Dear Lexi, I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. I SUCK at updating this. Good news! You have had your cast off for about a month now! Your arm has full function and everything. You’re still struggling to fully use it because it was in a cast so long that you … Continue reading ❤️ 3/10/17
Dear Lexi, I bet you’re thinking this post is to tell you the exciting news that you finally got your cast off, but you didn’t. It feels like it will be on for awhile longer. When we went last month to get the x-ray there was not a significant amount of changes. What I am … Continue reading 11/16/16
Dear Lexi, Welp, another crazy day for you today. Not only did you turn 4 today, my nightmare about your pins came to life too. Daddy and I started the day by singing you and Snoozer awake with the birthday song and going upstairs to open gifts. Libby got cowgirl boots and you got a … Continue reading Happy Birthday 4 Year Old!
Dear Lexi, I guess I’ll start this by saying I am terrible at updating this when I’m feeling emotionally drained. So, I’ll just have to go back to 6/3 when all the arm chaos truly started. On June 3 we trekked up to Denver Children’s for what we thought would be 1 of 2 surgeries … Continue reading 20 days of crazy. 6/23/16
Dear Lexi, It has taken me a week to write this for you. Sometimes I just don’t have the right words. Honestly, I still don’t think I do. Processing everything and trying to look at our options from every point of view can be exhausting. I hope that when you are old enough to understand … Continue reading Upcoming Surgery
Dear Lexi, Yesterday we arrived at Denver Children’s Hospital and went straight up to the 7th floor. Your appointment with Onclolgy was scheduled for 10:30, we arrived a little early since I had to make a detour to Loveland to pick up Libby’s purse that she forgot at your doctors the day before. I had … Continue reading 4/9/2016
Dear Lexi, I’m going to keep this update short and sweet. I just want to ask all the people who keep updated on you to say a prayer for you. We noticed a drastic change in your arm yesterday. Went to your regular doctor today. He took XRays that show tumor changes in your arm. … Continue reading Prayers going up.
Dear Lexi, We have had a crazy week, Dad is out of town for the Army and our schedule had been chaotic as ever. We took your dog to get spayed and she is proudly rocking her cone of shame. I am a firm believer in everything happening for a reason. However, when everything went crazy … Continue reading Is this real life?!
Dear Lexi, Hey sweet girl. It’s been awhile since we wrote an update. We have been to a few very frustrating appointments and I have been avoiding my emotions about it. I think last time I wrote to you I mentioned that we were referred to the vascular malformation clinic because Dr. Green thought they … Continue reading
Dear Lexi, Just a little update. Last week we went to endocrinology at Denver Children’s. Dr. Green is incredible. She is always on time (a huge feat for a doctor). She is so patient and always explains everything in great detail too. This appointment she was amazing and made the decision to wait for your … Continue reading 10/15/15
