Sunday, October 19, 2008 in the Evening

Good evening all. I hope that everyone is well rested. Sorry for my delay in posting, but we have been busy this past week with Fall Break and just life in general.
Houston and Jackson had a restful Fall Break. Grandma Pat took Christie, Houston and Jackson on the new River Valley Gorge ride, a new boat excursion through the Tennessee Aquarium over Fall break and above are some of the pictures from their adventure.
Zander is doing well. This past week, he discovered his tongue. It has been going non-stop since then. Think Michael Jordan. He is really starting to wiggle around a lot and he is noticing every aspect of what is going on around him.
Starting tomorrow, Zander has doctors and therapists appointments all week. Tomorrow he will see his GI doctor and attend physical therapy. Tuesday he sees Dr. Kelley for another dilation and overall check-up. Wednesday, Zander is going to see Dr. St. Charles, his ENT. Christie will be on the run for most of the week, so please keep her and Zander in your prayers as we should find out quite a bit with this week's appointments. Hopefully we will learn more about the hearing issue from Dr. St. Charles on Wednesday.
We remain prayerful for Zander's health and medical care. We have not heard from Ethan, but trust that he is doing well. Please keep him, Raymond Powell and our doctor friend in Little Rock in your prayers. Get well Ted.
Christie and I are tired, but doing well. We have had a few hiccups this week with insurance and nursing issues, but we know that God will take care of it all.
Thanks as always for the prayers, comments and encouraging words. They mean the world to us and we read and re-read them often. I will write again soon. For now,
Sweet dreams boys. We love all three of you. Keep moving along Zman.

Love seeing how well Zander is
doing and how much he's growing.
(By the way, Christie, you
look wonderful, too!)
We're praying for encouraging
reports from each of your doctor's
visits this week.
Love,
Mo

Another set of great pictures. I can't imagine how busy life is for you all.... Although I don't write as much as I did before (due to life with 3 kids), please know that you are never far from my thoughts and are always in my prayers. Give all of those sweet boys hugs from your Buckeye family.
Much love,
Aunt Heidi and family

Hey! So glad to hear Zander is doing well. We have two appts tuesday..it'd be great to run into you guys! Ethan is doing well. He is up to 12 lbs now! We went for the transplant consult in Ohio and they accepted him for transplant! Praise God! We feel Ethan is gonna pull through this like a champ and the lord will watch over us as we start yet another long hard road. Hope Zanders appts go well this week.

You all are definitely in our thoughts and prayers. I've been praying that God would give Dr. St. Charles discernment and wisdom in dealing with Zander this week at the appointment.

I am glad that you guys got some well deserved down time last week! We missed you in Sunday school but know that you were lifted up to the heavenly throne of the one who can move the mountains, heal the sick, and change the world with just his voice!
