Saturday evening, I took the kids to the orthodontists annual pool party at a local waterpark. The kids had all the cotton candy, pizza and snow cones they could possibly desire. Owen loved the giant bucket pouring water on him, the lazy river (of course) and playing with his cousins and Sis. Owen's lips get so blueberry blue when we are in the water and we had more jokes made about him eating too many blue icees. Ha. No icees here. Kam had fun with her cousins and I love that they are old enough to just do their own thing and check in every once in a while.
On Sunday, I went out for a much needed heart mom brunch. It felt good to talk and get everything off my chest. It's so nice to have friends that just understand exactly what we are going through. I would be such a hot mess without their friendships!
I spent the rest of our Sunday snuggling my babe and our kiddos. Carson finally shook that nasty flu bug he was hanging on to all weekend. We had to keep our distance but are glad Daddy is feeling better.
Kam is loving Jr High. I think she's still getting into the swing things. Early morning wake ups are not getting any easier for any of us, but we haven't been late once so I say it's a success!
It's a new week. Bring it!!

Oh Andrea....{{{HUG}}}. I wish there was something that I could do to make things easier on all of you. All I can do is offer my love and support from afar. Here for you! Praying always!
I am so sorry you are going through all this and Insurance is not cooperating. I am sorry people make unnecessary comments when you are already worried.
Mr. O is in my prayer book and he has many positive thoughts being sent his way. You are so right, one day at a time and lots of snuggles.
Breathe deeply and do a few neck rolls an d shoulder shrugs while saying ,"Everything will be fine"
xoxo hugs and a prayer for you.
Sending many thoughts, prayers and hugs your way Andrea. <3
I'm a long time reader and not sure if I've ever commented before but felt compelled to now.
"I know... get over it Andrea.." Ummm, dealing with all the logistics and emotions involved with having your son being listed for heart transplant is not something you need to just "get over". Allow yourself to feel the way you feel and not heap guilt into the mix :)
Praying for your situation and your family and PEACE for you up here in Minnesota!
