Another Good Checkup

Addi had another chest X-ray and blood work today. Everything looked good! They took her off of three medicines, so we're left with three. They'll probably just keep her on these until she has her transplant.

I am so happy about the good appointment. She goes back next Thursday for a clinic appointment.

Here's a picture of her waiting at the hospital! Seriously...she is too cute!!

Blood Drive

Let me start by saying my school is amazing!  They have done so much for me and my family and they haven't stopped yet.  They are hosting a blood drive in honor of Addi on March 22nd.  There was such an overwhelming response of people who wanted to participate that they had to change the time to accommodate more people.  If you are interested in participating, please see the attached flyer of how you can schedule an appointment. 

Thanks so much for all of your support!

Foam Curlers

Saturday Darrell and I went to the Houston Rodeo Cook-Off. We had a great time with friends and enjoyed some good BBQ.

Addi stayed with her Aunt Brandi and played with her cousin Brody. After she got her bath, Brandi put those pink foam curlers in her hair. My mom used to put the same ones in my hair when I was a kid. I can't believe she sat still enough for Brandi to put them in her hair! The sad part is we didn't get to see the "curly" finished product because she did not appreciate them when she laid down for bed.

I can't get over how cute she looks...and serious!

Thursday Check Up

Today Addi had a clinic appointment at TCH. She had an X-ray, labs, and difibulator download. Everything looked great! Dr. Denfield adjusted her meds again. She's making progress! She'll go back next week for another X-ray to make sure everything is still looking good.

Here's a picture from the other day wearing her daddy's boots. She look's, as she would say, like "a mess"!

Too Sweet for Words

Addi is doing great! She is bouncing off the walls and really enjoying being home. We took her out to the mall yesterday. It's the first time she's been "out" since we've been home. She loved it.

Si, Addi likes to spend time in her brother's room. She likes to sit in his chair and other times she likes to get some of his toys to play with. I went to see where she was at this morning, and she had his little Mickey Mouse lap table out from under his bed. All I could hear was "mouse", "roof roof", (for Pluto), and "quack" (for Donald). I had to get her coloring book and take everything out into the living room. It makes me happy to see her with Cade's things. I can't help but think that Cade may not have appreciated it if he were here (haha).

Don't mind the hair. She wanted it up and it slowly falls out because it is so fine...and she wouldn't let me fix it!

Check Up

Today Darrell took Addi back to TCH to have another X-ray and to do labs. The X-ray still looks good! Praise God!! They also took her off one dose of the diarrhetic. That was good news too. She'll go back next week for a clinic appointment to have her device checked, X-ray, labs, and blood pressure checked. Things are going really good and she is just so happy.

When she got home she wanted to watch Tangled. Here she is relaxing on the couch watching her movie.

Thank You

We are home and Addi is super excited! She is back to her normal self, bouncing off the walls. I started back to work today and my mom will be watching Addi until she can go back to Ashley's.

We just wanted to give a special thank you to our amazing parents. Darrell and I can't thank you enough for all you do for us. They both came up to the hospital every day and brought food, did our laundry, and brought whatever else we needed. They are so supportive and make everything easier for us. Addi had a great time walking around the floor with Mimi and MawMaw and taking stickers from PaCade and PawPaw. Thanks Mimi, PaCade, MawMaw, and PawPaw for loving us and being there for us!! We love you more than you know!
