Waiting

In December, we noticed several lumps in Tucker's neck. We were concerned, so we talked to a couple of doctors who both told us just to watch it for a couple of months. At Adde's one year check-up, we mentioned to our peditrician that they were still there, so he scheduled us for an ultrasound. Tucker did amazing during the ultrasound. He was in his Thunder gear, so the tech talked Thunder with him taking his mind completely off the scan. The scan showed seven lumps the largest being 1.75 cm.

Yesterday, our wonderful peditrician texted me that there was something in his lymph nodes and that he needed to see us next week. We're scared.

I am so thankful for two of my closest friends who cried with me yesterday. My friend Danna sent me this text taken from Psalm 91 from The Message that I have clung to...

"If you hold on to me for dear life," says God, "I'll get you out of any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times; I'll rescue you, then throw you a party. I'll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!"

We go Monday morning for a consult with a different doctor. Until then, we are staying busy and clinging to those words.

Adde - 1 year

It's a little late, but it's hard to believe our baby girl is one!

-She is a very busy little girl with a red head attitude to match her auburn colored hair. When she wants something, she wanted it five minutes ago!!
-She still adores her big brother. She follows him everywhere and "talks" to him constantly.
-She broke herself of bottles a couple of weeks before her first birthday.
-At her one-year check-up, she weighed 20 lbs. 10 oz.
-She is starting to become a little chatterbox! She says momma, da da, bubba (her first word), no, and more (when she wants a bite).

Oh, how we love this little redhead!!
