F.R.O.G. = Fully Rely On God
I have to admit I am pretty proud of myself.... I figured out how to add music to our blog. Riley is pretty excited. The only thing so far that I miss are the "guestbook" entries like we used to get on caringbridge. I think we are thinking about updating the caringbridge site like usual and then use this blog for fun stuff, pictures and movies. What do you think?????

F.R.O.G. = Fully Rely On God

Today started out better. Riley seemed to be perkier but he has been lashing out at his brother and sister. It is so hard because he gets so angry and says hateful things. He is very worried about going anywhere. He asked me when he goes back to the babysitter. I told him it wasnt until next week. He wanted to know if his hair would be grown back in. I reassured him he would need to wear a cranial-cap and how cool he would look. He is sitting in a time-out right now. It is so hard to punish him but I can't have his brother and sister or him for that matter think that it is okay to act that way. I hope it is just his fluid in his brain adjusting to the new shunt.

This blog is pretty cool. Still trying to figure out all the details. Some of the things you need you have to have a custom design for---which I'm not going to get that fancy.

Hopefully things settle down - - we were going to try and go to the downtown festival for little bit tonight to get out of the house but if the weather doesnt cooperate and he doesnt feel better - we will be staying home.

This is Mr. Cooper. He is our middle child. Full of life. He loves football and anything that Riley might be into. He is very strong willed but has a kind heart too.

This is Miss Zoe - she is our littlest. We finally got our girl....She is all girl but can hold her own with the boys. She loves her "whip whops" aka flip-flops.

STARTING A NEW PAGE

We are starting a new page. Thought it might be fun. We can add video, and as many photos as we want. This is a little more complex to do but hopefully it will be more enjoyable to read. Riley is doing better, finally. He spiked a fever 100.8 earlier today. He really wasnt drinking anything and had not ate anything. He finally got some sprite mixed with gatorade down and we gave him a Tylenol. He just ate some cheese pizza --yeah!! He is perking up a little. His incision looks good. It is so hard to see him so sick and sad. I went to the grocery and got several different kinds of popscicles and stuff to make oreo milkshakes. He wasn't too interested in it :( but Cooper and Zoe thought it was cool. Daddy too....
