81!

81,000! Need I say more?

I got to talk to the doctor today, briefly (it's a long story why only for a short time). He was very excited and thought Trenton looked great. He said he wants to continue checking counts, and just waiting. He doesn't want to do anything unless Trenton dips below 10,000 which hasn't happened in a while. So we will wait about 6 weeks and check him again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for over 100,000!

I was very happy when we were leaving the hospital, but I was quickly reminded how fragile life is. Trenton and I were walking behind this couple on our way to the car. I have to admit I was getting a little annoyed by how slow they were going. As Trenton and I passed them, I noticed her giant pregnant belly. Oh fine, I guess she's allowed to walk (waddle) slow. When they got to their car, the man grabbed her and gave her the biggest hug. They stood there for a while, the woman just melted into the hug. I can't imagine what news they might have just heard about their little unborn baby, but it must have sucked. I almost started crying for them, and have been thinking about them ever since. I can only hope and pray they be comforted and God will take care of their little one like he has mine.

Prayers

Trenton has an appointment this afternoon to get a blood test. He's been looking pretty good, so please pray hard that his numbers are outstanding!

I'll post the results as soon as I can.

No news

I have no news! Just thought I would say that. It's been about 5 weeks since we've gotten Trenton's blood count. I can tell when it's time to get him checked again because everyone I know is asking how his counts are. Which is amazing on it's own! I still continually get people telling me they are thinking about Trenton and praying for him. How cool is that??

I did just e-mail the doctor to see what he's thinking. I feel like I'm being a pest, but I'm afraid they've kind of forgotten about him. Again, I know he's not deathly ill, but he's the cutest, sweetest little guy in the world, so you'd think they should all care about him as much as I do, right?!

I'll keep you all posted!

And I shouldn't say we have NO news, we do have a new nephew! Isaac deRidder was born yesterday. He's super cute (duh) and he and Chris are doing very well. Trenton thought he was pretty cool, and just kept staring at him. He just loves all his cousins, which is so fun.

Also, we recently took a quick trip to Telluride. Here's just two of my favorite pictures:
