He is a wild man for sure!!! Did you say he
had a cold??? Nothing slows him down. We had a very busy and
energetic day today. He had a cough and running nose in between the
laps around the house. The bee sting went away and shows no sign of
even being stung. I guess his immune system has had to kick into
high gear this last few days and it is doing great. Hopefully he
will kick his runny nose and cough very soon. Other than that he
feels great and wants to go out and play. Please continue to
pray for our little guy.

Nicholas has had a pretty rough day today.
He woke up this morning with a very raspy cough. He feels good and
it has not slowed him down. We took him to see his local
pediatrician and he called Salt Lake City and was assured by them
that his immune system is strong enough to fight off anything that
will come his way. So, right now he is sick, on his own, and off all
meds for 10 days now...eeeeekkkkk!!!! To add to this he came home
and later this afternoon he went out on the deck and got stung by a
yellow jacket. We took care of it and watched. His body did not
react and he still is a wild man and full of energy. So today his
immune system had to kick into full gear and is doing great. It is
fighting off his cough, and took care of the bee sting. WOW!!!
Please pray that he continues to do well, and his immune system
continues to get stronger.

Nicholas came over today for a few hours
while his mom ran some errands. He knows that my favorite DVD is
Space Dancing and we dance to "what's this button for" all
of the time. He put it on this afternoon and danced to our favorite
song. WE ran and played for a couple hours then met mom and brother
at the high school then they went home. He is such a trooper and was
very happy to see Mitchell. Please continue to pray for our little
trooper.

Our little trooper with the horns on his
head woke up at 5:30 and decided to play. I received a body slam and
a "daddy lets watch the big TV." He played very hard all
day, so I called to tuck him a little early tonight, and he was
ready for bed- a little earlier than usual. He was on the go non
stop for 13.5 hours. Woooo Hoooo!! He is so awesome. Please continue
to pray for our little wrestler.

Nicholas played very hard today. He loves
to wrestle and run up and down the hall while I chase him, put him
on the bed, and tickle him. He is just so much fun, and I really
missed him while I was in Las Vegas. He is only on basically 1
medicine a day and he will always be on this because he has no
spleen or gaul bladder. Every day he learn more and more, he is just
amazing. Please continue to pray for our little Nicholas.

I am glad to be home from the few days in
Las Vegas. I missed Nicholas so much and wished that he could be
there with me. Nicholas liked his presents that I brought home from
my trip. We had fun today doing our usual playing, tickling, and
laughing. Nicholas is off all meds now except for the 2 that he will
always be on due to the lost of his spleen and gaul bladder. His
body is completely on his own now and needs to just get stronger and
start his immunizations in June. He is doing great, and trying to
get caught up very fast. He is carrying on conversations with us,
letting us know what he wants, dressing himself and eating very
good. What a trooper. Please continue to pray for our Nicholas and
his recovery.

Nicholas woke up this morning after a
great night of sleep. He is talking to his Mom while Dad gets ready
to go to Las Vegas. What a multi tasker, talk on the phone, watch
Bob The Builder, and dance all at the same time, what a ham...LOL...
I will miss him for the few days that I am gone. Well, gotta go and
play more before I leave. Please continue to pray for our little
Nicholas and his health. We are 90 days + now and doing awesome.
"Vegas baby" I miss you!!

Nicholas has been a ham all day. We went to
McDonalds to get his happy meal and the toy was the glasses. He
likes to wear them. We read the paper together, cruzed, and ran up
and down the hall all day. He got a new DVD from our neighbor
tonight and he is so excited. He has been asking for Bob The Builder
- Build it and they will come. I did not think that there was one
named that and he was just repeating what he herd from the
commercials, but guess what Ashley found one today for him. He is so
excited and is already watching it. He is so funny. Please continue
to pray for our little Nicholas. |

Nicholas was kicking back watching tv and relaxing after his
bath and is winding down getting ready to go to bed. He is here to
visit me before I leave to Las Vegas for a couple days. We had fun
this afternoon, saw the red balloon, and had pizza Thursday's at
Papa Murphy's Pizza. I am going to miss him while I am gone. Please
continue to pray for our little guy. He is doing great.

Nicholas and Dad spent the early morning together before we
went for a drive back to Moms house. He woke up very early and
wanted to play basketball. He is very much a outdoor kid, and now
that the CEP is gone he can go out in the sun and play. This is a
basketball that was given to him by the Spokane basketball team when
Nicholas was only about 1 year old and was at Deaconess Medical
Center in Spokane Washington. He loves this basketball. Anyway, he
is doing great and please continue to pray for him.

Nicholas came over this morning for breakfast after he dropped
brother off at school. He will stay until tomorrow and play with dad
until the end of the week. The weather is warming up here and we
have a hard time keeping Nicholas inside. He is very much an outdoor
kid and now that winter is almost over he will be very happy that he
can spend so much time outside. He goes out to ride his bike, then
inside to play Ronald McDonald. What a great life. Please continue
to pray for Nicholas' health.

Nicholas woke up this morning on the go as he always does. We played
until his mom came down to pick him up. He likes to play on the
computer and now that he has the new Ronald McDonald computer game
he just has a ball. He is just so cute and full of energy. Please
continue to pray for his continued great health.

At 6:00am this morning I felt Nicholas rolling around in the bed.
When he was still I looked at him and I had these big blue eyes
looking at me. He threw his arm around me and gave me a hug and said
"cartoons preese" Got to love that. We enjoyed coffee
together, and then played all day. He got a new Ronald McDonald CD
and he loves it. Phew, what a busy day. Please pray that Nicholas
stays healthy while brother Mitchell is getting better.

Nicholas is still doing great with no signs of the ecky bug!! He has
been on my computer off and on all day. When he is not on my
computer we are chasing, and playing from one room to the other. He
is so awesome and feeling so good. He will be off his meds now for
almost 90 days and moving forward. Please continue to pray for
Nicholas and his health.

Here we go!!!
Nicholas has not been over with me for 5 days
because I caught bug that has been going around our area, I do not
know how, but I did so Nicholas has been with Mom. Brother Mitchell
woke up at Moms house this morning with a fever so I sterilized my
house and off I was running to get Nicholas and bring him down here
to my house, now that I am well. We are doing everything that we can
to isolate Nicholas from this bug, it is a doosy and lets hope that
he does not get it. Other than that Nicholas is doing great and is
full of it as you can see. It is so wonderful to be with him again,
I really missed him. Please continue to pray for Nicholas and his
health and that he does not get that ecky bug.

Today was a beautiful day and Nicholas could not wait until he could
go outside and ride his bike. He got a new bike for his birthday,
but he still loves his old one that is too small. He is so funny. He
rode until he had to come in and take a bath. Mom was going to come
over and they were going to get "brother Mitchell" then
off home to run wild. He is walking even better today and I think
that his leg will heal in another few days. Please continue to pray
for Nicholas. We love you!!
