Nicholas
woke up this morning and crawled in my bed to wake me up so we could
watch the big TV and drink our coffee together on the couch. He
loves our time in the mornings, and we play video games in the night
before he goes to bed, just part of our routine. Please pray for the
little partier and Happy New Year Eve.
See Ya Next Year!!!

Christmas
2006
Nicholas had so much fun these last few days. He got to spend
some time with his brother, and then today before he came over to my
house he went to grandmas to play with his cousins. He is very
spoiled and received many presents. He has been so into Christmas
this year and he is growing up so fast. Please continue to pray for
our little Nicholas and his health during this Christmas break.

Nicholas was
very energetic today. We baked cookies and muffins this afternoon.
He loves to cook. It was pretty cold today so we did not venture out
at all. He still is congested and has a little cough so we stayed
indoors. Please pray for Nicholas and his health and hope to get
over his cold soon. |

Nicholas was
full of energy today. His medicine is working good, but he is really
congested in his nose. He is eating like a champ and just all around
being Nicholas. It has been too windy to go outside so we are
playing in the house. Nicholas used to put a bowl on his head when
he was a baby so it was funny when he put his Elmo container on his
head. Please pray for our little Nicholas and his health. |

Nicholas is
here for a couple days and he is very ready for Christmas. He is
feeling much better now, but his nose is very stuffy today. He has a
lot of energy so we will run and play for the next couple days. He
is really in the holiday spirit and cannot wait for Santa to come
down the chimney. Please pray for our little Nicholas and his

We
are on our way to Spokane to a doctors appointment!! Will
update later. UPDATE: We got to Spokane and the
doctor figured that Nicholas IGG level was low so all the meds were
ordered and was started. He was definetly feeling better, but with
the threat of a fever last sunday and now his cold we figured he was
low. The test came back after the infusion started and his IGG
actually went up for the first time from 502 to 508. His body is
holding its own despite being sick. This is so great. Now, with the
infusion we should be good for at least 3 months and since his level
went up maybe he will not need any more infusions. Please pray that
he continues to do well and he continues to produce plenty of IGG. |

Nicholas woke up this morning feeling a lot better. The doctors
are worried that his IGG level might below so we are going to
Spokane WA tomorrow in the am to have some blood work done. If his
low he will be infused, and if not he will probably come home on
antibiotics. Please pray for our little sick Nicholas.

Nicholas is not feeling good today!!!!
Nicholas went to bed last night sneezing and was starting to
sound a little stuffy. He slept a little restless and was up early
this am. As the morning progressed he just sounded worse and looked
the same, he did not feel good. At 1:30 he went down for a nap and
slept for 2 hours. He woke up with his batteries charged and feeling
better. He ate a decent lunch and we have been playing a little
since. He is just kicking back before his bath playing on the
computer. He is very stuffy and his voice is raspy. Please pray for
our little Nicholas and that he gets over this stuff.

Here is Santa in the bath tub!!!
Nicholas is putting suds on his face and singing the Santa song,
HO, HO, Ho!!! He is so into Christmas. Everything he sees he wants
and asks me if Santa will bring it. He is so funny and cute. He
seems to be growing up soooo fast. We just hung out most of the day
except for feeding the ducks. Please pray for Nicholas' health.

WOW, Dad was
having major Nicholas withdrawl, but he is back for a few days
now:).
I went to pick him up today and we came back to my house. He is
doing great. We are playing video games before he goes to bed and
tomorrow we will do our regular routine. Hopefully the weather will
hold and we can go out to feed the ducks and spend a little time
out. Please pray for our little Nicholas and his health.

Today we had
our Christmas / Thanksgiving Dinner. We had it on this day so Jake
and Family could come in from Colorado, and my sister and family
could come in from Seattle. Nicholas had fun getting tickled by his
grandmas, and playing with Riley. When we got home tonight he gave
me a scare, he had diarrhea twice and his temp was going up. He fell
asleep at 8:15pm and I watched him all night expecting a fever, but
at 3:00am his temp went back to normal. He fought it off, whatever
it was yeah:):):).. Please pray that Nicholas continues to do well
and no more scares.

Nicholas had
his 2nd bone marrow birthday today. This means that he is 2 years
post transplant and doing great. He wanted a new DVD
"Mickey Saves Santa." Here he is holding on to it and he
has watched it non stop since we got home. We went to feed the ducks
today (one of our daily routines) and they acted like they were
starving. They see him coming and start to quack. It is so funny. We
even have the birds coming around now. He had a great day today and
we are off to bed. Please pray for Nicholas and a great job done on
his 2nd bone marrow birthday. |
