It is crazy cold here today. -2 right now. I have no idea what the temp was when a wonderful friend shoveled for us. Thank you all! A little bird mentioned that you are all taking turns. What a blessing to be surrounded with such kindness! I I just dropped him off for his blood work. It was an exciting… Read more »
Well, we went in with great spirit and high hopes. Then we had the #$%^ scared out of us. Meeting the surgeon really brought everything front and center. He was wonderful. The office staff was wonderful. Learning about a catheter going in your belly – freaking scary. Since the 24th we have had many ups and downs. This was a… Read more »
Hi, All! I’ll update about our surgeon visit in a bit. Right now we need prayers. We need Jamey’s creatinine to take a big drop. It is at 7. We have a blood test tomorrow and it would give us a little more wiggle room if that 7 could turn into a much lower number.
Heading to a new doctor to learn about our catheter surgery. All smiles and feeling pretty good today!

While we are quite emotional – this time isn’t as scary since we’ve done it before. We are more worried about the result than the procedure. Of course he thinks he’s a comedian in… Read more »
Merry Christmas! Today is our flight back to Colorado. Jamey is feeling well other than being tired from lack of sleep. We woke up and had Christmas with the girls and the McCrary’s. Then we packed up and hit the road. It was certainly tough saying goodbye to everyone when we had just gotten there less than 48 hours prior. The… Read more »
