Almost a Year

It's so hard to believe that Ben is almost a year..Only a few more weeks..Boy oh boy does time fly...Ben just melts my heart to pieces...This has been one of the best years of my life...I so enjoy spending time with my little guy and seeing him every day..

I;m sorry that I haven't been keeping up with my blog..Life gets so busy and hectic..

Here's a pic of my most favorite little guy..He is such a happy little boy...He love going to daycare and seeing his little friends..A couple of times I have dropped him off at daycare...Once I bring him in he longer sees me...He sees all of his little friends and that's it...he loves babies and kids...

Well have a wonderful week...and enjoy your families...They are one of the most precious things ever...

Cody in Remission

Cody just finished his second round of chemo...He turned one last week while in the hospital...The best news yet is they did a bone marrow test and it came back that he was in remission...I truly believe that it is our answer to prayer..Cody has one of the worst kind of Leukemia that a child can have and six weeks later he's in remission.. We wanted to thank each and every one of you that held Cody in your prayers.. Please continue to pray for him as he continues to be monitor and do more chemo...Cody was able to come home this weekend for about three weeks..He has a nurse that comes in every day to check his vitals and do blood work, etc..He still has to do more chemo. I will keep everyone updated.. Again thank you everyone..The Lord does work in mysterious ways...

Long overdue

It's hard to keep up with posts as it seems we are constantly on the go with Ben..It's seems...let me correct that as we are constantly on the go..It's hard to believe that less than 6 weeks and Ben will be one year old..boy does time fly...
I took Ben out on his sled last week.It was so funny...He kept wanting to get off so I let him..He crawled off..looked around for a minute and decided to crawl right back on..He is such a little character...Here are a couple of pics that I tried to take outside..

Ben loves mirrors...Here's a couple of Ben playing and kissing the baby in the mirror...

Ben does not want to sit still for his weekly pics...Boy oh boy is it a chore to take his pic...

Ben has been awful sick this past week..He has a stomach virus...which causes him to throw up an awful lot along with diarrhea...Needless to say...We are trying to make sure that he doesn't get dehydrated. We are going through so many clothes, towels and sheets...I caught it a couple of days ago and Jason also came down it it.It does not feel good at all...It seems to be going through the whole house..Jo and Sue haven't got it yet....

Happy Valentine Day

Happy Valentine to my special little man...Benjamin...and to his Mommy & Daddy...

Winter Wonderland

Auntie Sue and Grammy took Ben outside for a ride in his sled that his Grandma and Grandpa Libby got for him..It was such a wonderful day..The weather was nice.....not to cold...Ben had fun...He kept smiling and laughing...He is such a joy to be around....Here are a few pics that Auntie Sue and I took..Joleene was trying to get ready for a baby shower so we went outside..

Earlier in the day Joleene was cleanning and trying to organize the office. I took some pics of Ben playing in the boxes..It was keeping him entertain and contain in one area. He is on the go so much..

Spaghetti Dinner

On Tuesday, February 12th at 6:00 P.M. the PTO will be holding their annual spaghetti dinner at East Auburn School cafeteria. Again this year there is no set cost for dinner and instead donations will be accepted and encouraged!

This year they will be donating the money that they collect to a special little boy!

Cody Bryant-Oldham is eleven months old and was recently diagnosed with AML- Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This is one of the most difficult forms of childhood leukemia to treat successfully. He is likely to be hospitalized at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital for up to six months for treatment. His illness has created a financial hardship for his parents, Dana and Shannon Bryant-Oldham and we are hoping to help out with our donations.

Hope to see some of you there..

Cody had surgery yesterday since he had a crack in his line. The doctors replaced his line and shunt. Cody's hair is starting to fall out. The other day he touched his hair and some came out..Cody looked at it and said "oh!' The hospital's hairdresser will be shaving his hair so Cody will be a blad baby..otherwise he appears to be doing so much better.. Maybe we can get him some cute hats..

Thank you so much for all of your prayers...They have a long journey ahead of them.

Fund Raiser

We are having a fundraiser on Saturday 1/26/07 at Spare Time Recreation from 11:00-4:00 to help raide money for Cody and his family. There is a bowling tournament going on and we are going to be there raising money for Cody..Please pass the word along to anyone who wants to stop by. It's a good start to raising money for Shannon, Dana and Cody. Hope to see many of you there.

Cody was given platelets yesterday. The doctor also took out one of his lines as he didn't need it at this time..Barb said that his eyes look so much better...

The school PTO is going to put on a Spaghetti Dinner for Cody in the near future..I don't have dates yet...Continue to pray for Cody and his family..They need all the love and support that we can give them.
