We continue to have a great time in NC!

Alex seems no worse for the wear after the scare on Monday! Tuesday we headed up to Wilmington to have Alex's 5 year pictures done. They came out awesome.

Wed​nesday we had one of our best days! One of my closest friends Heather (who I taught with for 5 years) is at the beach with her family 10 minutes from Mimi's house. Wednesday morning we headed over to their beach house. Not only were Heather's 2 kids, Dolan and Connelley (5, almost 4) there, but also a whole slew of "big kid" cousins. I actually got to sit on the beach chatting with Heather while all the kids played and entertained themselves! We all had so much fun that we are heading back for a recap this morning.

Yes​terday Buggy was a little out of sorts and he had a low grade fever last night, but I am pretty sure it is just the stress of doing so much. Please pray that he is NOT getting sick.

Tomorr​ow, Grandpa comes back for the weekend. So we are really excited for that.

Thanks for following our journey!

Alex officially took several years off my life this morning! We were out running errands and Buggy was dancing around a store. He tripped on the edge of a carpet and fell hitting his head on the tile. His nose started pouring blood. All that I could hear was the words of our hematologis​t...we don't need to worry too much about bruising, but nosebleeds can get bad. We did get the bleeding stopped. Judging by the contents of his stomach drainage, he swallowed quite a bit. And he has a big bruise on his forehead just in time for our 5 year old pictures! I was not completely comfortable until he woke up from his nap with his usual singsong "I'm Awake".

Other then that, we continue to have a great vacation. We were sad to see Grandpa leave this morning, but he may be back this weekend.

Tha​nks for checking in with us...

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are safely in NC and having a blast. We are hanging out with Mimi, PopPop and Grandpa. We have been alternating "fun" days with quiet days and so far Alex is doing great! We have been to the waterpark, swam in Mimi's pool and hunted alligators with Grandpa. It is so nice to relax and enjoy some much needed time away from medical concerns.

After our day at the waterpark, Alex's cheeks were red. I looked at Mom that night and commented on how healthy he looks with a little color in his cheeks. We have seen no signs of problems as we are being careful to build in rest time and stay on our schedule as much as possible.

As always when we are away, if you don't hear from me, don't worry! I am just enjoying the downtime.

Th​ank you for always keeping us in your prayers...
