We got a little more sleep last night, emphasis on the little. He's still very very fussy during the day and through the evening and its getting us feeling a bit overwhelmed. Rachel's been counting on some time to call people like the insurance companies and doctors but she hasn't had any since she's been dealing with Isaiah most of the time and any chance she gets she takes a nap (which I don't blame her for) Other than the lack of sleep for all of us, we're doing well!

I wish we could help. I'm not much of a baby person, but I'd be willing to babysit for a few hours, just to give you guys a break!

I'll say a few prayers for you instead. Mat and Malia have it right... with God ALL things are possible! Keep up the fight! We love you,

Happy New Year!

I haven't updated in forever, and that's a good thing.  Nothing major to report, oh wait, yeah we had another kid in August of 2018 so I guess there's that.  (Isaiah's holding Annabelle in the picture above)  What I really mean to say is that nothing major has been going on with Isaiah surgery wise which has been good.  There's another cranial vault in the next year or two and maybe some finger straightening / bends at the same time, but not imminent.  (Famous last words right?) There's been a dearth of updates to this for over 2 years, but  I don't know that our daily lives are that worthy of constant blog posts, and anyways who really blogs that much like this these days?  I'm just posting for those few who still check in here on the occasion to let you know we're all still here and to keep this thing alive until the next time we need to provide any updates on Isaiah's surgeries. Thanks, BK

Pre-Op-A-Lula

 We made it safe and sound to Dallas.  Drove from ATL to Monroe, LA on Sunday and Monroe to Dallas on Monday.  Pretty much the whole trip on Monday was in torrential rain and we saw a number of cars skidded off the road and in the ditch, but we made it through it all.  We've settled into our home away from home at the Residence Inn near Medical city where we always stay and today was Pre-Op appointment day.  We had a string of appointments from 10:30-3 pm and Isaiah was a trooper   We started out with pre-registration so we don't have to deal with it at 6:30 tomorrow morning, then had pictures, and saw the anthropologist, Dr Chan, to register all his current measurements.  She was happy with his growth and said we're pretty lucky he's within 2-3mm of being symmetrical across his face which isn't always the case with how much revision Apert kiddos have to their faces.  We then saw the intake nurses, child life, and got some labs done.  We grab...

Mountains and Valleys

Today has been one of those roller coaster days. First you're up, then you're down, there's a few twists, a couple loops for good measure, and then you're right back where you started and asking yourself 'was that it?' Well I hope so for now. We had some fun insurance things today regarding Isaiah's surgery scheduled for Tuesday next week. Apparently somehow Coventry thought we were doing it here in Atlanta which is not the case. This after yesterday we were alarmed to find out that Medical City in Dallas was going to be out of network for us. After many frantic phone calls, a bit of anxious wait and see, and a couple bouts of crying (some sad, some happy) we are fairly confident that almost all the providers will be covered as in network for his surgery come tuesday. Our last hurdle is getting the okay from Dr Leonard tomorrow that he's healthy enough for surgery. So yeah, there were times today I thought I was going to have a heart attack. This...
