Sandbox and Sunshine

We have been wanting to put in a sandbox for a while, but were kinda waiting till we had grass too, but honestly who knows when that is going to happen. The other day was Casey's day off and I went to run errands by myself, when I came home this is what I found.

Casey got out his old Skidster, that I love so much(NOT!), and put in a sandbox. Teegs of course is right in the action trying to help all that he could.

Here is the final product. It needs more sand in it, but it'll do for now. I am hoping that it'll keep him out of the dirt and mud, at least for a little while.

Just enjoying the sunshine. This boy has to be outside any chance he gets. We eat lunch outside almost everyday if its not raining. A turkey sandwich; can't be grilled cheese, nacho cheese doritos, grapes(that he never eats, it just makes me feel like I am trying to feed him healthy food) and apple juice. I kinda think sometimes he is a little OCD.

Life Lately

The update with Teegs, he has been feeling so good lately! The meds are definitely working. They haven't made him sick at all, which is a definite side effect. He hasn't complained of pain since he's been on them. He definitely has more energy these days and seems much happier. Still Loves his dog Mogli.

Also loves playing in the dirt with his little buddy Connor Mack. These two are gonna be trouble some day, but for now little sweet hearts.

Just eatn' some lunch

Yes aren't those beautiful toes, not really. But last night I was invited to a girls night at Danielles'. We had such a good time, ate nachos and banana splits. Did pedicures, and even had a masseuse(can't spell) come over and give us each a 30min massage. Now that's a girls night out, go big or go home!! It was a much needed night, thanks girls!!!!!!!

Update on Teegin

After months of xrays, blood tests and dr. appts, they have diagnosed my little Teegin with what is called JRA, or juvenile rumetoid arthritis. I guess it wasnt a big suprise to me, after reading online about it I knew thats what he had, but was hoping he didnt. At this point we dont know exactly what is going to happen with it. His is a more severe case, he has it in both ankles, both knees, his left wrist and a few fingers. They immedetiatly put him on a bunch of medicince. 4 different ones, one being a shot once a week, that Casey or I have to give him. I make Casey do it, because it kills me to do that to him. His has been on the meds now for 4 days, and I have noticed a change in him for sure. He is much happier, more active, and sleeps a lot better for me. We are actually going back down to the Stanford hospital today for an appt in the morning. They will be putting him out and injecting steroids into both knees and both ankles. This should help a lot. It just breaks my heart that he has been in so much pain for so long. He is definitly a stronger person than I am. Its sad for a child this young because they dont know any difference. i just hope that they can get it under control so he can be a normal little kid being able to run, climb and jump with no pain.
