Meet Jack the Dog





This is Jack. We adopted him. Isn't he cute? Jack is 8 months old and is a honey of a dog. The boys LOVE him and he is incredibly good with them. He's hypoallergenic and Mason has been fine with him. It's like he has always been a part of our family.




Jack let's Maddox lay on him, hug him, kiss him, whatever Maddox wants to do. And Jack doesn't mess with the feeding tube!


Mason is ecstatic we have a dog. It's true love over here!











He has been a great distraction from all of the medical stuff.

My incredible family treated me to a haircut, color and eyebrow wax last week! And appetizers and a glass of wine before (with my sis) as well as dessert after. I am still overwhelmed. That was the best gift ever! I love my hair!!! I love my family!!!!

I have been wanting to write more about our experience at the hospital, but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it.

Mason and Maddox both have a horrible cough (Craig has had it for several weeks). Mason needed his inhaler the last couple nights. We are back to no sleep again. I think I have gotten a total of maybe 5 hours of sleep (and that is being generous) over the last two nights. I brought the boys in to the doctor today and they were given prednisone to take at bedtime for a couple nights.

Maddox is throwing up again with all the coughing. The boys have needed reassurance that isn't the same thing he went to the hospital for. I need the same reassurance as well. We decided to unhook Maddox from his feeding pump tonight because he was getting into the retching cycle again. Hopefully the rest will help him. I cannot even begin to think about him becoming ill again or I almost throw up. I should sleep. Hopefully tonight is a good night!

Jack reminds me of Benji. He looks so soft & snuggly. =0)

Sounds like you have turned a corner in all this health stuff with Maddox! I pray you can feel that, too. And that this virus will be gone soon! Nice to see you back on here! Give Mason the camera so he can take your picture, I want to see the new you!
