Sorry it took me so long to post a new update. Things are going much better! We were in the hospital until Friday evening. They put Blake on a steroid, to help with what we are hoping is just swelling from the radiation. So far-its working. Blake is walking and playing like normal. Thank God!! We are still waiting to hear back from his doctors at MD Anderson. This is one of the down sides to out of state doctors...a lot harder to get a hold of. Now we are trying to find a neuro-oncologist, and its a lot harder than I thought. Kansas city doesnt have any that I have found, so far. Since seeing the amazing difference while in Houston, I am very motivated. lol
This weekend has been pretty nice. Christian took Blake to Nevada, MO Saturday afternoon. To visit her family and to give me some time to get stuff done around the house. Blake is of course having a blast!! I cleaned out the basement and garage. I have 2 HUGE bags im giving to good will, and another 3 HUGE bags to give a friend of mine. Plus a huge bag of trash. I am 'paying it forward', I have been given a lot of clothes and toys for Blake through out his life, and now instead of trying to sell them, I am giving them away to help someone else out. Its kind of my new moto. Pay It Forward. Helping someone feels SO good. I feel so forunate and have had SO many people help us and Blake, I am so happy to be helping a couple friends out. Its amazing how good helping people out can make you feel. :)
Well, I guess thats all for now. I am going to enjoy my much needed kid free time. I almost forgot how good it can feel to be kid-free. Of course I miss him, but its a nice break. Talk to you all soon. Thank you again for all your support!
