The Marek Times

The Children’s Heart Society published their Spring 2009 newsletter and Marek’s picture is in there, on page 3.   You can see it here (just click on the March 2009 link):

As promised, a couple of pictures of Ben at Easter:

And this is what we did today.   It was a perfect day for a bike ride.   This is Ben’s new bike and his first ride.   He’s getting the hang of it.   We rode all the way to the Mac’s for a Slurpee.   I’m so glad that Spring is finally here!

Easter was wonderful.   I’ll try to post some pictures.   The weather was great – so great, that I even managed to get a bit of a sunburn on Sunday.   I don’t know how that happened.

We did hear back from Genetics last week, and my organs are all where they’re supposed to be.    It’s not a big surprise, but it’s reassuring.   They do want to see Ben now though, so he has an appointment for June.

We were going through pictures over the weekend and found a family picture of us.  These are incredibly rare.  We have lots of pictures of the boys but really only a couple of all four of us.   Marek was only a couple of months old in this one, but he doesn’t have any tubes or anything.   Aren’t we cute?

I’m having a totally crazy week at work.   Good thing it’s a short week.   I can’t wait for the weekend.   I get the full four days off and I’m sooooo looking forward to it.   Plus the weather is finally getting better.   Maybe the snow will disappear soon!

 Ben is feeling much, much better now.  The antibiotics did the trick.   He was back at school yesterday, good as new.

 Still no word from Genetics – which means that there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary on our x-rays.   But I did phone them again yesterday to confirm that.   They haven’t called back yet.    I also want to know if they want to have a look at Ben too.   It would be nice to talk to Dr. B.   I don’t know if he has any answers, but I have a lot of questions that are taking up precious space in my brain and I’d like to get them out.
