To all my blog readers...

Thank you so much for checking in and reading about our experiences as a family. This blog was set up to document B's journey through his surgeries. It has been an amazing way to keep others connected to our story and now we are able to help others through our experiences. It's been so wonderful how God has blessed us with that! I hope I can help other families forever with our experiences with research, doctors, specialists and recovery.

We have definitely felt the love and prayers from everyone as we went through each surgery and recovery time. Brennan will still have one last surgery, date unknown as of now. The doctor likes to do a "touch up" surgery within a year of the medpor surgery to make it 'perfect'! She waits to see how the ear heals and does a "small" surgery to match the ear to the other ear as best as she can. We don't see the doctor for a couple more months but I'm sure we will discuss it then. I don't expect the surgery to be until the beginning of next year sometime. Until then, we are just letting B's ear heal and enjoying his new life with 2 ears and better hearing!!!

AND!!!...
We have exciting news as a family!!! We are expecting! We surprised our family on Mother's Day! We haven't announced it on Facebook yet but we have told people when the topic comes up. We had an ultrasound a week and a half ago and all that was visible was an empty sac. The doctor said it could mean that I was just earlier than we thought or something might be wrong. I did blood work on that day and had to wait the weekend to get the results. The doctor called on Monday and said my blood count was great. So, then we had to wait until our next ultrasound which was this past Thursday. We had the ultrasound, which measured me at 6 weeks and 4 days and it was hard to see much in the sac. But, the doctor did find a flickering of a heart beat!!! Then, he found 2 small blood clots right outside the gestational sac. He said if they get worse they can cause a miscarriage. But, there is a chance they can go away on their own too. We have another ultrasound next Thursday and until then I'm supposed to take it very easy and not exercise. Ugh.... no exercising... oh well, it's definitely worth it. So, I'm taking it easy and waiting for Thursday. It's another lesson on trusting in God and His plan for us.
So, if you can keep us in your prayers this week that would be AWESOME!!! Thanks.
