42 Weeks

Well, it has been quite a busy week. Caroline went for her 6 mo. follow up with the urologist last Thurs. Everything is going great for now, so if nothing happens in the meantime she won't have to return for another 6 months, but that's when she'll have to do the big yucky tests again. Between Friday and today I've taken Chris to 3 different doctors (including a trip to the ER that lasted until 3 am!) because he has done something horrible to his shoulder. He has been in excruciating pain and yet still we have no definitive answer. He will go for physical therapy tomorrow and try that for a few weeks and see if it helps. If not, they may have to do exploratory surgery as they think his labrum is torn. Yesterday, I took Mom up to Duke and back. She got a great report and we thank God so much for that! Unfortunately, it looks like my dad's brother that has the same kidney cancer as my dad will probably pass away any day now. This has been quite an emotional, busy week for me trying to keep everybody in positive spirits and shuttle them back and forth to various doctors! I am so grateful for all of our family that has stepped in to help day and night. It really means a lot to us. My motto is "one day at a time," so that's what we're going to do. God continues to send us little blessings each and every day...you can see some of them in these pics! :) Caroline is quite a ham. She imitates us all the time. She has this toy where if she presses Farmer Tad he will play his banjo. She will start bobbing up and down like she's dancing and stomp her foot because she's seen us do it. I've tried to catch her on video doing it, but no luck yet. Watch out for that in the coming weeks hopefully!
