Doing More Than Just Surviving: Update on Everything....

First and foremost, my mom came out of surgery surprisingly well. We will find out the results of her lymph node biopsy this week, but the surgeon was highly optimistic that she got all the cancer. Praise God! And my mom's recovery has been amazing! She has taken no pain meds, and is up doing her own thing, extremely bored because we are all insisting that she do nothing but rest right now.

On another medical note, my niece, Lola has ended up in the hospital with RSV. She is doing well, but her oxygen levels are low, so she has to stay there until she can keep them up with out oxygen support for an entire night. RSV sucks because there are no meds to help move it out of the system. She has to fight it on her own, but have some support while she does it. We all hope she will be home by Wednesday. Prayers for my brothers family, as they are EXTREMELY exhausted going between their sick kid in the hospital and their sick kid at home (Belle also has RSV but is doing fine recovering on her own).

Aside from medical issues in the family, all is going well. We had a birthday party for Munchi on the 10th, went to the LA zoo on the 13th, and went to his friend DDT's birthday party on the 18th. Munchi was super spoiled on his birthday, so our house is overflowing with new toys from Christmas and Birthday. I am currently sorting through, deciding what we want to store for a possible next kid (not coming anytime soon) and what we are giving away. For now though, Munchi is in car and train heaven! Munchi also loved the LA zoo, and the tigers were his favorite! Here are pictures of both birthday party and zoo:
