A whole jumble of stuff

First a little update on Jax. He still sounds like a bull dog, and he's needing more suctioning, but no more fevers. It must just be a good old fashioned cold. We are just waiting to hear more from our hemo doc about the clotting specialist he's going to call in Colorado.

I'm a jumble of feelings right now. We've been through financial ruin since we had Jax. And a lot of you probably know but we got a settlement from his brain injury and are finally climbing out of the hole. It just doesn't seem to be happening as fast as I would like. We've been frantically trying to rebuild Rays credit, it went up but today it went down! What the heck, their so quick to take points away, its crazy. I don't know what to do. We've paid a bunch of bills off, we even opened a credit card, use it once a month for dinner or something, and then pay it off. They say that helps. If anyone has any credit advice, I'll take anything.

My sister-in-law sent me this poem and I thought it was very sweet.


Heaven’s Very Special Child

A meeting was held quite far from earth
It’s time again for another birth.
Said the Angels to the Lord above,
This Special Child will need much love.
His progress may be very slow
Accomplishments he may not show.
And he’ll require extra care,
From the folks he meets down there.
He may not run or laugh or play;
His thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways he won’t adapt,
And he’ll be known as handicapped.
So let’s be careful where he’s sent,
We want his life to be content.
Please Lord, find the parents who
Will do this special job for you.
They will not realize right away,
The leading role they’re asked to play.
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they’ll know the privilege given
In caring for their gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild,
In Heaven’s very Special Child.

I've got some friends on here that you probably know, but need some special prayers tonight too. Miss Zoey is starting her final round of chemo tonight, and it will be a double whammy for her, so pray extra hard for her to fight this like she has all of her other rounds, like a champ. Here's a video from when we visited her. You can't really see Jax but I didn't know Ray was taping or I would have held him up. If you look close you will see Zoey blow us kisses. We got a lot of those that day. Ignore the mommies talking in the background.

Also sweet little Arabella needs prayers. She is the one that is reminding me of what I went through with Jax for 4 months. She is on high vent settings and everytime they even touch her she drops her sats, she's very sick right now, pray for her also.

One more, Jax little Emerson just got her second transplant. Liver, bowell, kidneys, pancreas, all transplanted. She is also very sick right now, and if she rejects this then there will be nothing else that can be done for her. She needs prayers. I know there are many more that I've forgotten, so just pray for everyone. JK

Oh, one more thing, Arna, you better come home from the hospital tomorrow, Jax hasn't played with you in a while and he misses his friend.
