My oh MY!!!!

This small liquid gold is  the new medication that Travis is taking. We used to take 11.5 mls in each leg now we just take 10 mls in each leg. This medicatin is more concentrated. Amazing that 20-30 people donate blood and then they spin off their anitbodies and create this human imune globulin. and each week we get one bottle of this. In the next picture you can see all the bubbles that are in the medication, this is from the detergent they use to wash the blood product. Don't even get my mind wandering about what is in it that are concerned with washing away....ugh.... so far so good. Only a few side effects so we are pleased with the new medication. Thanks for the prayers for the transition.

Crazy week

It's been a week since I blogged and I bet people think I guess no news is good news ha. It's been a crazy week four baseball games last week, the stomach virus, our house on the market, and Travis starting new medication. This is the last week of school so am praying for a calmer week. Ha ha !!!!
Travis' new medication went well. Only a few side effects but considering most people had lots of side effects we will take a few. Please continue to pray that his igg numbers will rise. He didn't have that normal jolt when he gets his infusion. It might take a few weeks before the new medicine kicks in. Doing another treatment today am praying for no side effects today as no nurse is present for infusion. However, Travis said after last week, mommy you are more like a nurse than that lady. Ha. Seems like it sometimes.
Open house today so we are praying for a buyer.

Trey was inducted into National Junior Honor Society. We are very proud of him.

The things I do for kindergarten

Mad science came to our classroom to do a presentaion on electric static. The kids loved it and of course they loved it most when I touched the ball and my hair stuck up everywhich way. Glad I can be a laughing stock to kindergarten and still feel great about myself. ha.

House update

We are VERY close to finishing  the deal on the house we are wanting to buy. A few minor changes to the contract and we should be good to go. Praying all that is resolved today or tomorrow. Now for the BIG request, our HOUSE. It is officially on the market and we are hoping for it to sell quickly. So if you know anyone looking in LH send them our way. It's 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. I can send you the link if you know someone interested. Pray that we would have wisdom in all the decisions regarding both houses.

Happy mother's day

I made it through the day. Not too many tears. The boys headed to the mavericks game so they really enjoyed mother's day. ha

Mother's Day

Not sure how tomorrow will go, especially in light of my meltdown this morning. Tomorrow should be no different than any other day except it is. It's mother's day and I don't have my mother here. Many have asked how are you doing? Tough question to answer most days. Am I moving on with life, busy with the boys yes but is there a day I don't think about my mom? NO. It seems I've finally stopped thinking I need to call her but the thoughts of wishing she were here are still there. I know it's only been 4 months but it just seems the tears still flow rather quickly. I made it through my mother's day kindergarten tea with only my eyes filling up, no tears pouring but alone and at home they flow freely.  I still am very thankful my mom did not suffer and that she never knew about the lung cancer but just more time. I guess that's all we ever want with anyone who dies.When Robert asked what I wanted for mother's day my response was my mom. So even though your mom drives you nutty, requires extra time, or even makes you crazy, love them well and enjoy the time you have now. Happy mother's day!

Teacher appreciation

These little notes mean more to me than anything. They are precious and I cherish them dearly. Love the drawing of Bella and myself.

Travis' "friend"

He would be mortified to know that I am posting this on the blog but this is Travis' friend from school.

Moving?????

Well we have found another house that we really like, or let me rephrase that, a house that I like. Robert has yet to see it. We are looking at it tomorrow and our house is going on the market asap. So if you know anyone looking for a five bedroom 3 bath house in Lake highlands, send them our way. Will keep you posted after we make an offer. YIKES.... haven't we done this before? If this goes through this will be our 5th house. Surely this will be our forever house... ha
