Big Improvements
It's so nice to see my "Christian" walking again. He is turning in his ankle quite a bit and is moving pretty slow, but he is managing to get where he needs to go (but resting on his own as well). He actually was able to put his tennis shoe on today!It's...
Lucky Eleven!
Day eleven and my "Christian" is on his way home!He took a few steps today, is on NovoSeven every 4 hours for a few more days and oral morphine every 6 hours.Much progress has been made.Tonight will be the first time my family has been all together at home in eleven,...
Day Eight
"Christian" had a really good yesterday. He was able to take a good bath (he was getting really ripe) played with his trucks (surrounded by them in his bed) and ate fairly well. The big news is that he pooped! Whoo Hoo! Now, if we can...
Day Six
We are in day six of our hospital stay and there is finally a glimmer of hope. "Christian" extended his leg almost completely! His ankle is still swollen but it finally seems to be improving. He is starting to eat but the continuous morphine is still...

It’s Hard to Receive
My "Christian" is having one of the worst bleeds of his five years (started Friday night) and we are in the hospital trying to manage his pain. In the midst of the bleed, we received the phone call you dread...in the wee hours of the morning...that my mother-in-law...
A Great Loss
I have been very fortunate to have a mother-in-law who loved me as her own daughter. Not only did she take me in as her own, but so did all of her brothers and sisters. I have many aunts and uncles and cousins. They aren't "my husband's family," they are mine.Heaven...
A Doozie
This ankle bleed has been one of the worst yet. "Christian" has been on morphine every two hours today and with the half life of the morphine being so short, his pain goes away for a very brief time then he is moaning in pain until his next dose.I hate that I...
Never a Good Time
Bleeds never happen at very good times.When you are walking out the door….On test day….Right after you tell the HTC there have been no bleeds for months…2 am…Last night, my "Christian" started complaining that his ankle was hurting, sure enough the entire night was...
