Off To Camp

For months now we have been planning for camp. Through the amazing generosity of some wonderful people Junior, Abby, and I have the opportunity to attend one of the Joni and Friends Family Retreats.
Last Saturday we thought it might all be off when Junior spiked a fever. Monday he saw the doctor and was put on antibiotics. We had the all clear to still attend camp as long as he was significantly better by this weekend. He had a few rough days but yesterday was off his oxygen and only needed minimal support during the night. So the camp is a go and now I am off to get packed. So much to do, so much to prepare, and so much excitement about it all. Junior is thrilled and can't wait to head to Santa Cruz on Monday morning. Junior has never been to "camp" so this will be an amazing adventure for all of us. Our next post will be next weekend after we get home. I posted more about camp over on his regular blog so feel free to jump on over there.

So Far Behind

This poor blog continues to get neglected. Life has been crazy and Junior has been keeping me on my toes. This crazy weather means lots of asthma and the little guy gets so frustrated about not being able to go outside. We ended up running to the hospital for emergency labs on Friday because labs the day before came back with a very high clotting time. It ended up being a lab error but we still are trying to work out why he has such increased bruising. Feel free to jump over to his regular blog if you would like to take a peak at our amazing and sometimes crazy journey.
Sunday was the 10th anniversary of Junior becoming part of my family so there is a special post up on his regular blog about that. Also feel free to visit Junior's ipad blog to see how things are going with his communication.

In mid June we are going to camp. This is a first ever for us and I am very nervous but excited. Junior can't wait and starts giggling anytime it is discussed. It is a family camp for families with a disabled family member. Here is the link for Joni & Friends retreats. They have them in several states and even internationally if you are looking for a camp for your family.

I promise to get to back to regular blog posts in the near future once life slows down a bit. We are so happy to have summer arrive but sure wish the warm weather would show up as well.
