Bath time
Luckily, there is not much to update.  Jackson is still very tired and I am still very nervous about the upcoming MRI.  Fortunately, even during Jackson's exhaustion we have been able to enjoy some good times.  The most exciting thing that has happened in the last week is that Jackson finally took a bath... yes, friends it has been six months since he has had a true bath.  Because of his "tubies" he was never allowed to be immersed in water, but more importantly because of the "tubies" he was very self concious of his chest and fought like a mad man to simply change his shirt.  Taking it off for the bath was impossible.  He seems to be realizing that the "tubies" are gone and after much coaxing we actually got him into the tub and he actually enjoyed it!  This next week we are trying to keep busy, have some fun and take some naps as Jackson continues to recover from the radiation and we try to keep our minds off the upcoming MRI.  Please keep Jackson in your prayers for his MRI on January 27.  As always, thanks for checking in on us, it truly helps us get through these very uncertain times knowing we have so many people on our team, praying for Jackson's recovery.

It is so nice to see lights on in your house again.  Kaylin and I would love to go to the park someday when Jackson has more energy.  Jackson and all of you are in our daily prayers.

What a wonderful picture!  I just love it so much because 5 minutes ago my mom just took pictures of our two little guys taking a bath together just like that.  I’m so incredibly happy to see Jack enjoying some of the little moments that make being three so much fun, and Wyatt right there beside him joining in the brotherly fun!!

We’re counting down the days to that MRI right along with you, and are praying with all our might for the good news to come quickly so we can start celebrating. 

We love you so much!
