cardiologist

Ok, so we had the appointment with the pediatric cardiologist on Thursday. Jacob does have a heart murmur but it is benign and the Dr. states he will grow out of it someday most likely. The repeat xray shows he does not have dextracardia, which is soo strange but we are thankful...everyone (multiple dr's looked at the first xray and all thought the same thing). So all is good again on our end and he is healthy once again...but I just keep waiting...someday something is going to happen and they are going to say "now that is why all that other stuff happened, now it all makes sense" but I will pray that doesn't happen...thank you to all for thinking about him through this...

extra's, holidays

This was a picture of the day that we got 12 inches of snow...for anyone that has lived inland more in Michigan, they know that is unheard of in Sagiaw..The boys had a hayday our their with Jim snowblowing and them shoveling.

 

This is a picture of another Santa's secret shop present that JR bought for Jacob...it was a little hockey set, once Jacob opened it they played with it nonstop until basically it broke...JR was just sooo excited to play with it....

 

Christmas

So we started christmas morning with Jacob throwing up in our bed!!!! We spent the whole morning in between presents cleaning up puke...poor thing threw up 4-5 times that morning in about 3 hours, the only worning we had was his hand over his mouth and saying OWE. they really opened them fast and were definately happy with what santa brought them. We thought Jacob's illness was just from a runny nose that he was gagging on so we continued on with our day and packed up to head to my parents house. Of course he threw up 2 times in the car then too!!! Christmas was then the next day at my parents house and that day went well...But then later that night JR got sick, followed by Jim, the next day my mom, and the rest of my whole family...I decided to bring to HOlland the stomach bug..all my fault...My dad and I were the ONLY ones within the whole family that did not get it at all...But overall it was a really good Christmas. JR also made me an ornament at school for the tree, it was a glass ornament...I really about cried getting it from him..

 

 

 

 

Christmas Eve

The first picture is of something JR got me from Santa's secret shop at school..he was soo excited to get that he made me open it christmas eve. We started a Christmas Eve tradition of opening one present and of course it is pretty much going to always be PJ's...then the next pictures of them playing with wraping paper rolls (their true selves),
followed by the final picture of the angel that JR made at school for the tree...

 

 

 

 

Santa

Ok so I know this is like REALLY LATE...but I am going to try and catch up here by a couple each day...so here was the boys on santa's lap...JR is rubbing his chin wondering what else to tell Santa that he wants...trying too hard to think and not forget anything...as some of you saw...he too then wrote a letter to santa to make sure he did not forget...
