AHHHHHHHH!
OK, I'm better now.....I think.
Dyson starts kindergarten in ONE week!!! Next Monday he will have his very first day of school! I can't believe it. I'm in a constant state of denial. I have to talk about to just about everyone I see just so it can become more real to me so I don't have a complete melt down next Monday. (although I'm not sure it's going to work)
When Dyson was born he was the joy of my existence. If you don't have kids you will never understand the feeling, if you have kids you know exactly what I'm talking about. Those sweet little angels bring this amazing love with them and you begin to wonder how you ever lived without them. I can still remember what it was like to hold him for the first time, and when we brought him home from the hospital. So many of my memories have to do with that little guy. And now my super handsome buddy is going off to school. I'm so proud of the progress he is making with his reading and such and I know he'll do great but that doesn't stop the emotional, sentimental part of me from coming out and getting weepy at the thought of his growing up.
Good luck Dyson, I know you'll do GREAT!
In other news I should probably update you all on Jason.
Jason has been losing weight (which we all know he doesn't have any to spare) and was exhausted all the time. He went to the doctor and we found out that he has Megaloblastic Anemia. His hematocrit was 7 (really, really low. He should have had a blood transfusion and been admitted to the hospital) and he isn't absorbing vitamin B12. So he is now on daily B12 injections and is also being treated for a parasite. (we don't know for sure if he has one because the test to find out cost 42 dollars but the drug to treat on only cost 9 so we went ahead with the treatment and did't to the test) He is already starting to feel better and is going to have a scope done of his digestive tract in December. We pray for him daily and we feel that he will be just fine.
We hope you are all doing well!

Good luck with Kindergarten! I think it is scarier for parents than for kids!
Jason's hematocrit was only 7?!?! How is that even possible? Or was it his hemoglobin? And he didn't get a blood transfusion? My nurse brain is just a little curious about that. Hope he starts to gain those red blood cells back SOON, and starts feeling better!
Amanda! You can do it, although I will be a wreck as well when my baby grows up and goes to school! I hope Jason gets feeling better too, glad you found out what is making him sick!
As for my blog...I just updated it, just for you.
Tell Dyson good luck at school! He (and you :)) will do great! I am so sorry to hear Jason has been feeling so sick. We will be thinking of him and hoping for a speedy recovery.
don't you worry, we're helping the werner's take care of Jayson! he's filling right out with all our hearty cookin'!
it's fun to see what you are all up to. we're planning on having the baby back in the states and just hoping dad makes it home for the birth since I'm due during finals!
Oh no! We're worried for Jason! I hope everything works out and he gets well soon! Send him our love!
GOOD LUCK DYSON! YOU'LL BE GREAT! And good luck to Jason too! How frightening. Our prayers are with you.
