's the perfect candidate for a lung transplant.  Besides his lungs, he's a pretty healthy guy.  He's lost 53 pounds since last July.   That's pretty amazing since he can't exercise like he used to.

His next appointment is Friday, July 15th.  He'll have labs drawn, a ct scan, a right heart cath and then see a few doctors.  The day starts early at 7:00 so we hope to be back home at a decent time Friday afternoon.

Have I said how wonderful UAB has been to us? They truly have been amazing! We are so grateful for the staff there.  We were so disappointed when Todd was rejected last year by Vanderbilt, but it has been a blessing.  Just shows that God had a better plan for Todd and He was and still in complete control.

We found out this week that we have an apartment secured for whenTodd gets the call. Yay!!! That's one less worry out of the way.

Please keep praying for Todd as we wait for the call to get his new lungs.

Blessed,
Dawn

To blog or not to blog

Wow! It's been 2 1/2 years since my last blog post.  Facebook and Instagram seem to be the way to keep up with people here lately.  I do still follow a couple of blogs since they update daily.

Maybe one day I'll get back to blogging...who knows.

I'm back!

Yay...it has been 6 months since I have been able to log in.  I hope to get caught up this weekend with pictures.  I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. 

Finally...I am able to blog

For some reason, I have not been able to update my blog.  Every time that I log in, it redirects to a blank page.  It has been very frustrating to say the least.

So to catch you up, we celebrated Mason's 7th birthday last month.  He requested a party at home with the inflatable moon bounce and face painting.  The weather could have not been better.  It was sunny and not too hot.  Everyone seemed to have fun.  Apparently the cake was a hit because there wasn't any left. 

 He looks like he is doing some sort of dance while sliding down.  He had the best time.  He got a ton of gifts and enjoyed having his friends over to play.

I finally got to sit down and rest as the party came to an end. 


Hard to believe he's 7.  Some days I wish he was still 3. :)

Wordless Wednesday

Has it really been 9 years?

March 20, 2001 is a day I will never forget.  It was the day that Shae went home to be with Jesus.  This year seems to be harder than usual, but I will get through it...I always do. 

We will take balloons to the grave tomorrow, one to leave and 3 to release.  I miss that blonde headed, blue eyed boy so much.  

I leave you with a picture of my precious Shae.

  

My boys

Today at Mason's school it was Doughnuts with Dad.  Todd was scheduled to work today, but he took the day off to spend it with Mason.  I think my boys had a good time today.
