Post number 98!

So sorry about not writing in a while but no news is good news right! Well we are coming up on a year since Jason relasped and I am both extremely excited and equally terrified. Everything has been relatively uneventful except for an UTI with Jason but he is on antibiotics for that and it seems to be clearing up. It seems like we cant do anything but wait for the other shoe to drop. I think we have been bombarded with so much for the past 3 years that we have kind of forgotten how to live normally or our new normal! Jason is getting stronger at every turn. He is still going to physical therapy 3 times a week and his improvement is great. He still has a very long way to go but he will get there I know it! We went to Arkansas this past weekend for a short trip to celebrate one of our niece's first birthday and to celebrate Ronan's third birthday. It was a nice trip and the first we have ever got to take as a family. Oh yes you read that right our little man turned 3. You never beleive the people that say enjoy it while you can because they grew up so fast until you have one yourself. Where did our baby go? Oh J went to see the opthamalogical surgeon and she said that she does not beleive that Jason has Graves Disease, we will know with more certainty after the CT scan this Friday. Well I'll leave you for now and hopefully more uneventful updates will be filling this corner of the web!Prayers Welcomed!Kimmy

Time passes by......

So not a whole lot going on in the world of Jason's Journey. Thats the way I like it. Jason continues to go to physical therapy and he is improving. He had a DEXA scan back in March which is a bone density test for those who dont know. His left hip is osteoporotic along with head of the femur the right hip is osteopenic which is not good just not to the point of osteoporosis yet. So they started him on the flying nun medicine or Boniva for those who didnt get my Sally Field reference. Hopefully that will start replacing some of what his bones have loss. We have the appointment with the opthamological surgeon to see what is happening on the grave's disease front. Interesting enough he has the appointment before he has the CT. Lets see Monday I drove down to Texas State to get everything cleared up for me to enroll for the fall. I am sooooo excited. We are driving up to Arkansas next week to visit my sister and nieces', Reagan is turning one already! Boy how time flies, as it happens Ronan's birthday is going to be while we are up there so we will celebrate that too. Although lucky little guy that he is is having two parties. Then Easter is the same weekend as Roo's party and then maybe ArtFest up in Austin with Carolyn if we are not pooped out of how busy this month has been. Well we are all doing pretty good so far, will report more when there is something to report.....Prayers Welcomed. Kimmy
