Sorry I haven't been in touch lately. I agree didn't we just have christmas? Except I'm even farther behind than you are because now it's May. We had a baclofen pump put in in March. It rotated so we went back for a revision 3 weeks later, then it got infected with staph and then he had staph meningitis. He came home with a PICC line for two weeks and it's finally out. Yippee for us. So I think we spent 14 days in march down at the hospital. We're not sure if we're going to put it back in o not. We meet with the spasticity team on Monday to see if there is anything else to do. So that's us in a nutshell I'm glad you were able to get out to Texas. I think it's something we will eventually want to do down the road but right now I"m just tired since he's still up 4-6 times a night. Oh well. That's life with a brain injury I guess. Oh and don't feel bad for drugging him. I do it all the time! =) Ok not all the time but I have some serious issues with some people and their comments. I don't know what to say half the time either when people make comments like that. How do you explain a stroke in a two year old so that they understand? I guess I need to work on that one. Anyway sorry for the super long post. I hope your doing better! Samuel looks great in that picture! Sorry I haven’t been in touch lately. I agree didn’t we just have christmas?

Don't sell yourself short. You say that you are in a funk - I see you as strong as they come. I have so much respect for you and your family (what a blessing for your boys - well and Tom :) to have such a passionate and loving mommy and wife. There need to be more of you out there - it must be a challenge everyday for you to focus on everybody else and sometimes get a glimpse of you and your needs. Take comfort in knowing that Heavenly Father is mindful of your sacrifice - what a wonderful reward he has in store for you. We miss your family and wish we could get up to Logan to visit. We love you all! Teresa,

Did you see any amazing results. I've often wondered if I should take Luke there, but you know money can be hard to come by at times. Though if I thought it would be amazing results I might just have to go. Luke had a sleep study recently and seizures showed up on it. He's never had seizures before, I'm bummed! I love the picture of Samuel, he is looking great! Keep up the great work, but please find time for yourself, it's so needed.
