On the Air

Hello, everyone... if anyone is still out there... is this thing on? Welcome back to my little blog. Things have slowed down a bit around here. My computer has flown off to that great electronic junk heap in the sky, but for now I can use Josh's desktop. There's too much lost time to really catch up completely, so I'm going to be giving you some bits and pieces of what's been happening since December and the great ITP incident.
This is how we spent the end of December and the beginning of January. It was one of the most helpless feelings in the worlds watching my son struggle through an illness that didn't make him feel sick. He didn't understand why he was in the hospital... why he was hooked up to so many tubes... and why Mommy and Daddy just stood there and let the doctors hurt him over and over again. His blood was drawn countless times before the ordeal was over. To this day he'll still tell you he was in the hospital because his arm was hurt. (He just remembers the splint he had on his arm to keep him from pulling out his IV.)

Thankfully we're almost done with ITP and blood draws. Caleb has one more scheduled draw, and if that comes back ok we can consider him cured. That's all for now. I have more pictures to sort through, but I'm sure I'll find some more in there to share.
