Finally, Daniels out of the hospital.

It has been an insane week. An insane 2 weeks and its only going to get more crazy. I have 2 days to get the house ready for Scott to be here and watch the kids, get ready for my conference that is in Mo for a week, my dryer went out, Daniel finally came home and is getting iv therapy at home every 8 hours and to top it all off my husband has the flu! Yikes! But God is good! While my dryer going out is hard, you know, my washer works, I have been hanging things up. Actually come Friday because we move soon, we are just having them picked up and its one less thing we will need to worry about in the end. Now who knows while I am gone just how well Scott will do with Daniel and all his medications but I have faith that God will watch over the kiddos and keep them in excellent care. If Daniel needs to continue the iv therapy, then the home nurse that has already met my ex, will come teach him how to continue it. It is not hard, but he doesnt have any medical training and is a bit nervous. It will give him a sense of what I have gone through on a weekly basis for a bit since Daniels diagnosis though. Daniel will not however get any chemo while I am gone which is a blessing as well. We are waiting for his blood counts to go up.

Other than that, just trying to be able to catch up on some rest that the family needs. With Daniel being in the hospital for the length of time he was, it kinda just wore everyone out.. as crazy as it seems.

May God continue to bless you and watch over you until next time!

Just a few pics...

Taylins Special olympic medal.. she did awsome! She continues to grow in leaps and bounds!
Daniel at the lazy 5 ranch feeding the animals. One of my favorite pics!
Daniel helped make a comercial for the Children's Miricale Network to assist in raising money for those afflicted by childhood cancer's. Daniel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia April 30th, 2008. It was a day that we redefined normal. With God's good graces, Daniel is in remission and is just finishing up his first year of intense chemo therapy. He will continue to have chemo therapy for the next two years though.

First Blog Night for the Vaux Family.

I decided to come on over and blog about what is going on with the family because it is a bit more simple to post family items here than it is on the Carepage we set up for Daniel. It is also a bit more easy to access for my family members that have a hard time with some of the other sites because of their complexity. Some of it may be a repeat of our carepages should you read that as well, so please be patient, I will learn to try to separate the two and put different pictures up for everyone to see!

Daniel is still in the hospital, unfortunately. Today was a very rough day for him too! He spiked a fever last night of 101.9 which means that he was in no way shape or form coming home today. Though even besides that Daniel was somber and quiet. He did have a platelet transfusion, a massive headache and was complaining of leg pains so on top of it, lortab was given to off set some of his chemo medication he did get yesterday as well. I am praying that he will be able to come home on Friday! There is so much to do and a very little time to do it over the next few months.

The end of April represents three things. My birthday, Daniel's year anniversary of his Leukemia, and my very first Conference in Mo for our Church. I am so excited! After that we are packing and getting ready.. for another big event...

Our time in Charlotte NC is coming to an end very soon. While our time here has been enjoyable and we have grown closer as a family unit and grown closer to our Father, it is time for me to grow even more and learn how to serve my God in what ever path has been chosen for me. I am excited and nervous all the same to be going to seminary and moving to Wa. for a few years. The other excitement also comes for what comes after seminary.. and that is to be able to see what the Lord has planned for our family.

Anyways, short and sweet tonight as I will be up early to get my husband off to work and myself to the hospital. This being Taylin's spring break for school, her best friends mom offered to take her over night and keep her til tomorrow evening so she could have some fun away from the hospital! We have a good support system here and I am so very grateful for my church family and friends that I have made since August. With God all things are possible! ... I was unsure how it would all work when I came, but I have brothers and sisters in Christ that are there come rain or sunshine. I love them all and couldn't be more appreciative of them.
