It has been a really long and hard week. we finally got the footings pored for the addition on our house which is great. However the guy that came and pumoed the cement hooked up his house to our house and flooded the basement. i would like to blame it on him but it was not his fault. he didn't know that it was broken. in fact neither did we. SURPRISE!!!! just what i always wanted 2 inches of water in my basement. so that started out a wonderful weekend. we had a disaster cleanup company come and dry it out but we are not sure what the final damages are. we know that the laminate flooring has to be replaced and possibly the carpet. I will fnd out tomorrow when the guy comes. we ended up spending the night at my moms on Saturday night because we did not want the chemicals they sprayed to cause any problems with Xander. Saturday night was really long because Xander did not sleep at all. he was having a bad night. we went to church with my parents and then spent the rest of the day there. we took a trip to the Cemetaries to visit and remember our Family. Monday we headed to Logan to help my sis Leslie and hubby Colby pack up there house so that they would be ready to move on fri. it was a fun but long day. it was Memorial Day so we went to the park and had dinner. we finally got home about 9:00 and we were completley exausted. Xander didn't sleep well at all last night either so it was a crappy night. come to find out the pour guy has an ear infection and that is why he is upset.

Hopefully things will get better this week. i am truly hating living in a mess so i hope we can get the basement fixed soon. Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day. I just wanted to take a second to remember my Miracle Kaison, Love you Buddy and miss you tonz. we will see you again someday. We love you with all our Hearts. love Mom, Dad & Xander

So it is the end of the month and i am finally getting around to another post.


Things are going well. Not much happens at our house. We are finally getting started on the addition to our house. thay are coming today to pour concrete. YEAH!!!!
Xander is doing well, he is about 11 lbs now and is so cute. (i will post pics soon)
we did find out that he has some hearing but it is very little. we will be fitting him for a hearing aide soon to see if that might help. if not then we will have to look into a cochlear implant. things are looking more positive as he gets bigger and stronger. so far so good right! he is f 4 moths now and is so cute.
hope everyone has a good holiday weekend.
Have a good Memorial Day.

We went to the doctor yesterday hoping to get good news about Xander's eyes and head and instead it was the opposite. We knew that Xander had cataracts on his eyes but we did not even stop to think that it could be much worse. The doctor informed us that he has detached retinas and glaucoma. They are not even sure that he is getting any light in at all. The next step would be to do a test to see if the light is getting in but Tony and i have decided to wait a bit and discuss our options a little more. We are not sure if we want to put Xander through surgery's that most likely will not help. We also went to the Neuroscience's at the University and the nice doctor came in and told us that she was the wrong person to talk to and that we would need to see a Neurosurgeon. She was very kind and helpful even though she couldn't tell us much more than we already knew. With all that info i am extremely overloaded and not sure what to do. i know that i will be able to handle the situation if need be, but i am a little scared if he is going to be Deaf and Blind. I am hoping we can resolve the issue with his hearing and that we might be able to restore some normalcy. For the time being we are going to just love him as we have been and treat him as if there is nothing wrong.
Things will turn out the way they need to and Tony and i will be able to handle it accordingly
