Update on our boys and family.

I first want  start off with Happy Thanksgiving, I can't believe its been since April that I wrote. Time has flown by. We have been super busy since April. We have had many medical trips to Little Rock our home away from home, we have had to change our pediatricians, we have also had to make some very hard decisions regarding Jacob's care.

 Joe is doing great and keeping me busy, He just turned 3 in August, he loves Peppa Pig. He just tested out of daycare so he has all next week and then he will be staying home with Jacob and I. He get's minor colds and has allergies but nothing like his brother Jacob get's. Joe is a happy, smart, toddler for the most part. He currently weighs about 34 lbs.

Jacob has had a very rough few months. He continues to battle respiratory illnesses. We have met with his team at Children's  several times. He had bi-lateral hernia repair and new tubes done in August. In October we spent 3 days at ACH and 1 day in the PICU. We are losing our amazing pulmonologist this coming week and I am very sad to see her go she has been nothing but amazing to our family. I made a promise to her before our PICU stay that I would keep in touch with her and I plan to do that via text messaging. We have also gained an amazing pedictrician for the boys. Although it is a drive an hour to be exact she is willing to do whatever we need to do for Jacob. In October after a meeting with Jacob's team we decided it was best to pull him out of therapies and daycare. We are now considered home bound with him and he get's nursing services and therapies all here in the comfort of our home. We also are meeting this coming week with Jacob's team. We are almost sure that Jacob has an immune deficiency of some sort,

Bobby and I are doing pretty good, we keep so busy with the boys. We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. We took a mini vacation trip as a family. That was our first vacation since we got married and our honey moon, We remodeled our beautiful kitchen, it's now our gathering place when we host get togethers and Thanksgiving and Easter. We love having family over,
