Colman’s heart cath has been scheduled for tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. The cath lab at Texas Children’s Hospital called on Thursday of last week to schedule Colman. The woman who called me introduced herself as the cath lab nurse coordinator and said something like, “Hi, we need to get Colman scheduled for his heart cath. … Continue reading

Haircuts and “Aircuts”
This past Tuesday when Liam and Colman were on Spring Break, we asked them to pick up Rowan’s room to help us out because there were toys everywhere. It was the kind of mess where I just looked and thought, how does one little person do this and where do I even start? I told Liam and Colman … Continue reading
Barking Up The Wrong Tree
I had a crazy weekend this past weekend. Please don’t misunderstand me. Not “crazy” as in it was so fun and wild, but “crazy” as in at one point I thought about selling my kids on a street corner. I blame it on the potty-training. Really, why are we in such a rush to potty-train … Continue reading

We are still waiting for the call from the cath lab at Texas Children’s Hospital to schedule Colman’s next heart cath. I am hoping I will hear from them by the end of the week, so we can get that on our schedule in the next four to six weeks. On a fun note, we … Continue reading

I feel like this is a wonderful thing for San Antonio … Continue reading
Words to live by

A Lot of Discussion About Nothing
Yesterday we went to Colman’s appointment at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, which required lots and lots of driving and planning. Kevin is in Lockhart trying a case, and it was up to me to make sure all the kids were sorted out on Monday, so Colman and I could go to TCH. Liam stayed … Continue reading
Rockstar!
Last week, I received a call that Colman’s cardiothoracic surgeon gave his name to someone with theferrarikid.org. I wasn’t really sure what that was, but Manny called that same night and said the purpose of their organization was to take kids who are sick and make them feel special and give them a memory that … Continue reading
Happy Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Day!
I know it’s Valentine’s Day for most people, but we celebrate Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Day at our house as well.
