Hello everyone! I am sorry I havent written an update in so long. Geez! Things have been really good. Blake has returned to Rehab. He acutally is doing really well! He hadnt regressed as much as I though. So thats really great! Blake is getting a electro-shock machine to stimulate his muscles. On Friday the therapist are going to show me how to use it. I am pretty excited to be trying something new. He calls it the 'tickle machine'. I am hoping it will help his brain register with his arm a little better. Then in November Blake will get his 3rd session of Botox. Followed by some intensive therapy. Right now we are going to Rehab 3 times a week from 9-2. He is enjoying his sessions and he loves his therapists!
This is actually a really busy week for us. Saturday at 10am, Make-A-Wish is going to be revealing Blake's wish! So anyone who would like to come out-please do! They are picking us up Friday night around 5 and taking us overnight somewhere, then bringing us home at 10am on Sat. We dont know where they are going to take us-lol. Its hard for me to not know details...but fun and exciting at the same time! I can hardly wait for Saturday to be here.
Then on Sunday morning we leave for Houston, TX. Blake has an apt on Monday with opthamology, then MRI and follow up visit on Tues. We hopefully will be returning on Wed. The plan right now is to fly Angel Flight. However, they were having a hard time finding a pilot to fly all 3 of us. So we are keeping our fingers crossed. Worst case we will have to drive. lol I am praying that the MRI will show his tumor being stable. I know how unpredictable they can be, so I keep praying for Blakes to be stable. I am looking forward to spending time with my Houston Family. Blake has been talking about them, so I know he will be excited to see them as well. And if we get to fly-he is going to be so excited. It will be his first time flying. I just think that would make this one of the best weekends in his life so far: a playground and a ride in an airplane. lol Talk about exciteing! Such a lucky kid!
I know how you all have been praying for us, and I want to ask a favor of you. While we were in Houston, we made several friends. Its was like we became a family. Unfortunetly, one of the little boys we met went to heaven this morning. You can read his story at Declansjourney.com. I would really appreciate it if you could all keep his family in your prayers. I cant imagine losing Blake, and it breaks my heart knowing that Declan didnt make it. He was such a strong little boy, and had the best smile. I would really appreciate it! Declan's Journey
