Rawley life is as crazy, hectic, hair-on-fire, hot mess express normal as usual.
In a nutshell:
Ethan had two admissions so far this year-doing awesome now. Asthma under control. Endocrine has decided his little testes have not dropped enough and stayed down-so off to urology surgeon Dr Murphy in October for probable surgery.
Parker finished his sophomore year (barely) just turned 16 and just got his driver's permit. He has decided not to play football this year, but focus on his grades and choir and is working towards raising money for a choir trip to Austria next spring. Starts his Junior year in about a month.
Hailey graduated from Staley with the Gold Medallion degree-the highest honor in the NKCH District. She is off to University of Arkansas in 30 days to major in Biology with plans to attend Medical School and become a Pediatrician that works with special needs kiddos like the bald kid. She is also enrolling in the Air Force ROTC program through UofA.
Brian is still working days with the KCPD at the Shoal Creek Division Station and it is his 21st year with the department. He is also working with another company doing fraud investigations and claims cases-which is setting him up for his retirement job.
I am working full time again at NKCH and love being back with all my awesome co-workers! I am 3 years cancer free and counting.
We took a fabulous family vacation in June to Florida. Spent a week on Universal property and had an absolute blast at the parks! I rode more rides than I did the last time we went because I figured it was 'now or never' and I'm living and looking forward with no regrets and no missed experiences. Even if that experience was only Dr Doom's Fear Fall!
And I loved it!!
Parker even took on some rides he wouldn't do last trip!
Spent a few days in the Tampa/Clearwater area-gorgeous beach BTW and had the best seafood ever at Frenchy's!
Most of all it was a whole lot of family time spent laughing, and fighting and just being crazy weird together before Hailey is off to college.
Awesome memories were made!
Perfect timing because the Surgeon just came out and said Hailey Jayne did fantastic-tonsils were huge and full of holes and puss pockets and it was a good call getting them out before school.
Now to get my loopy girl home and settled before I head to the cancer center for a shot.
I promise, pinky swear, swear on my children's lives I will update this blog more often.
As a matter of fact, I will be updating again later today or tomorrow, so stay tuned!
