Allie continues to be sick, poor sweetie. Her spirits were pretty good all day despite the runniest nose ever! She is also a monkey by the way. She "gets" everything that the big kids do and follows along as best she can. She is standing on her own now, not taking steps yet, but can stand indefinitely! She enjoys crawling around the house with my kitchen towels over her head, knocking down stacks of diapers in the nursery, and eating scraps of food left behind on the floor after meals. I joke that with the 4th baby you don't technically have to feed them, they find a way to survive eating whats on the floor...ha!
Tomorrow is our appointment with Dr. Rubery the spinal surgeon. Matt, Brady, and I will be leaving at 8am for the 9am appointment. We are praying the prognosis for Brady's spine is better than we expect. Either way, we are praying that God will work miracles in this area and allow Brady to grow big and strong without any restrictions on what he can do! Isn't it cool that God can overcome any prognosis?
So after 12 hours with my 4 little zoo creatures, I am tired, but certainly just being home all day helped to restore my spirit:) My kids are amazing, totally wacky, but amazing!!!

It's all about firefighters around here!
Today's cancer fact: Only about 20% of adults with cancer show evidence that the disease has spread to distant sites on the body at diagnosis yet 80% of children are diagnosed with advanced disease.
That statistic causes me to just stop, and thank God for Brady's "early" diagnosis. This is just not the case in SO many instances of childhood cancer. Thank God that Brady was showing a symptom (not walking) so that we knew something was wrong.
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday...
Glad it was a better day today, though I'm sure not without it's challenges. :o) Chasing monkeys is hard work!! Sophie made two huge whole body-whole area messes today. Ugh. Monkey children. They drive you nuts, but at least it's interesting! :o)

ReplyDeleteLots of love to you all
Hey Megan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh, all of us triplet moms can relate and we knew it was only a matter of time! When Steven, Chad and Ally were about 2 I had to buy harnesses and strap them into their high chairs or they'd hang from them. Babies 'r us sells them for a few bucks they zipper up the back and have straps that you attach to wherever you want them to stay. Good luck the table and counters were the worst!
