Colby is such a lucky little guy to have you as a mother. We are so lucky to have gotten the chance to meet you guys. Colby is so full of life and I am so glad that he fought.

Sounds like you have an extremely special one with you! :) Not to mention quite the cutie!!<br />May I ask how his kidney failure is going? Are you on a transplant list? Also what meds is he taking for his blood pressure issues? My son is on Noravasc and Labetalol and they just aren't cutting it. He's now running 140's over 100's which is better than it was...but still not great.<br />I will keep your family in my prayers.

I really didn't hear the full extent of it through the family grapevine. You may not think that you are amazing, but I assure you, you are. I think that is how heroes are most often born - just everyday people dealing with the curve balls that life throws them.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314630344481444551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214578119193622240.post-6068290243780319992009-08-07T19:26:58.156-06:002009-08-07T19:26:58.156-06:00Heidi, I'll just answer your email here.

We had all our meat tested and that is the only other place he could have got it from. Crazy 1 in a million chance. <br /><br />Kim Did you see the attitude he had even before? So it's not just with preschool! =) He couldn't say No he would say DO like homer simpson. It cracked us up every time. I told him you said Hi and he kinda smiled. I think he's ready for school to start again.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626741788079929590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214578119193622240.post-6082059581509479212009-08-07T12:36:28.904-06:002009-08-07T12:36:28.904-06:00Erin you are very good at writing.

I know he is here with important work to do, if not by action certainly by example. I love you so much Colby- and yes, Erin, you may think that you are just living your life one day at a time like everyone else but the fact is that you are doing it so well and with faith. As your mother I am so proud of you and proud of the mother and wife that you have become. The love that you and John have for each of your children is a gift. while you may think that you are just raising a special needs child, remember that many would turn away in anger and fear. You have chosen to serve your son with not only the love of a parent but with Christ like love and compassion. Colby understands the deep love and commitment you have for him. He understands the strength that it takes to face the life changes that your family has made for him. Some day we will all understand the things that Colby knows and lives for. Until that day we all must follow his example and be strong, live by faith, love deeply, forgive, and trust the Lord in everything we are faced with. We never take a step alone. Colby, thank you for choosing to be such a huge part of our lives. Thank you for trusting your family enough to share your journey. I love you Colby!
