The good

There is good in our lives! That is important to share with all my friends and family to!

On top of the good list is that Adam and I have NEVER been closer to each other. We have got past every single issue that has plauged our marriage, and there is nothing, not a thing in the world that we are not in sync with each other on! I have never had anyone tell me I am beautiful many times every day, for years straight, it is so nice! I never imagined it could happen, but we are more in love than we were when we got married!

Also on the good list is my fabulous little Zander boy. He is almost fully potty trained now. He wears pull ups at night, and if I think he might fall asleep while we are out, but otherwise he is accident free! His whiney-ness has mostly gone away, and he is just a fun, sweet little guy. He loves nothing more than snuggling with me or daddy, or both if possible. He adores Aidan, but mostly he is just a very very nice boy. He is extremely obedient, he may be the only 2 year old I have ever seen that will come to an immediate stop while running if we tell him "stop" He knows what is allowed and what is not, and yes he does push buttons and break rules, but if he is told not to do something, he will stop. He never hits or hurts anyone on purpose, and if he does hurt anyone he will say "I'm sorry, it was just an accident" and usually kiss it better for you. He has become daddy's little buddy, and the bond they have truely warms my heart on a daily basis. He is a dream come true, and really is the perfect compliment to Adam and I.

We had the best date night in the world last week. My in laws watched Zander while Adam and I went to a movie, then we met up with our best friend Tina and went to my favorite place in the world for dinner, the Outback. We had some great food, and good company. The 3 of us then went on to see my favorite singer of all time, Stephen Ashbrook. I used to go see him live every week, he played at a small club in Tempe every week before he got a record deal and moved on. He comes back to Tempe every few months, but this was the first time since Aidan was born (so 9 years) that I have seen him live. The last time I saw him I was about 8 months pregnant with Aidan and was really into the show. Somehow I managed to get pushed right to the front of the stage area, and he grabbed my hand and had me dance on the stage with him. I was horrified at the time, but it is now a great memory!

My medical problems are still around, still a problem, but there is a team of doctors working on them for me. I have a GI doctor working on my intestines, the spot on my liver, and my spleen. I am getting an MRI of the liver to see if they can tell what the spot is. If it is a hemangioma then they will just watch it because a biopsy is too dangerous on those, if it is anything else it will be biopsied to determine what it is (and hopefully that it is not cancer) I am having a colonoscopy in early May to get a good look at all the problems we are facing with my intestines, and to remove the infected polyp that has been causing problems. I got the MRI on my back and neck from the car accident and although I don't have the results yet I did get a call the my Dr. referred me to a pain specialist next week, so we will see what comes of that. I also have to see a urologist. It turns out the Urinary infections I have gotten so easily for the past 2 years are not that at all, and instead something wrong with the unirary system. For now I am on a medication that makes me pee florescent orange, which would be a fantastic pratcial joke to play on someone... I just haven't picked my victim yet, but If I give you anything to eat, make sure there is no pills stuffed in there! Ha!

Adam feels like his foot is healing, and will have an xray next week to be sure of that, so that is good news. He CANNOT wait to get back on his feet!!

Love to all, and sorry for the past few depressing posts :)
