http://paintsandpistols.blogspot.com/2013/04/mri-results.html
Wednesday, April 24, 2013. I took the call at work today. See, I THOUGHT it was a call from Cook Childrens anyway. I conveniently left my school-issued iPad there when we had our MRI appointment last Friday. That's right. Let's pause for a moment and think about. Job And I thought mine was hard. He went on to let me know that the optic nerve looked good - no significant underdevelopment at all. In fact, he kept going on about it so much I made him stop and I asked, "So. he. My baby can see. Because I kno...

http://paintsandpistols.blogspot.com/2013/04/this-is-friday-night.html
Friday, April 12, 2013. This is Friday Night. This week has been rough. Nothing's gone wrong, per se. Aside from my children conspiring against Koby and me and planning our demise due to lack of sleep, we're fine. I've just realized that I'm one knee scrape away from a meltdown. Ride of the Valkyries. And kicking like a maniac, so I'd say he's fine.). So, Hayes update:. MRI : rescheduled for April 19 due to Hayes' recent RSV. ECI evaluation: April 16. (Explanation to follow.). Keep prayin', y'all. When h...

PAINTS and PISTOLS: What's Wrong with Baby Hayes?
http://paintsandpistols.blogspot.com/2013/03/whats-wrong-with-baby-hayes.html
Tuesday, March 19, 2013. What's Wrong with Baby Hayes? Dearest Blogfans and friends,. I have totally been avoiding you. Somewhere in between this moment:. While deciding how to write this post, I hesitated upon an approach: Ugly and honest? Back to my fear seedlings, their origin. This voice is the dramatic, emotions-based voice:. I was afraid there was something we'd be discovering about Hayes from the moment I held him for the first time. The fear really took a step up at three months. And so I schedul...

http://paintsandpistols.blogspot.com/2014/10/fourth-times-charm-another-eeg.html
Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Fourth Time's the Charm? Aunt Melissa met us for breakfast in the Cook's cafeteria after our 8 am appointment this morning. I didn't put much effort into this post, so I'm sorry in advance for how poorly written it is. I'm just too tired to try very hard to assort my thoughts into a pleasing order. It has. been. crazy, up. in. here. We'll be checking this EEG unit every hour or so for its blinking yellow light, which means the brainwaves are still being recorded. Even though t...

PAINTS and PISTOLS: June 2013
http://paintsandpistols.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 18, 2013. I thought I was pretty indoctrinated into the 'country' lifestyle. I mean, check out the street we live on. Roosters waking me up in the morning and donkeys braying in the distance and horses in the next yard? You got it, partner. I have loved living in the 'country'. Who wants to worry about neighbors nagging them if their dogs get out, maybe kill someone's favorite cat, yadda yadda yadda? Punt him out the back door. Well water was one of the 'selling points' of us deciding to mo...

PAINTS and PISTOLS: Cherish
http://paintsandpistols.blogspot.com/2012/11/cherish.html
Monday, November 12, 2012. That it will never come again. Is what makes life so sweet.'. I am getting greedy. Greedily, ravenously, urgently, I am attempting to soak up and bottle every newborn moment with Hayes. He came early and I am thrilled about it - three extra days to spend with his strangely fuzzy head and pointy little nose. A first child is a bewildering wonder: an adventure and a mystery. He is glory because he is new. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). SUBSCRIBE TO HEAR ABOUT NEW POSTS.

PAINTS and PISTOLS: Dear Knox - An Open Letter
http://paintsandpistols.blogspot.com/2013/07/dear-knox-open-letter.html
Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Dear Knox - An Open Letter. It's four days before your second birthday and I wanted to write you a letter. A letter of thanks, a letter to paint a picture of this time that we might be able to revisit some day in the future, a letter of admission, frustration, and hope. Toys because of a condition you can't understand yet, and you don't get too jealous or act out too much, and we appreciate that. What proverbial baggage am I packing that you'll carry in relationships to come?
