Jared is scheduled for surgery
7 weeks from yesterday. He's getting the Monty and bladder augmentation. What does that all mean? Well in short they take some intestines and enlarge his bladder so it holds more. Right now it only holds about 240 cc which ain't that much. Then they clamp off his urethera and make a new stoma from his bladder to his belly button and he'll cath that way. It's a long healing process and he'll come home with tubes for several weeks. He will probably miss about 3 weeks of school, but he's ready to do this. I don't feel as nervous as I have in the past. He's had 6 surgeries and is a tough kid. I might change my mind the few days before. We'll see.My cousin Amy got married again. Her wedding was so nice. And the reception was OMG. The open bar was a plus too;) This is our family picture with a stand in for Megan because she refused to be in the picture. The little girl's mom thought it was hillarous.
The view from the 43rd floor where the reception took place.
And at night.
My friend Jennifer is pregnant with twins. She found out they are both girls. Her triplets are 10 2 boys and a girl. Her Tobey is Jared's best friend. He has SB too. Jennifer is single and has gotten pregnant though insimenation both times. She is a great mother and loves her kids!!! Maybe she will give me her van when she trades up to the 15 passanger one;)
The week Jared was at camp Megan went to work with me. I think she hardly worked;)
And we took her to monster beer night at Franknsteins our local sports bar
I also got laid off a few weeks ago. I am waiting for my unemployment while I look for a new job, but with Jared having surgery in 7 weeks it might not be a good idea because I will be at home taking care of him.
My friend Sherra had a baby boy. I waited outside the door and heard his first cry. Amazing. He is a very pretty baby named Milo.
That's Milo with my friend Julie holding him.

Great update. I LOVE the family pic (with stand-in). Jared will be in my thoughts and prayers. He is such an amazing guy and I hope that this all goes well and he is pleased with the results! Sorry about your job, but maybe things happen this way for a reason.
And do you know what a "small world" it is? I've "seen" your friend Jennifer online before! As soon as you started describing her, I thought that sounded very similar to somebody I've seen on the Lotsofkids message board, then you when you said her son's name was Tobey, I knew for sure. Very cool!
Oh wow what an update. Firstly let me say what a brave kid Jared is, he is a little superhero. Hugs.
Love the stand in pic, too funny, you are soo going to have a story to tell her kids about that one day. Hugs ref the job but like you say maybe it came at the right time with Jareds surgery and all. Hats off to your friend with all those kiddies alone, she is one brave chick. Happy Anniversary for you both for yesterday, sorry I missed it love Sam
I'd be a wreck with my kids having surgery, but I'm always like that.. He's going to do great and I pray for good healing.
The job situation stinks, but I think you're right about the timing. God works nicely that way sometimes, at least I look at it like that. Hopefully something better comes along at the right time.
Congrats on all the new babies..and does multiples run in J's family? WOW!!
I love the family pic..too cute. What does Megan think of her stand-in? ROFL
Now we just need an update and some new pics of Wendy. Hehe
And happy belated anniversary..
The family pic is great - even with a stand in for Megan. That silly girl.
I'll be sending you positive thoughts over these next few weeks. Even though Jared has done surgery before, you need support too. It's still a scary thing.
Congrats to your cousin on her wedding. The views were breathtaking - esp the night one.
Congrats to Jennifer on the news of twins!
Congrats to your friend Sherra too on her new addition Milo. What a sweet looking baby!
Hang in there on the job search. It's tough to have to look and find anything while knowing your baby has to have surgery. {{{hugs}}}
