A little clarity and a deep breath

First of all, THANK YOU. Jason and I are absolutely humbled and grateful to our friends and family for your concern, support and prayers. Even if we haven't answered a call, text or message, know we are reading everything and deeply, deeply appreciative.

This past weekend we had a little weekend trip planned to Gruene, TX. If you are not familiar with the Texas Hill Country, it's like walking onto the set of the  movie "Hope Floats".....right down to the  dance hall, ice cold beer and white little lights strung throughout the trees. We debated whether or not we should go considering the uncertainty with Nick, but decided we needed to take some time to ourselves and regroup. I think it was the right call. We did absolutely nothing productive besides eat, drink and talk about the whole situation on our own terms and without worrying about little ears picking up any of the conversation. It's amazing what taking a deep breath and getting some clarity and perspective can do for a person. Oh, and some sleep. An incredibly HUGE thank you to Toni and Wes for watching Nick.

At this point, what we KNOW is that Nick is an active, healthy boy who is simply being evaluated for some possible neurological and/or muscular/skeletal issues. However, it is absolutely possible, he will be found to be clear of any tumors or not require any cranialfacial surgeries. In fact, I'm choosing to operate from this perspective and choose to believe the waiting will be worse than any news we may receive.

Jason and I are calm and optimistic that this will be a scare we won't forget, but nothing more. Feel free to share in our optimism:)
