A Quick Update

I am so sorry to my loyal readers who are anxiously awaiting updates on Spencer. I am still trying to recover from our ten day hospital stay and am working up the energy to post on the last few days. I will say that Spencer is about the same. He is still experiencing intense tummy pains which I believe is mucositis (mouth sores) which can cover from mouth down throat, in GI tract and out the bum. Luckily his are not that far but I think they irritate his belly. The only thing really to ease the pain is "magic mouthwash" (the actual name on the prescription) which consists of Lidocaine, Maalox and Benedryl. He WILL NOT take it. He does not like the taste of it so I went to the pharmacy tonight and got a new bottle with a watermelon flavor, maybe that will taste better to him. He has been a trooper today trying to smile as much as he can, trying to fight. I love that guy. We ask for special prayers to make his tummy pains go away. We are all set up at home with TPN and I am learning how to do new things everyday, which is very intimidating but kind of fun at the same time. I will gather pictures and and post more tomorrow. I just wanted to give a quick update during my little intermission! I will have more energy tomorrow! Love you all! (Don't forget to pray for tummy pain to go away!) Thanks!
P.S. Here is another happy thought. My bald baby boy! He is so happy that his brother is home now!

    We are praying for spence every day and we are so anxious to come see you all in July and give you the hugs we've been dying to give you all. Gavs is the cutest little lovebug monkey I have seen. His eyes are absolutely stunning in this picture. I just want to eat him.

    Please know how much we love you all. It's hard to be so far away from family at a time like this. But we're coming as soon as we can!
