Well we went to visit Akron Children’s today. Brian had a scheduled appointment with Dr Patton at 1pm. They did a finger poke, and we got good results.
WBC = 7.7, Hgb = 14.2, Plat = 227, and ANC = 4.5
The main reason for our visit was for Brian to get his last Baby Shot. 
He received his MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella). Yes, he cried….but surprisingly, he didn’t hold his arm at tension for long afterwards. Dr Patton had an emergency and was not in Clinic, so we met with Sue Neitz. Carla the school teacher came in to visit as well. They are so proud of Brian and can not believe how his looks have changed.
Our next appt is right before school starts in the fall with Dr Patton.
On Sunday our family had the privilege of going to Cedar Point with some friends. We had an awesome day. Brian rode basically every ride. (including Top Thrill Dragster) YIKES! Ed and I watched. It just doesn’t look as appealing to me as it used to. The day was perfect. Warm in the sun, but not too hot, and cool in the shade. The kids were practically running from ride to ride. Wait time was 15 – 20 min max.
The miracle healing of Brian’s back just brings me to tears. The fact that he was able to ride those roller coasters without pain…Thank you Jesus!! God has blessed us in so many ways!
We are loving the warm weather. Memorial Day weekend we took a camping trip to Baylor Beach and invited Ed’s sister and family along. It was beautiful and the kids were able to swim. I think Brian’s cousins are begging to come along again before summer is over. We have some more long weekends planned. One to Seneca Lake, one to Hocking Hills, and one to Cooke’s Forest. We just love our camper and I enjoy being with Ed and the kids. We have two families that we are really close to that we caravan along with. We take the 3 campers and have loads of fun.
Well have a terrific week. Here is one of my favorite sayings:
Work like you don’t need the money. Love like nobody has ever hurt you. Dance like nobody is watching. Sing like nobody is listening. Live as if this was paradise on earth.
God Bless! -Jolene
Jolene,
I was just thinking about all of you this past weekend when mom brought up something about Brian. I had no idea! I am so sorry you had to go through all of this, but I am so happy that everything is getting better!!!
I hope to see you all again some day soon, it has been far to long.
My heart and prayers are with you and your family!
