Giddy Up!

Wow has life been a little crazy lately. Over the last month our lives have been focused on Brayden and his sickness, but we did find time to be out and about. Jett's best friend Wesley had his birthday party at a local small zoo early last month. It was so fun to watch all the kids together. Of course Jett could have cared less about the animals, he just wanted to run around with his pals. Towards the end I finally was able to get him to focus and he asked to ride the pony. For those of you that don't know Jett well, this is a HUGE breakthrough for him. He loves animals...but at a distance...a very long distance. Anytime we are remotetly close to a large animal he backs up and says, "Mommy, is it going to eat me?" The zoo also had camel rides. The picture to the right is Wesley, Jaydon and Emily taking a ride. I was the mean mom that said he could only pick one ride. I didn't object when he picked the horse, quite relieved actually...I didn't want the camel to eat me:)

A quick update on Brayden. He is doing great. You wouldn't have a clue that he was sick for a month and in the hospital for 4 days. There isn't much updated news we can give you at this point, it mostly a waiting game to see how his heart improves. He got some bloodwork done today and the results were fantastic. His inflammation count at the hosptial was over 100 (which the doctors informed us that # is very critical and could be life threatening...kinda scary), but today his number was 20. Praise the Lord. We have an appointment with the Pediatric heart doctor on Monday to get results from his Echo we had done earlier this week. We are in high hopes of a good report.
