Life is very challenging right now. I will spare so many many details, but to sum it up I am almost 6 months pregnant w/a little boy....speaking of we've decided to name him Dallas. Figured it was appropriate, we already have a 4 yr old Austin lol...well neways, Austin is diagnosed w/cancer (hepatoblastoma to be exact), tyrosenemia type 1, and liver cihrossis. He is undergoing chemo now, his first treatment was this week, so we will be going home from hospital tomorrow. Then around January or a little after a liver transplant. So our life is a circus right now. But once we get home life will settle down a little. We'll still be busy w/drives,labwork, and many many visits for his chemo, but being home makes a huge difference.

Ashlyn is getting tutoring which she needs real bad, is 12 now...she is growing up so fast. A rebel she is. She's a tough one to get along with...even though she is my stepdaughter it's hard. We've heard through the grapeving that her biological mother has died from Hepatitis, we haven't heard from her in one year, so its real possible. I have asked Ashlyn how she feels about it and basically she's sad b/c she was her mother but honestly she doesn't care b/c she never had a relationship w/her, which we figured thats how she felt.

Travis and I are holding up as well as expected. We are leaving everything in God's hands as well as the Dr.'s, they are so wonderful and everyone is taking very good care of us. We've even had some ladies come and clean our house for us. The love is so overwhelming it's amazing.

Tomorrow or sometime later this week I will be blogging so much better than now, and when I say better I will be in much better spirits. Thanx to all who've said prayers, please continue praying for Austin and us as well b/c transplant will be around same time as baby comes.
