journeys with jax and oliver: The Tree
http://jackotaco.blogspot.com/2011/08/tree.html
Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I am the tree. The "tree" in this song. He loves likes a hurricane, I am a tree. Bending beneath the the weight of His wind and mercy . . . We traveled to Inova Fairfax Hospital early this morning for Jackson's spinal MRI. Isn't is strange and wonderful how innocent our children are? Jackson's MRI came back clear of abnormalities of which w...

Thursday, August 11, 2011. The photo quality is not great (taken on my phone), but I also wanted to share two pictures of Jackson's back taken a couple of nights ago. I thought many of you might be curious to see what exactly I am writing about. I also want to take this opportunity to say to all parents reading this blog: CHECK YOUR CHILD'S SPINE CAREFULLY! When in doubt, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS trust your instincts! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Taco Gets His Shell. I Was Always That Kid. Aka "Momm...

journeys with jax and oliver: Cast-Off Day
http://jackotaco.blogspot.com/2012/01/cast-off-day.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. Lately I have been feeling like I don't have much important blog material to post. However, today certainly made the cut. This morning marked the removal of Jackson's second Mehta cast! He must have known that something exciting was coming . because he didn't sleep a wink last night (ahem). Still, we were all eager to wake up early and venture over to the Winchester hospital for his cast removal. Soon we were "all done" with Mehta cast #2! Under the cast, his skin looked awesome!

journeys with jax and oliver: My Louis Vuitton
http://jackotaco.blogspot.com/2015/01/my-louis-vuitton.html
Friday, January 9, 2015. Well, here she is: my little vintage Louis Vuitton bag, a Speedy 25. Then again, who would complain about a Louis Vuitton bag in their grasp for approximately 18% of the price of a new Speedy 25? For those of you who appreciate this sort of thing, I took some photographs of the miniature restoration process so you can see the classic beauty of my new handbag one which with never go out of style! I am just SO excited! And here as well - prior to any cleaning. And a "Ta Da"! Subscr...

journeys with jax and oliver: Huge Triumph
http://jackotaco.blogspot.com/2012/01/huge-triumph.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. While the last 5 days have been excruciatingly difficult . and while we are still not "out of the woods" yet . I want to share with you a huge triumph. Without further hesitation, I give you: two X-rays that speak a thousand words. This is Jackson's last "out of cast" x-ray before we began Mehta casting. His curve was 44 degrees and his RVAD was 27 degrees. His scoliosis also worsened. During the weeks after this X-ray was taken before our casting date in September 2011. Aka "Mo...

Monday, January 23, 2012. It's that time again: Shriner's Hospital for Children time. I can tell because my anxiety level is creeping skyward day by day. I think that feeling must be a strange phenomenon experienced by mothers of "special needs" children - the waxing and waning of anxiety and emotions. Don't mistake that to mean that this process is not always. Today I received an automated voicemail (after 5pm, so I could not call back) telling me that Jackson's procedure was scheduled for 9:30am. N...
