Moving Moving Moving

This is going to be a quick update, Eli went into the hospital on Saturday and found out he has pneumonia. He is very sick on top of everything. If this move happens it will be a MIRACLE!!! I will keep packing for now and trying to staying positive. We had a WONDERFUL time in UTAH! I will be posting pics soon! I just want to tell you all that I think of you so much! Love, Malaine

Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are only an option for them.

(I heard this quite awhile ago and I didn't want to forget it, so I thought I would write it down :) )

This makes me chuckle... I love it!

Eli and I just got home from another trip to Mesa. He is now giving himself injections three times a week. They are Epogen injections that stimulate red blood cell growth. His red blood cell count went down, if this does not help then he will have to have blood transfusions every month.
He is also having problems with his catheter site. His nurse had to chemically burn around the tube to prevent infection. We will have to go down again in a few weeks to have finish the procedure.
All in all he is doing well :)
Thanks to all of you that helped with Becca and Grayson while we were gone! I don't know what I would do without such amazing friends to count on!

All is well...

We had a scare this week with Eli. His blood pressure spiked to over 190 and he had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance once again, he had some tiny seizures but they were controllable. They changed his medication once again, he seems to be leveling out. The only thing that frightens me was something the nurse said as we were leaving. She said that when it gets over 180 he is very likely to have a stroke! When he was over 200 and had four grand mal seizures they were baffled that he didn't have multiple strokes... I feel the prayers of each and everyone of you. We are so blessed during this trying time.

Becca and Grayson started Little League! Grayson won his first game last night :) Yay! They are pretty good little players, that must be the "Bargo" in them because their Mom is not an athlete at all... although I was pretty good at badminton :)

Becca had her music program today, she sang and danced away... she did a great job. Although my camera ran out of batteries, I did get a couple on my phone. I will try to get them on here this weekend :) One of her best little girlfriends moved to South Dakota today. She is heartbroken. I told her that she will always have a special place in her heart for her :) (I don't think that helped much) I remember moving from Bullhead and being so broken hearted. What would I have done if my parents didn't make that move? All of the amazing friendships I would have missed out on :)

I love you guys!

Words to live by...

"Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect;just be an excellent example of being human."
- Anthony Robbins
