Updates...

Just posting an update here tonight. We found out that our nephew's cancer is T-Cell Lymphoma.... or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He has already started his chemo. It is just good to have all the test results back so he can know what he is for sure fighting. Still asking for your prayers for him.

Prayers Please!!

Well...
I am just asking for everyone's thoughts and prayers for our family in the coming months. We just found out tonight that our nephew has been diagnosed with T-Cell Leukemia. It began with what Doctors thought was just basic pneumonia. They are going to give him some powerful steroids and if that doesn't help enough, or any, they will start him on Chemo. It just breaks my heart for him... He is so young... So much life ahead of him. He is currently at Cook's Children's Hospital for his treatments.

Jym's little cousin, born at 24 weeks gestation, is also at Cook's Children's Hospital for heart surgery. When he was born, he had a small hole in his heart and the steroids they gave him to help it close up on it's own didn't help. He has to have surgery to go in and close this small hole up. This could be a risky procedure for him, seeing as how he is SO TINY.

And... Another of Jym's cousins is in San Antonio having surgery on his back. He had the first of 2 or 3 surgeries today, lasting from 8-ish this morning to around 6-ish tonight. He is expected to be fine, but with surgery matters it never hurts to have a little prayer and lots of support on your side.

I just wanted to post this to ask you all to PLEASE keep our family in your thoughts and prayers while we are all going through this trying time. Thank-you all... Hope all is great elsewhere!

New, New, New!!

Hello All...

It's been a long while since I've written... The life of a working Mom is BUSY! lol.. Well.. I started work at the Hospital in Brady last Tuesday. It is going pretty great. Other than having to leave Raegan at the babysitter. Jym and I completely lucked out and she gets to stay at the daycare at the school with Jym.. It is WONDERFUL!! It is pretty cheap... Great Sitter... and Best of All.... Raegan has her Daddy there if she needs him. And he gets to visit her during his lunch break! I LOVE IT! Raegan has a few "new" things in her life other than the daycare! As of 10.11.2008 and 10.28.2008, she said "DaDa" and "MaMa", respectively. I can't say that she says them ALL the time... but she does say 'em. I'm still not too sure she knows what they mean/that it is US or not... but like others have told me... I guess it is Possible! :) It feels great to hear her say MaMa! lol.. Another "new" thing to her is SITTING UP!!! On 11.3.2008, Raegan sat up ALL BY HERSELF for a WHOLE 30-45 seconds playing with her toys and, of course, watching TV. lol... She can now sit up for quite a while. She sat up for most of Jym's basketball scrimmage this past weekend, and she LOVES to sit up and watch Max and laugh at his barking. (Her Daddy and I don't seem to think his barking is all that funny! lol...) She's also started MANY new foods, and seems to like them all. Her favorites for the time being are Apples with Blueberries and Squash. She has been teething, or going through the "teething process" now for about 3 months. It is literally wearing me out! lol.. Momma's ready for some TEETH!! lol... Every once in a while I'll feel little spots on her gums where I think one MIGHT come through... but the next time I feel... It's GONE!! UGH! Just come in already! lol.. At least she's taking it like a trooper. She hasn't gotten all that grouchy or even "sickly" like I've been told happens. (Watch... I just jinxed us!) She still has those BIG BLUE eyes that either came from her Daddy or her Pa (My dad)... No one else has those eyes! We hope they stay... They, along with her long eyelashes, are so beautiful... We've been told numerous times by complete strangers, that we are gonna have our hands full when she is a teenager and starts dating... UGH... A whole other time I don't want to think about!! All is going pretty great in the Dennis Household... Hope all is great else where!
