Here are some pictures of me and Madeline playing in the pool. Madeline likes her rubber duckies!

Madeline Turned One!

T.J. — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 05:14:42 +0000

About two months ago, little miss Madeline turned a whole one year old! It’s been a pretty crazy year but through it all Madeline has been wonderful and Tesha and I are very thankful to have such a sweet little girl.

We had her birthday party and invited over some of her friends. She seemed to enjoy her time in the spotlight and playing with her buddies. She was a little unsure of the cupcake at first but after a little coaxing she got it figured out.

Enjoy the photos of her party.

Usery Mountain Park

T.J. — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:10:49 +0000

We recently went back to Usery Mountain Park, but this time Mom, Dad, Rhonda, Jordan, and Mason came too. Tesha, unfortunately, couldn’t join us since she was working. It was a little chilly (by Phoenix standards anyway) so we had to bundle up.

Halloween

T.J. — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:02:36 +0000

As you can see, I’m a couple of holiday’s behind, but what can you do? Life get’s busy.

For Halloween, Madeline was originally supposed to be a Chili Pepper and she looked cute as can be in her costume. Problem was, it was a little tight, especially down by her feet. After a little while, she let us know she’d had enough of the Chili Pepper.

So, we had to go to the backup plan. Our friends, Mike and Alison, had given Madeline a little froggy robe and slippers so we put that on Madeline and she seemed to like that better.

Bronchoscopy Tomorrow

Tesha — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 02:21:12 +0000

The doctors decided that it would be best to do a bronchoscopy to see what the mass on Madeline’s lung is before taking action. We have an appt early tomorrow morning to get this done on an outpatient basis at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. They will be inserting a camera in both of her lungs to get a better look, will conduct a saline rinse to check for aspiration and any bacteria growth, and will be taking a tissue sample from the mass. The doctor will be meeting with us to show the images of the scope and discuss his preliminary findings. It will take a few weeks to get the results of the biospy and to have a final determination about what is going on. Today, the nurse told me that this procedure is pretty rountine with limited risks. T.J. and I are dreading having to put Madeline through more tests, but it is important to know what is going on so we can get it properly addressed.
