No News is Good News

Last week Dr. Guidroz and I played phone tag Thursday and Friday regarding Averi's bloodwork. I talked with her Monday morning and she explained to me that Averi's kidney function in good. The way that it works is anything over 60 is good and anything over 85 is excellent. Averi's stats are 72, which means in my eyes that is GREAT! Basically her UTI's were always caught in a timely manner. I am so proud of our little trooper.


Averi's friend Ireland, had surgery last Thursday and is on the road to a great recovery. I talked with Tracy yesterday and she stated that she gets fussy at times or moves that wrong way and gets upset, but God has totally given little Ireland the power and strenght to pull thru. All your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated! Please continue praying for a speedy and successful recovery!


The bed situation is going great. Averi slept until 8:30 both Saturday and Sunday morning, Monday morning it was like she knows that she has to go to school she was up at 7:30 ready to go.


Yesterday I went to SAM'S to get some baby food and this is what my little trooper did with the boxes:


All the way to the bathroom with it.........

Nonnie bought some pumkins to go in her front yard and Averi loves them....

LSU Tailgating Saturday:

Cousin Blaire

Averi received this walker/playstation when she was in the hospital from her Poppie and Nonnie, Brad broke it down to a walker for her, well the other day she decided that she wanted to play in it and this is what I found:

First Time For Everything...

Well tonight is the first night that Averi is sleeping in her room. I know its terrible. I just could not let go. Brad and I have been talking about making the move and I have been pushing it and pushing it. I am having a very hard time with putting her on the other side of the house. She has been sleeping at the foot of our bed for almost 10 months now in a pack-in-play and doing just wonderful with that. I know that it is time, but its such a huge move for me. Anyway we will see how tonight goes.

We went for blood work on Tuesday and waiting for the results. I will post as soon as I know something.

Please pray for Ireland, she is a friend of Averi's. God has truly blessed her and her family to come into our lives. Tomorrow she will have surgery on her kidney. Averi and Ireland are about a week part and have very similar conditions with there kidneys. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayer over the next couple of days. Brad and I know the pressure that they are under right now. Keep your chin up Tracy and know that God is in totally control.

Just Could Not Do It......

Well we made it to the to Dr. Guidroz's office Friday afternoon and after Averi had to get catheterized and the urine running down mommy's leg and receiving the flu shot, I was about ready to scream. Now for those of you who have forgotten, I also am watching two other children ages 7 months and 4 years old. So you can only imagine what it was like with your own screaming child, 7 month old-Preston screaming because Averi was screaming, and 4 year old-Harper very upset because Averi had to get the flu shot and Mommy looking like she had just used the bathroom on herself. Oh and I forgot, I did not bring Averi's extra change of clothes in the doctors office with me because who would have thought that I would have needed them, well I was not thinking.....had to bring Averi out to the car in a diaper....weather being cooler on Friday plus a little shower here or there.......could only imagine what people were thinking....


So Averi and I are going to pick Nonnie up ( poor Nonnie she has to do all the bad stuff) tomorrow and headed for Women's Hospital for bloodwork. Dr. Guidroz stated that they are going to have to get blood for the middle of her arm....not going to be fun.

Thanks Nonnie for the Pumkin!!!!

Averi's Halloween Dress..... Sweet Little Ms. Jane made it for me....

Busy...Busy...Busy

Averi went for her 9 1/2 month check up on Monday.

She weighs 16 pounds and .5 ounces which is in the 10%.
She is 26 3/4 inches tall which is in the 25%.

Doctor stated that she is fine, just little. We are going to have to go for some blood work, because Dr. Guidroz stated that Dr. Ortenburg fixed the blockage and she needs to get a blood count of the function of the kidney. We are going to have blood work done Friday along with a flu shot. What an afternoon.

Nonnie, Averi and I were in Matt and Ashley's Wedding this past weekend. I held Averi as she waved to everyone. She was so cute. I will post pictures as soon as I get them.

Things have been very busy around here for the last two weeks, I hope that they will slow down. I am not a late person at night, however I have been going to bed later than usually to get what has to be done, done. That is probably why I am so tired right now.

Averi is something else, she is growing so fast. Whenever I drop her off at school she doesn't look back, she goes to laughing and giggling. She loves it!!!! I had to sub yesterday, and honestly it is getting harder for me to leave her now then it has ever been, at my break I stopped by to say, "Hello" and she was waving to me and smiling from ear to ear. I turned around to leave and she did not say a word. She truly loves Mrs. Rebecca and Mrs. Missy. They are GREAT! I just can not believe that MY LITTLE TROOPER is 91/2 months.

Picture soon to come!
