Growing in His Grace
Mar. 21, 2007
..as of Today

Well, for starters, the geneticist appointment went.  It wasn't good news, wasn't bad news.  The Dr. did say that she doesn't think it's achrondroplasia (most common type of dwarfism) however she does think there is a type of skeletal dysplasia that we might be dealing with.  She took a blood test to rule out achrondroplasia, and then did full body x-rays to start her search on what to test for next.  So things are pretty inconclusive at the time being.  We should hear from them soon, but no time line was set.  She did say she was focusing more on the top of the spine/neck area.  So maybe that's a good lead.  Please continue to pray for the dr.'s wisdom and for whatever  is going on with S.J. that it is as painless as possible.  On a few fun notes, he is eating peas and bananas now!  He LOVES them!  His new favorite toy is his feet!  He LOVES bathtime... he kicks and splashes so much I end up with more water on me I think!  He's got his daddy's love of water for sure!  He's got 6 teeth already!  What a grin!  In 2 weeks he'll be 6 months old, I can't believe he's 1/2 a year old, time sure does fly!

We got word today that all of Stoker's documents have been processed and accepted to A&M.  Now we are just waiting to hear if they will be accepting Stoker to the college or not.  It will go through general admissions, then on to the ocean engineering admissions.  We are praying that the Lord gives us much wisdom if he's accepted, and that we can find a church home in College Station.

I'm doing well.  Still adjusting to being a mom!  I can't believe how wonderful, yet exhausting, it is at times.  Just tonight as I was putting him to bed, he was lying there next to me with one hand on his belly and the other hand holding my finger and it was just such a perfect moment.  And a moment at that because then daddy coughed and well he went wide awake and flailing all over the place!   But no one can ever prepare anyone for the amount of love you can pour into one little person (no pun intended).  And I hear you only learn to love more, not less, when you have more.  I love my son, and I look forward to many more!  I just can't wait untill he's old enough to do his own laundry!!!! hehe

This is Stoker Jr.s first fishing trip!!  Look at that proud daddy!

 

 

This is him rolling over:

Just found your blog and read through all of your entries. Do you know any more from the doctors? I know it is heartbreaking to worry about your child. Praying you are doing well.
