No Worries

Well Aidan did remarkably well and it only took about 15 minutes. They did biopsy a few spots to just check for allergies, but other then that no major issues. Thanks for all the prayers!

Breakdown

Well it seems Aidan's G-button is leaking again, but this was suppose to be semi-permanent. This has resulted in some bad irritation on his skin around the stoma. At the moment they are treating it like Jock Itch with some Anti-Fungal powder, but maybe his GI will prescribe something more effective. Over all the family is in good health with a few sniffs and sneezes. We are getting closer and closer to our date with Ariel and all her friends. Thanks for all of your continued prayers and support this has been a crazy two years and I can't believe we will be celebrating a second birthday in a little over a month.

It's coming fast...

So we are 33 days out from our Make A Wish trip and that doesn't seem like a very long time. I think we have planned enough special activities to make this trip special and now wait for it all to fall in place. I do have a surprise or two in store for the whole family if it all works out, but we shall see. If anyone has any advice for DisneyWorld we would be happy to hear it.

Mya's true Make A Wish

So below you will find out what an impact Mya has had on the Magic Kingdom, thanks to Make A Wish.

Appointment with a State Representative

Well my day has been interesting... I met with my local state representative an individual whom I didn't vote for in the recent election, but won none the less. So I figured I might want to sit down with him and discuss the conversations I had with his competitor about Cochlear Implants.

What I wanted to discuss was having a bill passed similar to one in Oregon that states if an insurance company is willing to pay for one Cochlear Implant, then they must fund the second if deemed medically beneficial. I mean if a child or an adult is missing two legs they will cover both, so why not both ears. I wasn't sure what he would say or if he would be willing. He was ready to write the bill, then and there, and start working on getting it done before May. I was impressed, he enjoys fighting insurance he said so we will see if he's all talk or really out to support the hearing impaired.

During our discussion we spoke about the economy, our local school district and such. I mentioned how I had been unemployed for quite some time and recently took a position with a high end grocer here in town. Well it seems the CEO of said company is one of his biggest supporters. He asked if his writing a letter to said individual would help me. I told him it probably wouldn't hurt and he is going to draft a letter to be sent in the next week. This may help me move into management much quicker, we shall see. He stated he was impressed with my desire to help others, even though my child already has both implants. That was nice to hear.

It really is amazing how the Lord works, last night I was kind of down about this whole thing, but a few prayers and time can really change things.

Mya is SIX

Off to school, but she is growing up!

Happy Halloween

Man I really need to do more of this blogging and not so much other internet hunting. I have really gotten the bug to do some halloween themed ideas next year and look forward to crafting with Mya. We put on Aidan's costume and thought I would share:

Will post more later after trick or treating.

I carved a few new pumpkins this year:






Think next year I will try and do a few more for money. I sold four this year. Well enjoy the holiday and get lots of candy!
