Jan 15 My Jacket Changes Lives Jan 15

Posted by Luke under Fun | 0comment

Today my Grandpa Nintendo jacket changed someone’s life for the better. I got on the bus to go to work as usual. I went to my usual spot at the back. There was someone new in my spot. Before I could take a seat he asked me where I got my jacket. He wanted to go get one. When I told him it was my grandpas jacket and I sewed on the patch he was disappointed. I thought the conversation was over but it was just beginning. He went on to say that when he saw me in my jacket he thought how life is one big video game and that we are the characters in the game. As you gain more knowledge and experience in life you are leveling up your character. The jacket motivated him to finish some of his goals he’d been putting off so he wouldn’t get a game over in this video game of life.

Here is a picture of her with her very first purchase. She bought it with the money earned from cleaning the bathrooms. What did she get? Fruit snacks of course.

Jan 12 Kaisa as Cinderella Jan 12

Kaisa really wanted to clean the bathrooms to get some money to take to the store. She did a good job. When I took this pic she said she was Cinderella and I was her dad. Would that make MaKayle the evil step mother?

Jan 12 Wake Up Call Jan 12

This morning I woke up to a naked Addie at my bedside. She had removed her jammies and her diaper and was attempting to climb in bed with me. She did have a new diaper with her and the box of wipes. Maybe we should start potty training.

I just wanted to let everyone know that we changed our password on the private blog. We got some feed back that it was a hard password to remember. This will be the last time we change it (I think). If you’d like the new password email me or respond to this post. We also need to apologize to this blog. We haven’t really posted anything here. All the fun posts are on the private one. We have 73 posts to it since we started and more are on the way.

Peanut is on her way home right now. We are all very glad. The doctors are going to have a pow wow on Monday to talk about what the next steps will be.

Jul 08 Blood Pressure Leakage Jul 08

Posted by Luke under Hospital | 0comment

They did a red blood cell tag and that didn’t show anything. This morning they did a scope down her throat and up her bum. They did find many places where blood was oozing out and into the stomach and into the intestine. There could be more leaking up where they connected the new liver. The plan as of now is to start her on some medicine for blood pressure with the hope that that will relieve some pressure in the veins and they won’t ooze. If that doesn’t work they would have to do surgery and put a shunt in to relieve the blood pressure.

She is on and off grumpy all day which is understandable since they stop her from eating all the time and have to keep poking her for blood samples. She does keep her fun quirks about her. She loves to hook and unhook all the cords to her when she goes potty. She makes things for Grandmas and cousins too.

I hope we can get some sort of fix with this blood pressure soon. It’s draining on both MaKayle and my nerves.

Jul 07 Hospital Update Jul 07

Many of you might have heard already but most of you probably haven’t heard that Kaisa has been back in the hospital. MaKayle brought her in Thursday evening. It is for the same reason we have been here before. She keeps having those bloody stools. They have done the same tests as always and haven’t really seen anything. Tomorrow she will get scoped. She was still pooping blood this afternoon so we are hoping that tomorrow isn’t to late and they will still be able to see something. We will post more as we know more. As as always thanks for all your prayers.

Posted by Luke under Family, Fun | 0comment

The mini blog I mentioned in my last post it up and running. We have been posting to it for the last few days. Yesterday alone we had four small posts to it. We have had a lot of fun with these quick posts and I’m sure there will be many more posted to it in the near future. This blog will stay right where it is and we will continue to post here as well. Just not as often. The mini blog can be found here: family.lukeandmakayle.com – If you’d like the magic password let me know. Because it is password protected you won’t be able to put it in an RSS reader. Sorry. You’ll have to come back to the url to see what’s new.
