Still Waiting...

Sorry it has taken me so long to post an update but I keep thinking maybe in a couple more days I will hear the ACTUAL date the next surgery is scheduled. It has now been over a month since we were in Cincinnati and they are STILL waiting to get confirmation from the three doctors on a date and length of time the procedure is likely to take. This means that we do not have a date set yet! If you can imagine, I'm getting a little perturbed and I'm sure the scheduling people are tired of me calling, but come one peeps....!!!!!!

The boys attended their first volleyball game this past week...Sarah and I have been playing on a park and rec team and were in the championship game last week. The boys did really well at the game...I wasn't sure how it would go considering the loud noises, buzzers, and such. We have just been plugging along...using the few nice days here and there to get the boys outside because they spend a good portion of the day standing or playing by the front door or standing by the window staring dreamily outside : ) They absolutely LOVE being outside!

The boys caught a little bug somewhere and where Kellen just gets a runny nose for a couple days, Carson has a cough and his secretions from his trach get thick. It changes the feel of the days because it is frequent suctioning and hearing Carson's cough just makes me hurt. Some of it is that the trach makes his cough sound even worse than it is and so far, he has remained pretty happy with his contagious smile on his face. But I am SO thankful that the boys have remained healthy for the majority of the winter...which is a miracle in and of itself. Although we don't leave the house much...there are lots of people that come into our home.

Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks!
