August 26th...

Last week I took Kyson to see his surgeon, Dr. A. He said everything is looking good and we are going to plan on doing the next surgery on Aug. 26th. We are going to have some tests done at the beginning of August to confirm that date.

I have to admit that the last few weeks have not been easy for me. I have worried and felt overwhelmed a lot while taking care of Kyson. In fact Dr. A even said, "I think you are more stressed then he is!" and that is probably true. After being reassured from the doctors that he is doing well I have felt much better and more confident.

Kyson is such a sweet boy. He smiles and tries to "talk" to everyone he sees. I think he is beginning to discover his hands as he watches them very closely. I can't believe he is three months old. We have been through so much already it feels much longer than that yet I feel like he jumped from being 2 months old to 3 months old without me even knowing it. Every day I thank my Heavenly Father for the chance to hold him and love him. He is my little miracle.

Caleb has done really well with all that has been going on with Kyson. I don't feel like I get to spend as much time with him as I would like as Kyson takes up so much of my time and energy. When Jared is home he helps me out so much with Caleb and I know Caleb loves it. Today he woke up from his nap after Jared got home and all he wanted was his Daddy. He was so happy to see him. It's hard to believe he will turn two next month.
Here is a fun picture I took of him at the park the other day...

Ahh...you are so incredible! I know that Heavenly Father is completely aware of you and will provide comfort in the moments you need it most! Andrea, I am so grateful for you! I adore your amazing family! I look forward to the time when I can be a Mom and look to you for your incredible example. You are an amazing Mom and Jared is a great Dad! I love you!

Love the picture. Seriously, what kind of camera do you have?

Heather said...

Great shot Andrea, I can tell you are loving your new camera and seem very comfortable with it. I kinda wish Phil hadn't gotten something so big for us, I feel like it is more camera than I can handle, I just need to learn it.

Andrea, you are doing a great job with Kyson. Just hang in there. I know it's easy to worry a lot though. I worried about my Chloe all the time until her doctors would tell me things similar to what your doctor told you about being more stressed than Kyson. But you know what? Stress and concern is just part of being a mom and I think you are a great one!!!

It would be so hard to go through what you have gone through. Just think -- Heavenly Father chose you to be the mommy who helps Kyson get what he needs! You're so special to be chosen for that!

That is the cutest picture. He should be a model.

I can't imagine how much stress you guys are under. I know I get really worried about the future (in pretty much every area of my life) because of what happened with Jackson. I think when something that you plan & work toward doesn't go how you pictured it, it can seem like EVERYTHING is out of your control. Anyway, I really admire you & Jared & the great parents that you are! Lincoln & I couldn't take our eyes off Caleb a few Sundays ago...he is SO cute!
