On May 5th, 2010 our life was redefined when we discovered that I have a tumor
growing in the spinal cord of my neck.

The purpose of this blog to keep an updated record of our "Life Redefined" and give you the details you might be wondering about (surgery, recovery and other random daily stuff, etc...)

For our friends and our family members who want to be kept updated this is the easiest way for us to do it. It's also good therapy for me to write it down!

We still want you to call or visit if you feel like it - we find so much strength from you. All of your words and encouraging thoughts and prayers are a great blessing for us!

Perfect Moments!

I am so happy to be able to recognize the perfect moments throughout all of this, many things in my life now seem so much sweeter.  This morning is a perfect moment!  The sun is shining and beautiful!  Brian got out for an early morning run and I have had time to sit by my window with the sun shining in to read my scriptures in a beautiful peaceful moment (felt awesome to read the words found in Mosiah 27:14-15;22-23)!

And LEVI.................................................
Drum Roll Please!.................................................................. ...
SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT! 
Yes!  

His new diet of formula and oatmeal right before bed has made a huge difference!  This will make tending him a lot less tiring for everyone!  Just 2 weeks ago he was waking up still 4 times a night, I was going to nip it in the bud soon but hadn't done it yet. 


Yesterday Andrew fell asleep while eating his afternoon snack!  Another perfect moment! 


Emily and Andrew smiling, hugging with messy chocolate faces!  Another perfect moment!


And...

Here's an Idaho Potato Joke from my Oregon friend!

"Why wouldn't the reporter leave the mashed potatoes alone? "

"He desperately wanted a scoop!"
