Well, it’s be a while since I last updated. Mostly, it’s
because of life in general. We have adjusted quite well to life with 4 kiddos.
To say we are busy would be an understatement, but we are taking life day by
day. Running our business is a full time job, and running our household is also
a full time job. On St Patrick's Day, we opened our expansion to the brewery, a restaurant
portion called The Porch at ETX Brewing Co. So far the feedback has been
tremendous and we are excited to finally share our completed project with
everyone! It, like the brewery, has been a labor of love! I honestly can’t
remember the last time we have had a day off. It’s been 7 days/week. To give a bit of
perspective…one of our day nurses (who works 12hr shifts) told me today that
she hasn’t seen Brian since January! WOW! I knew he was putting in long hours,
but I did not realize that he was gone quite so much. Since he is gone from
home when the kids wake up each day, I make sure to take them up after
pre-school to catch some quality “daddy time!” I love that even when he is
swamped with work, to-do list, projects, meetings, phone calls, finances,
emails, etc…he always takes the time to make the kids feel special and that
they are the center of our universe! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As many of you know, the Brewery is 100% our family
business. Brian and his brother, Matt, embarked on their dream when they began
the business plan back in 2013. Thankfully, we have watched that dream turn
into a thriving business over the past year. Our family business has expanded a
bit more, not only in square footage, but also in family members. The restaurant
portion is the dream of my sister and her husband’s (Meredith & Aaron).
Seeing their dream come to life and watching it pair beautifully with our
brewery is excitement beyond words! </div>

2017 flew by! Drake and Kennedy will turn 6 in June! Hayes
turned 2 in October and has the vocabulary of a 5 year old. Collins is 10
months old! She is the absolute happiest baby in the entire world! She loves
her siblings, army crawls, loves to eat and says Mama & Dada. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The questions I am most often asked include: How do you do
it? Do you ever sleep? What is it like having nursing in your home 24/7? Since,
other people probably have these same questions, I would like to address these…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How do you do it? I wish I could say that I have a profound answer
to this, but I do not. We just do it each and every day. We do what we have to
do for the betterment of our family. It goes along with ‘how can you be so
strong?’ Because I have found when being strong is the only choice that you
have, you find it. That’s it, that’s all I’ve got. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do you ever sleep? Surprisingly, this question actually
comes most often from the nurses we have in our home. The answer is…not nearly
enough! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is it like to have nursing in your home 24/7? Well,
imagine having a house guest…ALL the time! Our nurses are here for the happy
moments, the sad moments, the frustrating moments, and the everything… It is
hard to explain. Even our nurses who are here with us for their 12hr shifts don’t
understand what it is like. Even though they are here with us day in and day
out (or night after night), they still get to go home. Don’t get me wrong, we
like our nurses and we are thankful for them, but there is always someone here.
This past weekend our day nurse was out sick. So, I wore my mommy hat and also
stepped in with my nurse hat. It’s definitely more challenging and more of a
juggling act when I’m the nurse, but I also enjoy having some time with Just
Us. One of the highlights for me is having one-on-one time with my Drakey. With
the exception of hospital stays, which are miserable, we don’t get to have our
one-on-one time as much as I would like. This was a personal struggle for me
when we went from some nursing to increased 24hr nursing. I remember crying to
my dad about missing my Drake even though he was here in our house. It was just
very different, and took some time to find our balance. To be perfectly honest,
one of my favorite things on the days we don’t have a nurse is not wearing a
bra in our house! Lol! It really is the little things. I’m not going to lie,
Brian likes being able to walk around the house at night in boxer shorts on
those nights. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am planning to write another blog post very soon so that I can update on some of the exciting things our Drake has been up to lately! He's one amazing little boy! More to come soon...</div>

Drake and Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11724574885533975917noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726443353266284420.post-18338834773590237312017-06-10T23:02:00.001-05:002017-06-10T23:02:15.854-05:00Party of 6<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s hard to believe that we have been a family of 6 for two
weeks now! Our sweet little Collins June Gilstrap was born on May 26<sup>th</sup>,
2017! She weighed 6# 7oz and was just under 19” long. She is absolutely perfect
& our entire family is in love with her! We thought we had completed our
family when we were 5, but obviously God had other plans for us. Clearly we
were meant to be a family of 6. My c-section went really well and I am on the
road to recovery. I will admit it is a longer road than I remember, but at
least I’m already 2 weeks into the recovery. Another change this time around is
that Brian isn’t able to take off of work. Being a new business owner doesn’t really
allow “time off” for personal business. Luckily, Aaron came in town for the
weekend of Collins’ birth to help out in the tap room which allowed Brian to be
with me during my entire hospital stay. Matt had everything under control up at
work and we were all thankful to have Aaron’s extra help. My mom (Mimi) came to
stay at our house with the kids and help out with Drake’s nursing care needs. She
has since been splitting her time between here and her house with Kennedy &
Hayes. Since I haven’t been able to drive or pick up Hayes, my mom has been the
biggest help of all with the two of them. Brian’s mom has been great about
coming over to help, too. Our family is such a huge blessing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Adjusting to our new normal at home is going really well so
far. Kennedy is over the moon excited to have a baby sister! She keeps saying, “I
can’t believe we have a baby sister!” Hayes is excellent to pointing out “baby”
to us wherever we have her in the house. It’s also fun to watch Drake with her.
He clearly knows that she is there when I place her next to him. He’s much more
careful with his movements. He is definitely aware of her. We miss Kennedy and
Hayes terribly when they are away in McKinney for part of the week, but I am
well aware that I need the help right now. This is a short term change in our
life, and before we know it all 6 of us will be back together on a permanent basis. </div>

It has toiletries and warm clothes (hospitals are always freezing). Brian was working on his "go-bag" for our delivery date and asked if mine was packed yet. Good question...I guess the answer is no. The items packed for a hospital stay with Drake are going to vary slightly from what all I will need following my c-section. Time for me to get packing! Good News...I finished packing tonight! </span></div>

Recently my dr began talking with us about a plan B. Delivering on May 19th! Yikes! Luckily, that didn't happen. We recently lost a nurse and our agency has been working on coverage. Best laid plans...I am well aware that as much as we try to plan for her arrival, she could just as easily make the decision for herself and arrive anytime between now and the 26th. As a planner, I pray that she cooperates.<span class="yiv6591057660Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span class="yiv6591057660s1" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-size: 17pt;">Kennedy finished up with Pre-K for this year on the 18th and her end of year gymnastics was today, the 24th. Summer gymnastics starts up the beginning of June. Her pre-k class celebrated her birthday on the 16th since she has a summer birthday. She and I baked some yummy strawberry cupcakes complete with sprinkles for her class. She was slightly confused about whether or not she was 5 yet, but I think she understands now. <span class="yiv6591057660Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span class="yiv6591057660s1" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-size: 17pt;">Even though Drake's homeschool program is year round, he is now on a little break himself. The timing of his break works out pretty well for us considering we will be learning to adjust to having 4 kiddos. We recently took him to be fitted for new leg braces (orthotics), and then to have labs drawn. The amount of seizures he has each day has increased greatly. This makes our little man get pretty worn out. After consulting with neurology about whether or not it is time to start on an additional seizure medication, we made the decision to add Keppra. We are tapering up his dosage over the next 4 weeks until he reaches his full dose. The first week was absolutely wonderful, but then his body adjusted to the low dosage and his seizures began breaking through again.</span></div>

He is talking up a storm and keeps us in stitches on a daily basis. He is the perfect comic relief for our family & God knew exactly what he was doing.<span class="yiv6591057660Apple-converted-space" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494472948755_97799" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;"> We trust God knows exactly what he is doing about adding our baby girl on Friday! </span></span></div>

April has been a quite a month. We said goodbye to Brian’s
grandfather and welcomed a new nephew (Brian’s sister Teresa had a baby) within
a few hours of each other. True sadness combined with joy all at the same time.
I watched as Brian served as a pallbearer for his grandfather, a man he deeply
admired. As saddening as the occasion was, what a blessing that Brian has been
able to have his grandfather as a part of his life for so long. A few short weeks later, Brian and I had to
make the difficult decision to say goodbye to our sweet dog, Harlee. He’s been
our constant for so very long. We rescued him in October of 2001. He’s moved
with us 6 times, traveled to the beach, swam in the ocean, multiple lakes,
floated the Guadalupe, Comal and Frio rivers. Harlee was our baby before we had
our babies. As much as we wanted to keep him with us longer, it would not have
been fair to him. Explaining things to a 4.5 year old was not easy, and she
doesn’t completely understand. During prayers recently, I was going through our
usual gamut and I said, “Harlee.” Kennedy started crying. Then she said, “Jesus
wanted a dog. That’s why he adopted Harlee?” Are we going to get to see Harlee
again?” I explained that he isn’t hurting anymore, and he doesn’t have trouble
walking. He is watching over us and protecting us. One day we will get to see
him and play with him again.</div>

On a brighter side of things, we had a Grand Opening
Celebration for our brewery this month! Family, friends and about 400 East
Texans came out to celebrate with us! It was a HUGE success! This would not
have been possible if it were not for our many wonderful volunteers who gave
their time to help make sure things ran smoothly. Of course we have stayed very
busy with the brewery, and happily we have hired our first full time employee!
We have another employee who began the beginning of May. Much of our hiring
boom is owed in part to the community of Tyler for their support since we
opened our doors, and also in part to an EDP-Plus Grant we just received. </div>

It’s a real and constant fear that we live with on a daily
basis. Even on a good day, it is always a possibility. Once you become a mom,
sleeping through sounds and noises becomes an impossible feat. Somehow parenthood
just doesn’t have the same sleep altering effect on dads. How he doesn’t hear
crying through the baby monitor, I will never understand. I know becoming a
feather light sleeper and becoming acutely aware of every sound made is
something with which all moms can relate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The knock comes on
our bedroom door in the middle of the night from our nurse on duty. We never
know when it is coming and I honestly jump out of bed so fast that I really
have no idea what time it is when we are summoned. The past two nights we have
received the dreaded knock. All we know at the time is that something is wrong.
It’s kind of like getting a phone call in the middle of the night…it’s never
good news. I’m still a little surprised as to how quickly this 7.5mo pregnant
lady can leap out of bed. You would think there was a spring pushing me! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Night 1 – Drake was running a fever and heart rate elevated.
We decided the best course of action would be to give extra water and begin a
two week course of inhaled antibiotics. Drake showed improvements, but had a
restful night.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Night 2 – Drake was having a large prolonged seizure
requiring rescue medications. He was still running a fever after Tylenol. We
sat with him and monitored his vitals, and we tried our best to provide comfort
through his fears. I can only imagine how scary a seizure is for anyone;
especially a child. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wrote the above portion of this blog a week and a half
ago. I am happy to say that today Drake is doing much, much better! He will
finish up this round of his Tobi medication on Monday night. We will continue
to work hard to ensure we can keep him healthy. This crazy Texas boomerang
weather isn’t helping matters, but we’ll do the best that we can. </div>

Kennedy is loving pre-K, and I learned this week that she is
holding her pencil correctly at school. I guess it’s just here at home that she
is refusing to do it. I can live with that. She and Hayes are playing together
more, which is fun to watch. Yes, they get frustrated with one another and they
argue over toys sometimes, but the majority of the time they get along. We’re
pretty excited that we will soon be adding another little playmate into the mix.
Although, she’s going to need a couple of years before she is going to be ready
to run, play and keep up with the two of them. </div>

Hayes is accomplishing new words on a regular basis now. One
of our new favorites is “cookie.” I heard when he saw my dad this afternoon, he
ran up to him saying “Poppy!” “Poppy!” I’m quite sure that made my dad’s day!
Now, will he say any of those words this week at his upcoming 18mo check-up? I
can pretty much guarantee that will be a no. And no will likely be the response
during his appointment when asked any questions whatsoever. </div>

We have another busy weekend and week ahead of us! I’m sure
that isn’t a surprise. We will be praying for everything to go smoothly and
allow for as much rest as possible. Hopefully it will be a very long time
before we have another knock at our door. </div>

<span style="font-size: 17pt;">Hearing of the loss of a child strikes a chord and hurts my heart whether I know the child/family or not. Recently, our dear friends unexpectedly lost their infant son. The pain of that loss brings me to tears on a daily basis. Such a precious child who in his short time with us here on earth brought so much joy and taught everyone about strength, determination and a will to fight. I am one of the lucky ones. I knew him. I held him. I loved him. He suffered from a debilitating form of epilepsy. Through the pain, his mom and dad have started a fund to help raise money in his name for further research at UT Southwestern. His lifelong fight has already taught doctors how to better help children born with his same condition. With more research, future children will have a better chance of seizure control and survival. What a blessing sweet Knox was to us and will continue to be for so many future children & families.</span><span class="yiv2141168275Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></div>

<span class="yiv2141168275s1" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-size: 17pt;">This recent loss reminded me of something I push to the back of my mind and try not to ever think about. Life expectancy. I live in reality and I know Drake's life expectancy isn't long. He has already beat what we were told & he continues to defy all odds! This is why that thought is pushed to the back of my mind, close up and locked away. The future for everyone is an unknown and I don't need a dark looming cloud hanging over my sweet boy. We live our life day to day and cherish each and every moment. That is my reality. Our sweet boy is already 4.5 years old! He's walking with the help of braces and equipment! He's communicating through electronics! He's learning and exploring through technology! The accomplishments we are getting to witness for our Drake make my heart swell with happiness!<span class="yiv2141168275Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span class="yiv2141168275s1" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-size: 17pt;">Our busy life...well, to say we are constantly on the go would be an understatement to say the least...just ask our nurses. Sadly we just lost one of our night nurses who has been with us for over a year. There is no possible way for me to explain what it's like to have nursing in your home 24/7. Unless you experience it first hand, it is simply not comprehensible. Drake and the family get used to them and they get used to us. Adjusting to change takes time for all of us. Plus, this time we are doing some nurse shuffling. We have a day nurse moving to nights, a one night/week nurse moving to one day/week. A day nurse picking up an extra day, which she will split that shift with our newly hired day nurse. See, even though this makes sense to me, I can see it sounds rather confusing written out. We are excited to have found a new nurse to join our team and she will begin with us in a couple of weeks. In the mean time, our other nurses have been picking up extra shifts and I have been working the shifts not covered. Do I sleep? When I can.<span class="yiv2141168275Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span class="yiv2141168275s1" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-size: 17pt;">My pregnancy is moving right along. We are approaching 29wks this Friday. It's kind of hard to believe we are already in the 3rd trimester - 7 months. I have to admit week 25 was eerie for me. It was with Hayes, too. Getting passed the point of my emergency c-section with Drake & Kennedy, the event that forever changed our lives, is an accomplishment we quietly cheer about. Each week after that is a blessing and we internally celebrate being one week closer to full term!<span class="yiv2141168275Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span class="yiv2141168275s1" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; font-size: 17pt;">My family...I really can't say enough wonderful things about my family! Starting a business is hard. We knew it wouldn't be easy, and we knew it would be time consuming. My family's willingness to help out with the kids each and every week is what has made getting our business off the ground possible and successful. Yes, we are aware of just how lucky we are to have the supportive family that we have. If I could change anything, I would have them live much closer. <span class="yiv2141168275Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

Drake and Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11724574885533975917noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726443353266284420.post-89307702313062768402017-02-23T22:29:00.000-06:002017-02-23T22:29:05.294-06:00Assistive Technology <div class="MsoNormal">
Drake has been hard a work with TISD for evaluations for
assistive technology. They brought several different types of switches and
communication devises in order to see what would work best for our little man.
I was excited about what they brought for him, but also hesitant to make huge
changes with him. Even though his Big Mac switches take much more effort on his
part, he has gained so much range of motion and abilities with his arms over
the past year by using them daily. Changing him to easier switches made me fear
he would lose that arm strength. My concerns were validated by his therapist.
In the end, we all agreed to leave his Big Mac switches like they are (More,
Please and All Done). However, we added in a 3<sup>rd</sup> switch (New Toy).
Each of these switches is represented by a different color: Yellow, Red and
Blue. In addition to this, TISD has provided a small laptop and two easy
switches for Drake to use. Right now the right switch holds two options (Sound
or Movie). Once he selects Sound or Movie with his right hand, he has to then
push the switch with his left hand to play the sound or movie. It sounds
complicated, but Drake has figured it out already! It seem silly because he
only has two options, but the idea is to build upon this and give him more
options with time. His right switch and hand are used to click through the
options. Once he hears the activity he wants, he uses his left hand to choose
the selection. This devise can hold up to 30+ options! Obviously that will take
some time, but two is a nice starting point. I attended an ARD with TISD on
Tuesday to go over the evaluation with his team of educators and put all of his
new goals into writing. Even though I have been frustrated with the process
along the way, I was finally able to have my voice heard, and I believe we have
come up with a very good plan for Drake.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We took a trip to Dallas on Thursday of last week to see his
neurologist. He was pleased with Drake’s progress and everything that he is
doing on a daily basis. We are getting labs done to check his levels, and we
discussed starting a 2<sup>nd</sup> seizure medication. We have been in limbo
about this for the past year, and if it will prevent him from having
breakthrough huge seizures, we are willing to give it a try. Everything will
depend on how his labs come back. We have not gone for labs yet because both
Drake and Hayes came down with fevers and congestion over the weekend. Hayes
started on Friday afternoon and Drake’s nurse woke me up in the early morning
hours of Sunday. I consulted with his pulmonologist and made vent changes,
increased breathing treatments, increased a once daily medication to twice each
day, and began inhaled antibiotics that we keep on hand. By Monday, we
collectively decided to begin steroids as well. He is currently on the vent
full time and requiring oxygen. It seems like everywhere I go, even at the gas
pump, I hear people coughing. AHHH!!! GERMS everywhere!!! This is exactly why
we like to stay in our little bubble. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of the kids had a trip to the dentist on Friday morning
(before Hayes came down with a fever). Everyone did a great job and all dental
health looks great! They did warn us that several more of Drake’s teeth are
loose and will be coming out in the near future. How is he already old enough
to be losing teeth? I still can’t believe it!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While we were up and out super early for Dallas on Thursday
morning with Drake and Hayes, Daddy was in charge of getting Kennedy ready and
dropping her off at school. After we were settled in at the waiting room, I
sent Brian a message checking to see how things were going. He said they had a
great morning, but were “running super late due to hair issues!” I couldn’t
help but laugh out loud in the waiting room. Lisa picked Kennedy up from school
and I requested a picture of her hair…I think he did pretty darn good! I asked
Kennedy about Daddy fixing her hair and she told me her daddy said, “Kennedy, I
don’t know what I am doing. Mommy is much better at this.” Oh, I wish I could
have been a fly on the wall observing the process. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hayes is growing by leaps and bounds! He has finally
switched from calling me “MAW” to calling me “Mommy” and “Momma.” He is very
good at it and calls me ALL of the time. Although, “Daddy” is still a favorite.
If Daddy is here, he is the preferred parent. It may have something to do with
the roughhousing and wrestling! Daddy’s are just better at that…well, at least
better at that than a 6 month pregnant mommy. Hayes has never run a fever
before so this past weekend was rough on all of us. So glad that both boys seem
to be on the mend now. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This past Sunday both Hayes and his cousin were baptized at
my home church in McKinney by pastor Tommy Brumett. This was very meaningful
for our family. Not just because the boys were able to share this special
occasion, but also because pastor Brumett baptized both Drake & Kennedy
back when they were in the NICU. </div>

Drake and Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11724574885533975917noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726443353266284420.post-59967709700975674142017-01-24T22:33:00.001-06:002017-01-24T22:33:14.956-06:00Stuck in Fast Forward<div class="MsoNormal">
While our life is always a bit of a fast pace, this past
month has felt like we are stuck in fast forward. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not
complaining and I know this goes with the territory of opening a new business.
Although, I will do a little (or maybe a great big) cheer when we are able to
start distributing which will allow us to hire a few employees. Right now, it’s
a 7 day/week gig for the three of us (Brian, Matt & me). My family is
helping out tremendously with the kids and thankfully we have excellent nursing
in place for Drake that we can trust implicitly. God is Good! Without our
family and nurses, I would not be able to be hands on at our brewery to help
things run smoothly on our busiest nights. Technology helps, too, allowing me
to work remotely from home on various aspects needed to run our business.
Sometimes you gotta love how far we have come with technology (although, I am
by no means a techy). Google is my best friend when I need to quickly teach
myself how to do something on the computer. Seriously, what did we do before
Google?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Drake gave us a bit of a scare on Friday night. We were very
busy at the brewery and arrived home after mid-night to check in with his night
nurse, shower and crash in bed. A few hours later we were startled awake to a
knock on our door. I sat straight up, but I was confused as to what had just
awoken me. Brian called out, “yes” and through the door his nurse said, “Drake
is having a seizure!” I leapt straight out of bed and rushed to his room. She
had already pulled out his emergency meds, but had not yet administered them.
She had not ever had to give him his emergency meds before, but for me this was
not unfamiliar territory. I asked how long he had been seizing (5min) and we
administered his meds. Then we began a timer to see if this would stop them in
time or if we would need to move to plan B, 911. Thankfully, with the
assistance of his emergency medication, he was finally able to pull out of his
seizure circuit. He was, as you would imagine, exhausted from both the extended
seizure and the medication. I sat with him in his bed while his nurse closely
monitored his vitals until he was fast asleep and seizure free. Then, I headed
back to my room to try and catch a little more sleep as the morning sunlight
began to peek through the blinds. While I was still trying to calm my body and
fall asleep, Brian’s alarm began alerting us that morning had arrived and it
was time to get up. Brian quietly got up and ready for the day and instructed
me to try and get some rest. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I ended up getting a little more sleep (thankfully) and I
waited around the house for Drake to wake up and ensure he was acting like
himself before heading up to the brewery. His nurse took things easy on him
that day, but she did allow him to do a little time in his gait trainer, which
he seemed to enjoy. I had my phone on me at all times waiting for any news good
or bad. Luckily, every update was good and included some pictures! Definitely
what I needed! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kennedy and Hayes are about as easy going as kids can be
traveling back and forth from being at home, to Mimi & Poppy’s and also
Meredith & Aaron’s. As long as they have their security items, Facetime
with us, and stay on their routine, our sweet kids are pretty much go with the
flow. Plus, who doesn’t like to get a little spoiled by grandparents! Hayes has
discovered that he thinks he is quite the Big Boy these days and can do Big Kid
things all on his own. His favorite new obsession is brushing his teeth! He
still needs our help, but I love that he is all about doing it himself. My
phone conversation with Kennedy:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Me – Kennedy you are a good girl!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
K – You are a good mommy, too! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Melts my heart! I’m currently 21 weeks with our new little
princess and so far things are going really well. Brian is making sure if there
is any down time at the tap room, he pulls up a chair and has me sit. Even
though I am really good at finding things to do, he is making me rest (which I
know I need to be doing). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our current lifestyle is not a forever thing. This is just a
little bump in the road that is all part of starting a new business. Through
our hard work, teamwork and family help, we will have a new normal in place
within a few short months. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Drake and Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11724574885533975917noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726443353266284420.post-8013895358556429262017-01-17T23:01:00.002-06:002017-01-17T23:10:09.872-06:00Our Family is Growing! <div class="MsoNormal">
Much to our surprise, we found out in the midst of
construction and remodeling for opening our Brewery that we are having a 4<sup>th</sup>
baby! This came as a huge shock to us b/c we struggled and went through IVF for
Drake, Kennedy and Hayes. After 14 years of marriage and everything we went
through to have the family that we have, this definitely caught us off guard.
After adjusting to the initial shock and then again when my doctor told us we
were 13 weeks at our first appointment, we are extremely excited to have our
Bonus Baby complete our family! We are now 20 weeks, and we expect our sweet
girl to be joining our busy family at the end of May (and hopefully not any
sooner).<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have been so busy the past couple of weeks getting our
business up and running. This would not be possible at all without the help of
family! My parents and my sister & Aaron have been our life savers helping
out so that Brian and I can both be up working at the brewery on our busy
nights. My mom and I have worked out a schedule to get us through the next
month. Every other Friday my mom will be coming to stay with us and every other
Friday I will be driving the kiddos to stay with my mom and dad. It’s not
ideal, but it isn’t forever. We are beyond thankful to have my mom helping us
out until we are able to hire some employees. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Drake is in the process of getting evaluated for Assisted
Technology by the school district. This takes place in our home over several
different visits. His nurses and I have been frustrated b/c he takes time to
adjust to people; therefore, he won’t show his true abilities to strangers.
Anyone who comes into our home for the first few visits (all of his new
therapists) underestimate his abilities simply b/c he doesn’t perform for
people he doesn’t know. It’s easy to see how this is an issue for this type of
evaluation. Hearing Drake’s nurses vent about their frustrations with this
issue makes me feel so much better and justified with my own frustrations, as
well. I think if I didn’t have them, who completely understand, that this would
drive me completely crazy. It’s simple…just don’t underestimate my kid…and
please believe us when we tell you what he does and can do on a regular and
daily basis. </div>

Drake and Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11724574885533975917noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726443353266284420.post-87737096958823095032017-01-03T23:58:00.002-06:002017-01-03T23:58:13.549-06:00Blur The past few weeks have literally been a complete blur for me. Half the time Brian and I are not even correct about what day of the week it is from day to day. I even wrote a blog two weeks ago and it is somewhere on my ipad...only problem is that my ipad is currently misplaced. Find my ipad only tells us that it is turned off, which really means that the battery died while it's been MIA. I have not doubt we will locate it sometime in the near future, and probably in a very random location. Lately finding our deodorant has turned into a game itself "Which Drawer?" brought to us by our sweet son, Hayes. I think it might be wise to invest in a few more baby locks.<br />
<br />
We have all been working 7 days/week getting everything ready to go with the brewery opening. We have put so much of our time, energy and hard-work into getting our business up and running. We are thrilled to be officially opening tomorrow 1/4/2017 in Downtown Tyler! Our tap room will be open on W-TH-F 4-10 and Sat 12-10ish. The time, energy and hard-work are not going to stop now that we are open, but at least we can start making some income.<br />
<br />
Overall the kids have all been doing really good. Drake has had a couple of scares over the past few weeks, but we have managed them and he is on the road to being back to his baseline soon! One of the scares/issues recently was a malfunction with his trach. His trach has a cuff (a balloon) we inflate at night. When it is inflated, it prevents him from being able to breathe in and out of his nose or mouth and rely solely on the trach and vent. This also prevents him from having any drainage or secretions go down into his lungs, and it also helps with his apnea during deep sleep. The malfunction, we discovered, was a leak in the cuff. We have had a leak in a cuff previously, but the leak was on the outside. The problem this time was a leak on the inside! This meant that the saline in his cuff leaked directly into his lungs! Needless to say this caused issues. He had to remain on the vent, required extra CPT (shake vest) to help him cough up the saline, oxygen support and extra breathing treatments. Thankfully, within a few days he was back to himself, and we immediately changed trachs and threw the bad one away!<br />
<br />
I had surgery a couple a weeks ago, and my wonderful sister and brother-in-law took Kennedy and Hayes to help us out for a few days and allow me to recover. Not only did they do a great job taking care of our little tykes, but they also took them to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags! The pictures were adorable! I love that our little ones enjoyed such a fun experience with their Aunt, Uncle and cousins!<br />
<br />
Even though Brian and Uncle Matt didn't get to take any time off from working to enjoy the holidays, we still managed to squeeze in a little family time. Kennedy, Hayes and I spent our Christmas Eve in McKinney with my family and Brian's family came in town to stay with us beginning on the night of Christmas Eve. Our little house doesn't provide much room for guests, but Kennedy didn't mind giving up her room when it meant a slumber party in mommy & daddy's room!<br />
<br />
This past weekend was yet another scare with our sweet Drake. This seems to happen about twice each year. He got stuck in a bad seizure and our emergency medications here at the house were not enough to pull him out of it. Therefore, we found ourselves headed to the ER via ambulance and getting IV meds in route to help stop the seizures. We were finally able to get the seizures under control; then his temp, xrays, cultures and labs were taken. He was running a small fever, Tylenol took care of that. Thankfully the ER doctor at TMF was very open to listening to me and consulting with his pulmonologist and neurologist in Dallas. Pulmonology ordered starting of Tobi (an inhaled antibiotic that we keep on hand), a round of steroids, increased breathing treatments, and CPT (shake vest). We were released! We still spent our entire day at the ER, but the silver lining is that we got to come home...Our Happy Place!<br />

We even had a pajama day on Saturday…well, all of us except for daddy (he had to work), but he joined us as soon as he arrived back home! Cold temperatures and constant drizzly rain seemed like the perfect combination for footed pajamas! The really funny thing is that Drake is such a hot natured kid; he always looks dressed for summer while the rest of us are ready for a full blizzard to hit! <br><br>We attended our first official Christmas Parade in Downtown Tyler with Kennedy and Hayes! <br>Kennedy said, “I’ve never been to a parade before!” I’m pretty sure her favorite part was the candy being thrown by some of the floats. It’s hard to find a candy she doesn’t like! Hayes we mesmerized by all of the sights, sounds and people to watch. It was quite convenient that it was right up the street from the brewery. We just put the kids in the stroller and headed out on a short walk to see the festivities. <br><br>Last weekend we decorated the tree and this past weekend we (Brian, Kennedy & I) decorated our very 1st Gingerbread House! We had a great time and this just might have to become a yearly tradition. Kennedy’s favorite part was (big surprise) snacking on the icing and candy! Hayes was in the general vicinity busy playing with pots and pans, while Drake was moving all over in his gait trainer. Things may be crazy busy right now getting the business ready to open (and I do mean CRAZY busy), but finding the time for little family activities is always well worth the effort! </span><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOjhktPZD-3ZEi5q3pG1-thNd9j3lr4bupk3rZG7wDu2XyMgxdK8oGWYNBw0hDF6dSLCoZwRnX3yspD5bL4qw-v2i2Uzuhh6CnI7GZ5pLjDrsnkbS3FQl-h8Wxpw8eg7Z3Gsiq37Fw0oXc/s640/blogger-image--93460256.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOjhktPZD-3ZEi5q3pG1-thNd9j3lr4bupk3rZG7wDu2XyMgxdK8oGWYNBw0hDF6dSLCoZwRnX3yspD5bL4qw-v2i2Uzuhh6CnI7GZ5pLjDrsnkbS3FQl-h8Wxpw8eg7Z3Gsiq37Fw0oXc/s640/blogger-image--93460256.jpg"></a></div>Downtown Christmas Parade!</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSppmIWg1nHt96gStdHb8LvVJxAWIHvpuAxoQIOB-Q_-2ByBGP5RQPU9DtNtHrAOrco09zBQYnr0b009x6hGmB903ni-hOeZH4H6TC-CfyhXdfpt1-ka79PAHB083To2duyV3l7P0oJ-dt/s640/blogger-image-339103851.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSppmIWg1nHt96gStdHb8LvVJxAWIHvpuAxoQIOB-Q_-2ByBGP5RQPU9DtNtHrAOrco09zBQYnr0b009x6hGmB903ni-hOeZH4H6TC-CfyhXdfpt1-ka79PAHB083To2duyV3l7P0oJ-dt/s640/blogger-image-339103851.jpg"></a></div>Silly boys!</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwQyuzj4YdM4g3Es1Ge0sNnSC8jCCa22FoMeKA5CCE5lBfpMbDWDf0rFRdiA0RiAgaB8fLA2ZSCwBTjE9re3ioxiKErl-5_AqyvKjhH_t_xZFo2K00AZ3JBF4Cc5vBevbGsiK9smoDOt1Z/s640/blogger-image-310351962.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwQyuzj4YdM4g3Es1Ge0sNnSC8jCCa22FoMeKA5CCE5lBfpMbDWDf0rFRdiA0RiAgaB8fLA2ZSCwBTjE9re3ioxiKErl-5_AqyvKjhH_t_xZFo2K00AZ3JBF4Cc5vBevbGsiK9smoDOt1Z/s640/blogger-image-310351962.jpg"></a></div>Getting a better view!</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4GRHoomSGWHhgLMrau8Q5kGNor-URnrxPUxyYENE69z9ndoA2P2sxThyh1PUIEIzAIOvjVCSI05hoxlW6tPSlacpZ9tfUM0sleSJ7QBJaGuMjPp3fvMOw3gJUm26ACQwVIyvmuqNT9ht/s640/blogger-image-261525671.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4GRHoomSGWHhgLMrau8Q5kGNor-URnrxPUxyYENE69z9ndoA2P2sxThyh1PUIEIzAIOvjVCSI05hoxlW6tPSlacpZ9tfUM0sleSJ7QBJaGuMjPp3fvMOw3gJUm26ACQwVIyvmuqNT9ht/s640/blogger-image-261525671.jpg"></a></div>A little snap chat fun!

background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The smell of apple cider on the stove, twinkling lights adorning the tree, and bright eyed children eager to help decorate…absolute perfection! After the hustle and bustle of family and food (oh, so much food) for Thanksgiving, a quiet evening with just us getting the tree ready for Christmas was exactly what we needed. The tree was a little heavily decorated on the bottom portion, but Kennedy thought it looked perfect & it did! Although, ornaments were a little more evenly distributed after bedtime. </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The next morning Kennedy told me she had an idea…”Let’s take the ornaments off the tree and put them back on again!” It wasn’t easy to convince her that wasn’t a good plan, but distraction helped and we moved on to another activity. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479770707563_18752"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479770707563_18754"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Thanksgiving was a huge success! We had ALL of Brian’s family in town to celebrate and we ate our delicious meal at the brewery. What a blessing to celebrate and spend time with Brian’s family on Thursday and my family on Friday! Luckily we were not completely turkey”ed” out. We had enchiladas on Thursday and traditional turkey and dressing on Friday! </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479770707563_18754"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479770707563_18755"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We’re getting ready to visit Santa this week! I plan to take both Kennedy and Hayes. Drake is going to stay home for several reasons: he doesn’t like loud noises/places (loud noises induce seizures), he doesn’t like unfamiliar people, and he is much happier at home. I would love to have Drake in a Santa photo with Kennedy and Hayes, but I know he would not enjoy it. That would be creating a memory for me, and I would much rather have my little man happy. He sure did look cute wearing his Santa hat around our house! </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479770707563_18755"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479770707563_18756"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Drake struggled with a cold/virus over the past week. Several of our nurses had the same thing. One missed over a week of work! It’s always difficult to see Drake when he is not feeling himself, but we are extremely thankful to have the nursing and equipment at home that allowed us to keep him out of the hospital. Truly a blessing! We are pleased he is completely off of oxygen support now and tolerating time off of the vent again. First and foremost our number one goal is to keep Drake healthy. Next, we want him happy and then we support him to reach his full potential. We are pleased to be back on track with everything! </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479770707563_18731"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479770707563_18757"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

His blue chair was classified as a stroller for special needs, but this is a true Big Boy chair! It seems so fancy! Custom built just to meet Drake’s needs and can grow with him for many years to come! It even has his name embroidered on the seat! As exciting as new equipment is for us and other children with special needs, it doesn’t just magically appear one day. So much time, paperwork, and phone calls go into each and every piece of equipment. Forms are filled out, turned in and the wait begins. Everything is reviewed, more information is requested, more information is sent, and we wait. Sometimes we are denied. Then we start the process over again or thankfully get to use a piece of equipment that has been donated from another family. Every piece of equipment is the accumulation of generally 4-6 months of paperwork, justification, and phone calls. To say we are thankful to finally receive a much needed piece of equipment is a bit of an understatement! I’m sure this is true for all families who go through the process. </span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">The time and effort put forth from our therapists and doctors is greatly appreciated! </span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">We are</span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 13.199999809265137px;"> also</span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 13.199999809265137px;"> thankful to have been able to donate our </span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">previously “loved” apparatuses to other children who may be denied something that will help them meet their full potential. </span></span></p><p class="s4" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1.38;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s3" style="line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">What have our days consisted of…work, work work! That’s ok! We’re hard at work getting ready to open our family business! That requires all hands on deck, long days & some team work! Even Meredith, Aaron & their kids came in town to pitch in and help out! Kennedy has been </span><span class="s3" style="line-height: 13.199999809265137px;">mostly excited about painting!

Taking a little time out for a proper celebration of Hayes was definitely a much needed event! All of Brian's side of the family was able to make it and most of mine was, too! We also had some of our wonderful friends in attendance! I think Hayes knew this was a party just for him! The weather was perfect, and Yea-Yea (Brian's mom) made a wonderful birthday cake especially for our special boy! We were prepared for a huge mess with his smash cake, but he was actually not messy at all. That was a huge surprise...especially knowing our busy boy! </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_60055" dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_60055" dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Kennedy enjoyed helping get things set up and decorated for Hayes' party!

However, when they called to arrange delivery, they let me know that due to the changeover to managed care taking place <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0">on November 1</a>, they would not have enough time to get the stander we had ordered. My options were, to accept a stander that they already had in stock, or we could start the process over again. With those two options, I decided to give the stander they had in stock a try. Trying to coordinate with their delivery from Dallas and Drake's PT being here to verify that this stander would meet all of our needs was much harder than I would have thought. After 3 failed scheduled times, everything finally fell into place! Now Drake has plenty of growing room, and I think he likes his new stander! </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_60055" dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_60055" dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

It all started with an ultra sound for sweet Hayes. His PCP felt an abdominal mass during his 1 year appointment and send us to get it checked out. “Hopefully it’s nothing, but we just want to make sure.” Of course!

It would have been helpful to know all of the questions on the paperwork in preparation for our visit. Luckily, Nurse Lisa was at our house and I was able to call and get her to grab Kennedy’s discharge paperwork from the file cabinet so that I could answer all of the necessary questions (Birth weight & length I knew, but head circumference and APGAR score I did not). Crisis averted! The good news is that the doctor was pleased with Kennedy’s progression on her height and weight since her referral in July. They will continue to see her about every 6 months over the next few years. Growth hormones were mentioned, but that is not the direction anyone wants to go at this time. I was pleased that the doctors also said they would rather let Mother Nature take its course and only intervene if it is absolutely necessary. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_4348"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_4349"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Yesterday, was Drake’s turn at the doctor. This was the 1<sup id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_4350">st</sup> vent clinic appointment not to have Kennedy with us in the car. She had school, so she stayed with her daddy. He took her to school, picked her up, and she hung out at the brewery with her daddy while he worked for the rest of the day. Hayes was with us and Mimi met us at our usual meeting location to pick him up. This was our first vent clinic appointment with our new nurse! Everything went very smoothly and Drake got an excellent report from his doctor! His chest x-ray was beautiful! His doctor was so pleased with his progress that he even wanted more information about Kyani. Asked and received. You can’t argue with data...Improved immune system, lack of hospitalizations, lack of infections, healthier lungs, excellent blood work! They are working on scheduling him for a sleep study. The purpose will be to determine if he can wean off of his vent at night or if his sleep apnea will cause him to be unable to completely wean. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_4349"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_4331"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476842399433_4352"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Now we are in full party mode!

There are a lot of variables with finding the right nurse: competency level as a nurse, compassion with Drake, and fit with our family (including Harlee & Riot). Our new nurse is a really good fit for our family! </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476236523061_3029" dir="ltr" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;

It has been so long since I have spent this much time awake, but when we are short handed, that's my job! I knew going into this week that I would not have a day nurse on Tuesday, but it was an unexpected turn of events not having a night nurse for <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://1" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1">Monday night</a>. Our regular night nurse had a sick kiddo, and our other night nurse was not able to pick up the shift because of jury duty. Not to worry...we survived! Drake is hooked up to louder than you would imagine alarms during the nights, and I did try to catch a little sleep in between his treatments; however, my hyper-vigilant mommy-mode would not allow my body or mind to rest. I was terrified I would not hear his Def-con Level 5 Alarm (as if that would be possible to sleep through)! Of course that would have woken me from even the deepest of sleeps, but my mommy brain would not allow rest. The good news is that Drake slept like an angel and so did Kennedy and Hayes! Praise the Lord! </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474929566248_9131" dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474929566248_9131" dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Most people are not aware of the changeover happening for Medically Fragile children <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://2" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="2">on November 1st.</a>The current system in place, which allows us to see a variety of doctors/specialist, is going away completely. Here in Smith county we have two choices of managed care: United or Texas Children's. While this seems like an easy decision, it is actually quite challenging. Drake sees about a dozen doctors, most of which are located in Dallas. I'm doing my best to ensure Drake can keep his specialist, or at least his most vital. Right now we seem to be in a catch 22...I can keep this doctor but we will lose this one...I plan to push this decision right up until the deadline, and hopefully I will have more informed information to base our decision upon in the next couple of weeks. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474929566248_9131" dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474929566248_9131" dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Our new day nurse is taking the trach/vent class <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://3" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="3">tomorrow</a>, and she should be starting with us on Thursday.

I spent today working with and training a cover nurse who will be with us the next couple of days. She did an amazing job and I wish she could be our permanent addition to Drake's care team; however, I do understand why she is a perfect fit for stepping in where needed to provide nursing for many children. We will continue to pray for the right person to be placed in our home. Finding the right nurse may not always be easy (and I have even wanted to throw in the towel along the way), but once we find the right person, they have all been a blessing to our Drake. </span><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">On a brighter note, we had a successful outing to the zoo! Despite the extremely HOT temperature, Drake did really well! Nurse Lisa and I were very impressed with his O2 sats and overall demeanor. The cool wrap that Nurse Lindsey got for him was a lifesaver! I did a terrible job taking pictures at the zoo. On our next visit, I will make it a point to do better. </div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">While I know in reality our nurse search could continue for many more weeks, Brian has reminded me how happy we will all be when we find our perfect fit. </div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVITuJ2VBRdRF3R6PgeCqZAELx2oeZmbnb2QDrusU03c5R3apT4fxd-mL5RxDUZgLvfwPN-yCC9EBRF2WvYrxoXhqOqwxsxRTfl6YB2pIYTkZ5ONkRET-ia3XWRgF8Ht_6JW0wU-piK6ui/s640/blogger-image--1747728319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVITuJ2VBRdRF3R6PgeCqZAELx2oeZmbnb2QDrusU03c5R3apT4fxd-mL5RxDUZgLvfwPN-yCC9EBRF2WvYrxoXhqOqwxsxRTfl6YB2pIYTkZ5ONkRET-ia3XWRgF8Ht_6JW0wU-piK6ui/s640/blogger-image--1747728319.jpg"></a></div>This guy deserves the best!

font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Today was day 1 with our new nurse. I think she did really well for her 1st day, and she interacted really well with Drake! I have a huge appreciation for fast learners! Drake adapted very well to her on day one, too. That's a really big deal when it comes to our little guy. </span><br><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Brian took Kennedy to and from pre-school today, and he had a smile the size of Texas across his face when he was telling me about picking her up from school! I absolutely love watching him interact with all three of our kiddos! </div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Hayes is such a good boy! He's busy and into everything, but he is also just as sweet as can be! He has definitely learned what the word "no" means, and he is getting much better about leaving Drake's equipment alone.

It doesn't seem like that long ago that i was holding her tiny little hand inside of her incubator. I remember clearly when I was finally able to hold her in my arms for the first time. That green vinyl polka dot recliner quickly became my happy place! Her strong willed personality and determination was visible from early on. The nurses would take so much time and tedious care in positioning her carefully on my chest with all of the cords and tubing placed just right. Then, our spunky little Kennedy would decide she wanted to turn her head and face the other direction. We all did good today and I am proud to say that no tears were shed...(if Mimi were here, that would be a different story). She had a fantastic day and she is ready to go back on Thursday!</span></div><div><div><br></div><div>Our little Mr Independent, Hayes, is getting so close to walking! He is still a speed crawler, but he is now pushing a walker across the room with the a look of pride that absolutely beams! He loves to talk to us all of the time. Dada and mama are clear, but the rest is baby gibberish; although, Kennedy is hard at work teaching him to say her name next :) </div><div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Drake is continuing to improve and work hard daily. He's gaining strength and amazing all of us with some of his skills in pushing up, assisted sitting, and sustained head control. However, the second a camera is pulled out to capture his incredible improvements, he absolutely will not show off. That little stinker! As much as I would like to document these achievements, I'm excited he is so aware of his surroundings! </div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69);

'Follow Your Dreams' After telling her, she repeated it back to me with her own little twist. "Follow your dreams and help people!" Seems like a pretty amazing motto for life! We know as she continues to grow and learn she will experience a combination of joys, sorrows, triumphs, and defeats that will mold her into who we pray is an amazing young lady. May her 4 year old motto continue into adulthood and inspire others along the way. </span><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">To be honest, I'm a little overwhelmed with making decisions in regards to Drake's healthcare. The MDCP (Medically Dependent Children's Program) is going away as of this coming November 1st. We are given choices of other Health Care options which are determined based on the county in which you live. The only problem...most of Drake's doctors (all of his specialists) live in a different county. Right now none of them have been able to tell me who they will be in network with after November 1st. Of course, our fear is losing all of his specialist who know him and have been providing his care for the past few years. We are praying for clarity as we make some pretty big decisions in regards to Drake's medical care coverage. </div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">We have some other big changes on the horizon for Drake as well. His new day nurse will be joining us this Friday. Adjusting to a new nurse takes time for Drake, the nurse, and for the rest of our family, too. She seems eager to learn Drake's routine and be a big help in continuing with his progress. Hopefully in a few months, she will be a Drake expert like the rest of us! :)</div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Our sweet Hayes is growing up way too fast! He is constantly on the go and into everything! He is 100% interested in anything Drake and Kennedy are using. Sometimes he is even a little too helpful...he pulls himself up and pushes Drake's communication buttons for him. It's hard to believe in a little over a month our little guy will be turning 1! </div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">No matter how caught up we get in this busy life, it's great to see the values we try to instill in our children are showing up in their outlook on life...follow your dreams & help people. Our plan is to continue to teach as much as we can before they become teenagers and think they know more than we do :) </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8bYej-VJ9ZKqX_plKBA2UN1A3Sg0lHLm-gnHouCOoHxj9LuX6FCgzTfNDMhq7kb4y-yqdJMIzUavmKljoOEnaJ0JYWMVmc3qOhps-6sgSgsHOktCCJNsERe0D3OhMepc-YtNlr3fPH5Gb/s640/blogger-image--201787475.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8bYej-VJ9ZKqX_plKBA2UN1A3Sg0lHLm-gnHouCOoHxj9LuX6FCgzTfNDMhq7kb4y-yqdJMIzUavmKljoOEnaJ0JYWMVmc3qOhps-6sgSgsHOktCCJNsERe0D3OhMepc-YtNlr3fPH5Gb/s640/blogger-image--201787475.jpg"></a></div>Play time with just mommy & daddy!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOAg4dQhC0jz54kjh2r_zoqA_Ktyt7kt6g7yu98sQy5DIdw4uyZp0ACZZKcqbd5cdvH1KeIaXs3_UpN66gq2RE0gCFxLQiduYnrjclnTT_itKHv1-d8JBw5g8ozK72xy6EKZdpTEdqPVo9/s640/blogger-image-1430327657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOAg4dQhC0jz54kjh2r_zoqA_Ktyt7kt6g7yu98sQy5DIdw4uyZp0ACZZKcqbd5cdvH1KeIaXs3_UpN66gq2RE0gCFxLQiduYnrjclnTT_itKHv1-d8JBw5g8ozK72xy6EKZdpTEdqPVo9/s640/blogger-image-1430327657.jpg"></a></div>It is unacceptable to be left inside while daddy & sister are outside!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRJRUMW0-Z8Alp8bPVBtwzzaHRC-wjvMOH2oqy4SYHj5B_8yjpnYBsmFCOeaGzycRsuvLerGM5yrw89r7Bhi14kwNZVcmwvAeVYCeOiJJFOEr3xFvVIW9fSck0S18yB_BteaEat-e9N5m5/s640/blogger-image-1459088684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRJRUMW0-Z8Alp8bPVBtwzzaHRC-wjvMOH2oqy4SYHj5B_8yjpnYBsmFCOeaGzycRsuvLerGM5yrw89r7Bhi14kwNZVcmwvAeVYCeOiJJFOEr3xFvVIW9fSck0S18yB_BteaEat-e9N5m5/s640/blogger-image-1459088684.jpg"></a></div>Sweet Boy!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoQd_2SsRouGzTltDP0JwPSte-_Cr5Ii-FfPqbwP9qkH-gWzf3AKbUtwyc_iSp54ycKkf8Iw2T6Hb2YIH6O9ZL8Yi7Yb8sOMgCjho8ZKFZyyImjYmOUmyNR7ELBGCavnkump8UYveR2Oj3/s640/blogger-image-1104704798.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoQd_2SsRouGzTltDP0JwPSte-_Cr5Ii-FfPqbwP9qkH-gWzf3AKbUtwyc_iSp54ycKkf8Iw2T6Hb2YIH6O9ZL8Yi7Yb8sOMgCjho8ZKFZyyImjYmOUmyNR7ELBGCavnkump8UYveR2Oj3/s640/blogger-image-1104704798.jpg"></a></div>Kennedy with cousin Jacob!

It's something we have become used to and really don't give much thought. However, over the last few weeks Drake has developed a startle seizure. This isn't a huge surprise, although it is still something we are adjusting to here at home. Even familiar sounds are throwing him into a seizure. According to what we have learned, this develops between the ages of 1-16. We are fortunate that we were able to make it 4 full years before Drake developed these.<br><br>We are starting to prepare ourselves for Kennedy beginning preK. We are excited for her to make this next step and look forward to the progress she makes over the next year. Although the thought and realization of her growing up is still not easy for us to accept. <br><br>Hayes is cruising! He is the happiest little guy and he is always on the go!

I'm even more thrilled that we were able to celebrate at Disneyland! This was a 1st for both of us! It was also a good "recon" trip for future family vacations! Knowing that our next visit will be with some very happy children makes me feel excited! We just need a little growth in height so that they can ride on everything.</span><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Even though it is hard to be away from home, it was a wonderful trip! I'm thankful for FaceTime so that I was able to see my family members sweet faces while I was keeping in touch with them. Kennedy and Hayes definitely had fun at Mimi & Poppy's! I'm sure they were not spoiled at all (yeah, right!). They even took them to a birthday party! Drake and Brian held down the fort here at home, and Brian even stepped in as nurse when our nurse had to leave early due to a family member being hospitalized. He was even stung 6 times by a yellow jacket while mowing the lawn that same day...Clearly super dad! </div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">My trip was eventful and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I was even happier to arrive home to my family!
