Good News

Well we took Joseph in to the hospital at 6:30 AM yesterday. Around 7:30 they took him back and in about 15 min Dr. Corey called down to talk to us. He informed us that Joseph eye look alot better then he thought . It was clearing up really well and there was no need at this time to do surgery on his eye. Hurray! By 8AM Jospeh was back in the room with us and he took about 2 hours to wake up so we could head home. He did really well and was so brave. But he did insist on Jeremiah buying him another Transformer because he was brave. So now we will be going in to see the regular eye doctor to have him check out how well Joseph is seeing and see if we need to do anything else (like putting a patch over his right eye to make his left eye stronger). We are just so happy that things are looking up for him and he is healing so well. We will be heading back to see Dr. Corey in a couple weeks just to make sure things are stilling going well and because there is a chance of the Uvities coming back. Thank you all for your prayers and fasting. We are so blessed to have so many people who love us.

Update on Joseph

I just realized I haven't posted anything for quite some time. So I thought I would do a quick update. Joseph went to see the doctor last Friday. His eye is looking ok but since he is a 4 yr boy he is pretty squirmy. So we are taking him into the hospital tomorrow morning so they can put him under and look at his eye. Doctor Corey is planning if Joseph eye is not improved a great deal to do surgery on his eye as well tomorrow. Jeremiah thinks it is a pretty big chance he will be having the surgery. So I will keep everyone posted.

Here comes the Tooth Fairy

William lost his first tooth. It was very exciting. It had been loose for awhile. And after William woke us up at 2am to inform us his tooth was loose and then woke up his brother and wouldn't go back to bed until about 4am I desided it was time for it to come out. Well I pulled on it some and loosen it up pretty good then William pulled it out the rest of the way. He was so excited for the Tooth Fairy to come, who ended up leaving him a whole quarter. He has great plans for this quarter, which are mainly going to the store and buying candy.

Happy May Day

May Day has always been a special day for me. I was thinking why I look forward to such a day when most people don't celebrate it or even realize it exsist. I came to a conclusion that is because of my mother. Every year (maybe not every year but that is how I remember it and thats how I like it) my mom would help us make little baskets and we would fill them with flowers and/or treats. Then we would pick who we wanted to bring it to and leave it on their door step, ring the door bell and run. It was always so exciting to me. I realize now that it was my earliest memory of service. My mom was so good about service. She has always been such a good example to me. What a blessing it was to be taught service at a young age and to feel the joy of making others happy. I love you Mom. Thank you for all you have done for me.
