UPDATE..

The Drs. are thinking Austin might have the chicken Pox’s please pray that if he does, Zachary does NOT get them.. I talked to the Transplant team and any sign of Zachary getting them he will be in the hospital on heavy duty IV meds. Check out Zachary and his new Quilt from” Quilts of Love” He loves it !

We had a beach party ….

Playing with sand in the house ( What a mess )

Playing with sand in the house ( What a mess )

The kids had fun playing with moon sand in the house.. It was a BIG mess but worth it. This winter has been long and COLD !!  We are all going NUTS …

I am Home from Chicago… Home sweet HOME !  Kiley did Awesome in her Gymnastic meet ! There were 4,100 gymnast competing from Thursday to Sunday… This was the BIGGEST meet that I have ever seen.

Kiley did AWESOME ! She placed 2nd on floor ,tied for 2nd on beam , 4th on vault, 9th on bars and took 4th on the all around out of her age group. She had so much fun !

This was my 1st time in 6 yrs. that I have been away from Zachary.. It was very hard.. Wade stayed home with the boys .. Wade was pretty busy doing medications ,  filling the feeding pump,  changing ferrel bags , dumping urine and just tryning to keep his head on a straight… He did a great job ! I think he has a better understanding now when he coms home from work and I am all stressed out.

Zachary is doing pretty good his labs are stable and blood pressure are back down again… He has not had a bowel movement in a week so his tummy was pretty BIG ! I gave him a fleet enema today and he had great results.. I think he lost about 5 pounds !

Austin is sick and covered in heivs…. Yesterday as soon as I got home from the Air port I put Austin in the car and drove him to the clinic. The Dr thinks it’s something viral but not sure…When he woke up today  his face was pretty swollen and his body is covered in welts. I feel so bad for him..

Overall we are all good and now it’s the waiting game again to see if maybe one of the potential matches Zachary  and he will have a HERO. One was drawn on last Wednesday and one was drawn on Monday. Hopefully in about 2 weeks we will know the results.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers,

Stacey

Way to go, Kylie! I miss those gymnastic days!! I hope Austin feels better soon, and it isn’t the chicken pox. Yikes. Praying for a match. Erik didn’t match, but my daughter Jessica just got her kit to test! Still getting the word out. Take care.

Chicken Pox can cause massive scarring of the skin that may not clear, that’s bad…

i really hate chicken pox coz it can mess your skin”:.

Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
