Okay, so I am going to give this blog thing another shot. I haven't written since August. What is new? A LOT!! First lets update on Asher. He is already 8 months old. He is very nosey, wants to be around the action. He had to have surgery to fix his kidney on November 4. At first we got bad news. His ureter was shaped like a W instead of more like a C and it looked like hot dog links. They had to cut out a lot of it and were afraid it would be short and difficult to reconnect. Well, they moved the ureter and everything looked okay. A couple of weeks later he was hospitalized again for infection. It is a loooooong story, but lets just say thank the lord I had a clue because they were ready to take him back to surgery (his doctor was on a mission trip in Peru) and put in a tube that would drain his kidney into a bag. I said how about we treat the green stuff coming out of his drain is an infection first?!! Well, it was! Our first couple of radiology tests after surgery did not show much improvement, but we just had one late Feb and it was improved!! Praise the lord, no tests for 6 months! Otherwise, Ash is a very happy baby who loves attention, talking, clapping and his big brother Sawyer.
Speaking of Sawyer, he just turned 3 in February!! He is quite the character as most 3 year olds are. He has changed his name to "Bubba" unless he is mad at Asher and then he is Sawyer again. He is currently fascinated with sticks and Backyardigans. (A cartoon in case you aren't familiar). He is into bad guys and good guys and can still hit a line drive like you can't believe. We are thinking he might get drafted at 18. Well, at least Drew does anyway!
As for Drew and I, we are about to have our 5th wedding anniversary. We are both still just working hard and recently have been trying to run. It is going pretty good! Well, I am going to try to get better at this so check back for more frequent and shorter updates!!
