Arms up in air!

  • Mood:
  • Pray for: Jaxon, Tyler, George and Mike

Late last night I got onto Mike's girlfriends myspace and read a comment from a friend of hers congratulating her on Mike moving in.  She also had made a comment about what Mike's parents can do with theirselves now which had all kinds of cuss words in it.  Stupidity at its finest!!  We have not talked to Mike's mom yet today to confirm if this has truly happened or not, but my husband and I assume it probably has.  And if it has, Mike is on his own.  This boy has had a heart problem, asthma, and a complete tear in his PCL in which his parents made sure he had the finest medical care to treat these problems. They also had braces put on his teeth and had him see a top of the line dermetologist for some acne problems.  He has also been provided with his needs and wants throughout his childhood and if it means more to him to be able to participate in underaged drinking, coming and going as he pleases and sleeping with a 16 year old that has a disease then I guess he is going to have to learn the hard way.  Sooner or later the law or his life is going to catch up with him.  And these idiotic people who allowed him to move in must have issues of their own.  What kind of people would allow a child to move in with them without talking to the child's parents?  Of course they must have a sign in their yard that reads "Freeloaders R Us" because do they not only have Mike's girlfriend living there, but we have recently learned their daughter (Mike's girlfriend's mother) just moved in last week because she and her second or third husband broke up, and now they have Mike.  There may even be more people there for all we know.  It is certainly a different type of household than Mike is used to living in.  It sounds like a Jerry Springer show in the making.  What is sad is Mike prefers that over his family who only wants to make sure what he is doing is legal and is done with morals and values.  I guess at this point trash is more attractive to him than having some pride and dignity and making something of himself.  Mike made it clear that he wants to do what he pleases so along with that he has to handle all that comes along with it.  The one thing he has complained about his girlfriend is how controlling of him she is.  Well buddy now that you are under her roof...that game has just went into overtime.    

Now for an update on Jaxon. Jaxon has taken some steps backwards.  He has had several bleeds in different parts of his body.  He has had to go back onto the the oscilating ventilator; however, they are going to try to start weaning him off by lowering the settings today.  They did do a brain scan and found that there was no concern that the brain had been effected which is good.  They are still pulling off fluid from his body.  You can tell the toll it is all taking on Jaxon's momma.  Her posts have been pretty short lately whereas they are normally long and full of life.  She comments how it has been over a month since she has got to hold her son or hear his voice.  You know that has to be incredibly hard.  Then they also have a daughter at home which is about an hour car ride away so she is not able to see her too much.  If all had went well with the first transplant they would probably be heading home here shortly.  Jaxon has yet to even leave the PICU.  He will have to be transferred to a normal inpatient floor for about a week and then have to stay on the Ronald McDonald floor for a month before getting to go back home.  They still have a long journey ahead of them at the hospital which is somewhat defeating to them at this point.  But they are people of faith and know that Jaxon's healing is all in God's timing, not their own.  So they keep fighting right along side Jaxon.

Last night we watched the KU basketball game. I know this may sound hypocritical of me but I have really been in to KU basketball this year.  The guys are incredible to watch.  They do some stuff on there and you have to remind yourself....these guys are only in college!  It will be amazing to see what they will do if they go on to play professional basketball.  Anyway, last night was senior night in which the seniors played their final regular season game at home, before the championship games begin.  Some of favorite players are seniors and it is sad to see them go.  They played an amazing game last night and beat Texas Tech by over 50 points! 

As you can assume it has been pretty stressful in our house as of late.  We do not talk about the stuff going on with Mike around the kids because we don't want them to be stressed out about it nor do we want to ruin their image of Mike.  They adore him.  (As we do too..just not the choices he is making!!)  I wanted to do something to make my husband laugh....so after we got Hylari into bed I said to him "Watch this!" and I attempted to do my best moon walking; however it was totally terrible. My husband said, "Yeah, well watch this!"  He attempts to do the moon walk in a square.  We were both falling on the floor laughing.  It was a nice laugh and very much needed.

Have a great day!
