Howdy!

Hello, all! Sorry we haven't updated in a while, but we've really been kind of quiet right now. Isaiah has started school and is now in the intermediate side (3rd-5th grade). All the teachers and counselors have been super nice. Most of the teachers we've talked with before since both Boo Boo and Tater have both been through the school. So it's a lot of familiar faces and everyone is familiar with Isaiah. Can't say enough for the small town atmosphere. We're constantly checking labs, and this past week we took 13 of them! We're at our year mark, so everyone is a little nervous as numbers continue to fluctuate - but we haven't been back to Omaha in 3 months. Keep those fingers crossed!

Update - Liver numbers still high

Doesn't look too bad for being a sick kid! Here he is taking a pic with his sisters on better days. We've been lucky enough not to have had to return to Omaha, but I believe it is because they don't know what they want to do with him. It's frustrating and pleasant at the same time. Omaha is a wonderful host city and there is always plenty to do while we're there. We've made some good friends and the nurses are always happy to see him.

We're coming up to our year mark, which is a big thing - especially since we have 3 organs now instead of 1. God has directed us this far, and we're in it for the long haul so I think for now we'll enjoy the little things and let God direct the rest.

Auctions over - and just in time... Happy 4th!

Good Game, All! I can't believe the auction did so well. Thank you, whomever you are and all those that made bids. GMM did a great job and I can't thank all of those who have been involved enough. Isaiah looks like he's headed back to Omaha this week as the numbers are really on a roller-coaster. We've got to get things settled down and the team doesn't have a plan at the moment. We've got a scan coming up this week of the entire mid-section. He just doesn't seem himself the last few days.

Just want to take a few moments and also say "Thanks" to the troops. My family also has a brother and family overseas and the 4th is always a good time to say we appreciate what you're doing.

Keep the prayers coming. Thanks.

Gamers for a Cause!

Thanks to Brandon over at GMM Studios, we have another opportunity for helping the cause.

If you're a 40k fan and you're interested in bidding for a truly professionally painted army, this is an awesome deal. I had the models, Brandon had the time and skill, and Isaiah has the cause :)

Numbers are still high, but ...

Biopsy was negative. So now what? He seems to be functioning OK. He's not feeling sick or run down any more than usual and we haven't changed any routines. But his Liver numbers are still 10x's what they're supposed to be, but the biopsy is negative? Really confused, and not a lot of options. We'll continue trudging along and hope for the best as things just keep getting cooky around this place... Or I should say par for the course.

Movie choices...

So, we have a few hours to kill after 7am labs today and before the biopsy.  So I ask Ike if he wants to go see Shrek or Prince of Persia. He informs me he would like to go see the new Selena Gomez movie instead because is looks funny .... Wow.

Back to Omaha - part III

So, liver numbers have consistently run high over the last 10 days and we're on our way back to Omaha. There is a biopsy scheduled for tomorrow and we'll have to wait around a few days to see what they think is going on. Good thing is we're going up in the middle of the week, so we may get back by the weekend!

Bad news is he's got summer school scheduled for next week... Hope we're back.
