Devastating news

The chemo has not done the job that it was supposed to do. The cancer has grown and spread into her breast bone. She is being referred to the University of Louisville in hopes of getting her into a clinical trial.

Sentence

10 years. 10 years will hang over his head as he once again has been accepted into drug court. He will do 6 months first. His time starts Monday.

Sentencing coming soon

Aaron had been offered a plea agreement of 33 years. He turned it down. Friday he was interviewed for drug court. Friday afternoon my husband was contacted by the drug court rep. He was asked to confirm that Aaron is an addict and if he felt Aaron could complete drug court. Of course his answers were in Aarons favor. I wish she had called me instead. If Aaron is accepted into drug court he could be out in as little as 3 months. He has been in jail for 3 months now. I for one feel he should be in jail longer than 6 months. I know everybody says jail is not the place for an addict that rehab is what they need. I agree with that also but I also feel Aaron should serve some time for the crimes he committed. I don't feel 6 moths is enough time. I feel he should do a minimum of 2 years. My thinking process right now tells me that 6 months is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. It's only 6 months of clean time before putting him back on the streets. I think, for Aaron anyway, he would benefit more by having  more punishment and more clean time before doing the drug court program. He has already been in drug court once.  He did 6 months. Was put back on the streets. Used immediately. He was kicked out. I might sound extremely selfish right now but the peace that comes with him being in jail, I'm not ready to lose that peace yet.


Tasha update
She only has 2 more chemo treatments left. Once that is complete another PET scan will be done. If the cancer that came back after surgery is still seen on the scan she will have surgery again followed by radiation. If they don't show up then she will go on to radiation. Of course that is subject to change as we move forward. Otherwise she's doing great!

Wyatt update

He's 5 1/2 months now and over 14 lbs. Smiling and cooing! Growing like a weed. His last Dr. appointment he actually made it onto the percentile chart for size. I can't get enough of this little boy!!!

Blah blah, repeat, Blah blah and then the good stuff

Aaron

Six felonies so far. Two possession of a firearm by a convicted felon charges, one burglary 2nd, one burglary 3rd, one receiving stolen property (firearm) and one theft by unlawful taking over $500. Possession of a firearm carries a ten year sentence, burglary carries five.

I went to visit him yesterday for the first time. It's always the hardest. I waited to visit so he would have finished going thru withdrawal and to give him an idea of what it's gong to be like in jail without your family visiting every week like we did last time. He is not mad that I called the sheriff and called it a blessing. Although calling and reporting him breaking into our house, along with the proof in text messages, was one of the hardest days in my life, I feel no guilt or remorse for making the call. I wish I had done it long ago. He will be indicted next month. I have not went to any of his court proceedings. I will admit I have wanted to. 

Tasha

Chemo had to be stopped because it was killing the cancer but taking her skin with it. She had a double mastectomy in July. In the few weeks between stopping chemo and having the surgery the cancer almost doubled in size. They did however get all of the cancer!!! They removed 21 lymph nodes on her left side. Cancer was found in 6 of the 21. Chemo restarts this week. It will take 12 weeks to finish the chemo and then she will have 5 weeks of radiation five times a week. At that point the hope is to be deemed cancer free. Her oncologist balked at calling her cancer free after the surgery because although the PET scan showed no cancer anywhere else in her body she couldn't say there wasn't any microscopic cancer floating around in her. The chemo and radiation is  meant to take of that if there is.

Wyatt

He's growing like a weed!!! He is now 3 1/2 months old. I'm sure he is well over 9 pounds now. His last weigh in he was 8.7. That was two weeks ago. He's putting the weight on quickly going from 6.11 to 8.1 in the two weeks previous. There were only 2 days between the 8.1 and the 8.7. He's making up for lost time lol! Truth be told.... I can't get enough of this little boy! I can't stop kissing on him when I hold him. The "real" smiles are starting to happen more often. He is an extremely good baby, pretty laid back. 

And the best for last!!!!

Tasha and Wyatt now live across the street from me!!

Full circle

Aaron was arrested last night. Burglary 2nd degree and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The hardest day in my life so far is the day I called 911 to report a break in at my house with proof that Aaron did it. The grieving process has started all over again. Because life hasn't been hard enough lately.

Nana's boy

He may be growing a little slower than a weed but growing he is. Two days shy of being 3 weeks old and he has passed up his birth weight. Now weighing in at 2 lbs 5.6 oz!! He is no longer receiving any breathing assistance and they are only monitoring his heart and oxygen. Everything is going wonderfully with him!

 May 23, 2015. 1 week old, first time momma got to hold him

June 4, 2015. Smiling for Nana! 

I'm still waiting patiently for my turn to hold him.

A fighter

My grandson Wyatt has made his appearance early. Born at 28 weeks, 2lbs 3oz and 14 inches long. Mommy and baby are both doing amazing!
