The End of Summer....

I can't believe this is the last week of our summer ...
for the most part it has been a really great couple of months. The weather here in Seattle has been absolutely gorgeous and warm, Hudson has managed to stay out of the hospital since May, I was able to jet set to CA kid- free, we did a family trip out of the country (Canada), we have enjoyed friends and family, bbq's, swimming, birthdays....the list goes on and on!
I am not ready to send my kids back to school, and all that it entails...early mornings, homework, schedules, therapists....I need another month or two of summer!

Hudson is still struggling as usual, with seizures and respiratory issues. I believe the vest has saved us from several trips to the hospital. I shake him 2-3 times a day. I think it keeps things loose and prevents him getting clogged up and into respiratory distress and failure. I guess the true test will be this fall/winter when the cold season is at its worst. I do think he has caught a few colds over the summer but has pulled through without hospitalization because of this vest. So I am really grateful we have it and serving its purpose.

This Thursday, I take Hudson first thing in the morning to Children's for a CT scan of his chest and sinuses. Thankfully, we do not have to use any anesthesia, but he needs to be sleepy and still. I will admit, I am a little nervous for what those results will show. He struggles so much in this part of his body, but answers and a new treatment to help this struggle would be the best case scenario. Remembering to lift Hudson in prayer on Thursday would mean so much.
