Life’s Little Moments

Life just never seems to slow down.  sometimes I get to the end of the week and even after doing all kinds of things, I feel like I've accomplished nothing.  The last two weeks have been really messed up for me. I took Thursday and Friday off last week for Ella's surgery.  The week before … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Popsicles and Ice Cream

I apologize for not giving an update sooner.  Thank you for your prayers and well wishes for our daughter.  Ella's surgery went well and she came home Thursday evening.  They wound up not taking the tonsils out completely.  They basically shave them down, which leads to an easier recovery.  I'm not sure it's been easy … Continue reading Popsicles and Ice Cream →

Request

My wife and I will be warming seats in the surgical waiting room today.  A few months back, our doctor took out my daughter's adenoids.  After the surgery the doc came out to tell us that the tonsils  didn't need to come out. On the way home, I told my wife, "If we end up … Continue reading Request →

Life’s Little Moments

It seems like it's been a while since I posted a non-music/personal blog. Believe me, it is not because of a lack of things going on! It seems like my wife and I have been on the go constantly with the craziness of every day life. So here is a brief update: Happy Anniversary! It … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Life’s Little Moments

With 4 days left until Christmas, I thought I would share a little update. Despite the many Christmas posts, I am not really feeling "Christmassy" this year. It seems like our family is focused on one event and once that is done, we're on to the next one. Point A to Point B, then on … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Recovery At Home

It was a long day yesterday.  We were on the road by 5am to be at the hospital by 7am.  Andrew's surgery was at 9am. They repaired the cleft in his throat without harming the vocal chords it was between.  They removed adenoids and shaved the tonsils.  It all went very well. Waking up from … Continue reading Recovery At Home →

Weekend Review

It's Monday and there is finally a bit of normalcy back in our life. It was a crazy weekend for us. Thursday, Andrew had his surgery. It went better than expected and we were grateful that many of the "possible" surgeries were not needed. This time the recovery went a bit better than the last … Continue reading Weekend Review →

Home Recovering

I wanted to thank each of my readers who said a prayer or sent positive thoughts our way for Andrew's surgery. All went well and he is home recovering. We will need to follow up with ENT in about 6 weeks. We also will follow up with sleep/neurology in the weeks ahead. He was such … Continue reading Home Recovering →

Sooner Than We Thought

We'll be sending up a lot of prayers this week. Andrew's surgery was schedule to happen in late September. Sam woke up this afternoon saying that the ENT office had called and wanted us to call back as soon as we got the message. They had mentioned a while back that they may want to … Continue reading Sooner Than We Thought →
