On the move!

















My LiL'Man is growing up!! In two weeks Ty has crawled, sat up from a laying position and today I went to get him from his crib after a nap and he was standing up! Seems like just yesterday that he was born! And now I can't keep up w/him..he's all over the place getting into things that are NOT his toys, I mean you really shouldn't buy kids toys, b/c they would rather play w/pots and pans, boxes, bags, rugs, shoes....anything that's not a toy!!

Ty has been doing great, we're still on antibiotics and he doesn't like having to sit still and wear a mask for 20min.....sometimes he'll fall asleep during it. We go back to Duke on the 23rd for a quick checkup and to get a throat culture to see if we have gotten rid of the pseudomonas and I'm Praying/Hoping that it's gone and stays gone!! He's healthy and happy though so it must be working..he hasn't gotten sick(knock on wood)!!!! Then on the 27th we go back up to Duke to do a PFT which is where they sedate him and put a mask and a vest on him to test his true lung function so that they can better treat him and know how his lungs are doing so far. Hopefully that comes back great..I'm really nervous about that. And like the first week of May we go BACK up to Duke for his normal checkup. We are going to be very busy!! I love my baby and will do anything/everything possible to keep him healthy!

We have rented our townhome out and on May 5th we close on our brand new house!! We are soo excited and can't wait to get in and settled. We are currently staying at my parents house right now and having a fun time! I know my Mom is ready to have her house back...we have come in and have our stuff and Ty's toys everywhere...LOL, I'm sure she loves it though.

So things are looking up for us and I Pray/Hope that it continues to stay that way...just have to keep my head held high and have faith in God that everything will be just fine! God Bless!

Ty's First Easter


I haven't written in awhile, alot has been going on. We are currently living w/my parents right now and getting our townhome rented out! We have been looking at houses and we think we might have found one. Going to go look at it again along w/a few others. Sooo excited about buying a house!


Ty's last clinic visit went great, he was 15lbs or so and lungs were still sounding clear. He also exceeded their expectations!! Well a week later we got his cultures back and he cultured a bacteria called pseudomonas. A nasty bacteria that they take seriously! So we had to take Ty up to Duke this past Tuesday so that his Dr. could check him out. We almost had to stay up there for a week to do antibiotics through IV's, but his Dr. said he looked great, lungs sounded clear and he wasn't showing any signs of being sick so they sent us home w/antibiotics that he has to do twice a day for a month. He's on Tobi(inhaled antibiotic) and Cipro(oral antibiotic) both twice a day. He has done great so far with the Tobi..he has to have a mask on which looks like a fishy(LOL) for 20min that has this mist coming out of it with the meds. He's such a trooper though...soo proud of my LiL'Man for doing so great! I'll have to get a pic of him w/his fishy mask on later. I hope and pray that these meds get rid of the pseudomonas and that it stays away and NEVER comes back!!!!!


Also can't wait for Ty's first Easter! We are leaving for the beach tomorrow to stay at my Sister's beach house. Then spending time w/Kelly's family on Sunday! I got Ty a little wagon with stuff in it for Easter..can't wait! :) Well that's the update for now..hope everyone has a Happy/Safe Easter!!
