Logan 5 Months

What a fun month.  It is hardf to believe its been 5 months since you were born.  You are starting to smile a whole lot more.  You found your feet too.  Grabbed it and stuck it straight in your mouth.  Let the games begin.  Sleeping has gotten better and I just can't get over how much you look like your brother.  










This pic absolutely cracks me up.  Michael did nothing but hold you and you screamed like he was about to steal you.  His face is just too funny.  

I mean look at Logans face!  Priceless!


First trip to Chuck E Cheese.  Grandma is teaching her the ropes.  

Scott Lee brought us some food and got to see you. 

Mr. Joe is making sure we are raising you right.  Don't worry, we are.

Ty's First Day of School 2012


What a difference this year at school!  He was such a big boy.  He is in the SMART COOKIE CLASS. He loved wearing his book bag.  I'm sure this is going to be a good year.  I love his teachers and his friends are all so cute.  Can't wait to see what the year brings.  Mrs. Kasir would be proud.




Mrs. Ruczko is showing Ty his cubby hole where he will hang his book bag this year.

Lymph Node Test Results

The power of prayer.  What a mighty thing it is.  I have been so worried about how many lymph nodes were actually infected with cancer.  Worry.  Doesn't God say to not worry and to cast your cares upon Him?  Yes He does.  So I gave it to the Lord.  I know He will take care of me no matter the results.  So I have another follow up appointment with Dr. Bunch on July 25th to check on the incision and the drain tubes.  We walk in and the first thing he says as he is still walking in is ONLY ONE NODE WAS POSITIVE FOR CANCER!  I had not even been able to comprehend it.  He was excited.  I was relieved.  Travis just hugged me.  Only ONE.  God is so good.  GOD IS SO GOOD.

The Next Step

So, what's the next step?  Now I wait for test results on the lymph nodes that were removed.  We are praying for only a few to have cancer.  One would be the best scenario possible.  As for chemotherapy treatment, I have to have the surgery heal first.  Once the incision has healed, he will release me to Dr. A and then I will find out more about that.

Surgery

9am.  I am at Baptist.  Registered.  Ready to go to pre-op.  Sitting in the waiting room with my parents and my husband.  Surgery is at Noon.  They call my name.  Travis walks me to the desk.  Its my turn.  I get a kiss and a hug.  I'm not too bad yet.  I will see Travis again before surgery.  Time to put on the gown.  Get in  the bed under the inflated blanket blowing heat on you.  Whew, it's hot.  Get my IV started.  Attempt one: FAIL.  Tell the nurse she will have to put the in at the elbow so she doesn't tear my hand to pieces.  IV is in. Medical History is taken and confirmation that we will be removing the left breast. Now I wait for the anesthesiologist to come in to explain things.  Well that takes forever so the nurse lets Travis and my mom back.  They are funny.  After a while they swap with my sister and dad.  Then Mrs. Lynda, Mrs. Renee, and Michael pop in for a quick hey.  My surgery is scheduled for noon but now it is 1:45 and I am still not back. They are running behind.  Travis and mom are back with me and finally the anesthesiologist comes on and we get on our way.  I think it is 2:30 by now.  Bye bye boobie!.  I am done with surgery but do not come out of the anesthesia very well at all.  Usually it takes about 1-2 hours in recovery.  I am there from about 4 till 11:00 that night.  I was extremely sick.  I was not waking up like they would like and my breathing had really slowed.  I don't remember much but I do remember begging to see Travis and they let me call him.  He said I freaked him out I was crying so hard.  Sorry Travis.   After missing the "sick bag" and hitting I think almost all the nurses, they are comfortable with sending me to a room.  So what floor is my room on?  4th floor.  I think they should just name that floor after us.  I feel like we have lived there the past 3 years.  I don't remember much of the night.  I do remember a few visitors and the doctor the next morning.  I did not feel better until about 10:30 that night.  My one night stay turned into two.  So as a treat, my husband went and got me a Starbucks.  Yumm-o.  I walked the halls for a minute and then went back to bed.  Woke up Saturday morning and got to go home.  I was rather surprised at how little pain I actually felt.  My arm was hurting more than where my breast was.  The ride home was not that comfortable though.  All in all, surgery went well.  Happy to be home.  Ready to be healed.

Logan 4 Months

4 MONTHS!!!!  really?  So, what a crazy month.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The hardest thing about it was knowing I had to quit breast feeding.  That broke my heart.  I truly enjoy the bond that you develop and am so sad that I won't be able to share that with Logan.  
So we tried cereal and you did well with it.  You seemed to like it.

Here are your stats:
Weight: 13lbs 5oz    29%
Height: 25 1/4    79%
Head: 16    47%
