Projects!!!

-
 Last week was my Project completing week.  I really accomplished a lot. . . .some times I am amazed at what can be accomplished with two little boys around.  I tackled things that I have wanted to do forever and haven't made the time for.. . . . I love love LOVE do it yourself projects. I love to improve things around our house. . .I love crafting. . .So not too shabby of a week for me in that regard.


I took off our Pantry door in the kitchen, primed it with magnetic primer, coated it with Chalk Board Paint. . and now, a new message center.

Did the same thing with Paysen's closet door. . . .I love chalk board paint, I wasn't so crazy about the magnetic primer, probably wont use it again.  I got pretty woozy using it, it was super stinky and messy too.

Got about 20 pages of Parklen's scrap book completed!! This is huge for me, after putting it off for over two years.

I got a ton  of organizing done, and most importantly I got a ton of cuddling with my beautiful boys.  Spent some good time with Devan before he headed back to school! So, If I ignore the fact that little Paysen had his tonsils out and was miserable for a couple weeks, the past two weeks were alright!!

 Now Paysen is back to school, back to his little friends, back to his routine. . .back to himself, well himself with a tiny little nasally voice. . . .

Today will go down in the books as the longest day ever........ Day Zero. Transplant day. The new beginning. We started the festivities this morning at 4:00 AM......After just going to bed a couple of hours earlier, this was pretty early!!!! Paysen and I headed down to check in for his surgery....you could see the nerves on his face, I could feel them in his tiny hand that I held with in mine.. He had been looking toward this surgery for over a month. There had been so many delays, I can only imagine the things that were going on in My big boy's head...... He mustered the strength to show a brave face, however difficult. We checked him in and headed up. He took comfort in having both parents present for him. He listened as the "Sleep doctor" told of what she would do..... as we watched him we could see the clock ticking, he was growing more nervous. Paysen had a traumatic event in the operating room. It was the worst thing I have witnessed before a s

Twenty six days ago I loaded the Honda up with enough stuff for a one day trip to Denver....... Four Wednesdays, Four weekend visits with our other half....624 hours.....Twenty six days....and Parklen, Phinlynn and I are still here. Parklen's illness has seemed to steadily increase...as time has gone on, each flare up has outdone the last.  This was the worst one yet.  This one made him sicker than he has been,  this one caused concern in everyone that knows Parklen.  This stay in the hospital included a tiny infant to nurse and care for.....this stay included frequent discussion about Parklen's future....and a three ring binder handed to every parent about to take their child into a bone marrow transplant. A binder filled with facts......a binder that will make your mommy tummy churn...... I have spent much time thumbing through the pages of this BMT book.....reading over risks, skimming through rules.....every moment realizing that if I EVER thought my life was har

Today is day -5. Today was rough. There is five days left until transplant...... five days..... The new med that they started today was hard.... We're talking, the nurse didn't hardly leave the room for the entire shift..... He had ups and downs... Mostly downs..... There was a point today where Parklen's breathing caused enough alarm for the nurse to push the help button.  I watched as the entire floor worth of nurses and doctors ran down the hall towards my baby's room. He was ok.  But he scared us. There was another point today where he was shaking horribly bad...... couldn't stop if he tried.... The doctors were close by for the entire day. My stomach was in my throat for just as long.... Chemo. Poison. Paysen has lost his cool. Today I watched as he tried to tackle the Chaplin. Later, he layed down in the middle of the halway, refusing to walk...throwing a fit. He is becoming more unlike himself every day. He broke down an
