Happy Birthday Becca Boo!


Today is Becca's tenth birthday! I hope the next year is full of happiness... I adore your smile and the freckles that sprinkle across your nose. You are growing so fast! You are such an intelligent, gentle and kind girl. I am so thankful for YOU! I took lots of pics of the party. I hope to get to the store tomorrow and get them transferred to a disk. That is the only way I can figure out how to download them to the new computer, I've lost all of my cords from my camera, or should I say, haven't unpacked them. I'm not very computer savvy :)

I hate that life just keeps going when you have a son that is so ill. I want to stop time, get Eli better, then start the clock again. I know how silly that sounds, sometimes I am driving alone and start thinking too much, i guess.

Eli is doing ok... has not gone back to the hospital. He is taking an arsenal of medication, which seems to be working better. I think he takes 26 pills a day. He has no appetite so the eating is not going very well. I made pancakes and bacon for Becca's birthday dinner and he ate five! woohoo! (I will make pancakes every day if I need to)

Meatballs with Lingonberry Sauce... too yummy!


I was able to meet Connie at IKEA today! We had such a blast just hanging out and looking at all the fun things. We had dinner there and it was scrumptious! Oh, the chocolate cake was very good too... Can you tell I don't get out much anymore? (I just had to put up a picture of the meal!) It was exciting!

A Bright Light



We found out today that the transplant will take place in December... Jimmy Shreeve is donating a kidney to Eli!


The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light. -Felix Adler

Jimmy, thank you for being a light for our family... i love you. malaine
