Maryann finally had her surgery yesterday. On Monday they did an endoscopy and noticed that her esophagus was short. I guess most are around 10 inches and hers was 3. They also discovered that the tumor took up 2/3 of her stomach, which was much bigger than they thought. The plan was to take some of her intestine and attach that to her esophagus to make it longer but when they went in yesterday, a hiatal hernia that she had had stretched her stomach so they didn't need to use her intestine. Which was GREAT news. We are all so happy and thankful for all your prayers. She will be in Boston for a week or so and then moved to rehab in Maine.
We are currently having a new septic system installed. One of the fun parts of Maine. Ours wasn't draining into the leech field anymore so we had to spend over $13,000 to have a new one. Yup. It's hard to tell from the picture but if you look at our pool, you can see how high that mound is. At least they could do it while the ground was still frozen. Spring is just so muddy it would have been an even bigger mess.
I was working one morning from home and all of a sudden I hear this little voice behind my desk. I caught Wesley playing with Quinn's Little Ponnies.
WARNING! The following clip may include disturbing images of a child who looks like his parents never feed him. We can assure you this is not the case. His parents do make their best attempts to nourish him. He just will not get fat (it's the FA folks). Please do not contact child protective services.
Sean, while spending hours in a waiting room, found this for his iPhone. It's a lightsabre and Wesley feels like he is the baddest Jedi in town. What a stud.
I know it looks like he hits the dog, but he's not. Please do not contact the animal abuse hotline on me either ;0)
Well, that's it for now. Please say a little prayer for Alicia. They had a little scare but are okay now (Alicia flushed her line with Sprite) Scary.
Hugs,
Kristin

Oh my...that made me laugh. I love how you caught him on video and he didn't even know it. I had no idea he didn't knwo it until he noticed you. too funny! The light saber was pretty cool. I could see Tyler doing that too (not to be confused with TS). I'm sure Tyler would stand there just like Wesley and swing his phone around.
Gosh, don't you feed your kid? You let him beat your dog?
Heehee...he looks SO much like Emma does! It's amazing how thin they can be. Oh, and that is AWESOME that he is out of all therapies! Congratulations wesley! That has to be so exciting;-)
Hooray, what a milestone for Wesley not to have any special services at school! You must be so proud. And, what a handsome guy he is. The lightsabre battle was fierce. Glad it worked out well for your mother-in-law. The septic tank....well, I still think you are going to have a muddy situation on your hands....Hugs,
That's it; I'm calling Social Services AND the Humane Society! And, while I'm at it, I think I'll call the Health Dept. for the stinky mess in your back yard...
Do you think that maybe you guys will ever have one of those mysterious things called "a dull moment"???
SOOO glad to hear all is well with Sean's mom. Whew.
Hugs to Wesley for doing so awesome at school! YOU GO WESLEY!
And hugs to all of you (including Rayna). Can't wait 'til Camp!

So do you just keep that video camera in your back pocket or something? I don't know how you get all these great videos! I just love hearing that sweet little voice. Congrats to Wesley (and his devoted parents!!) on the great school news :-)
hugs,
