Busy month!!!



I can't believe that it's been over a month since I last wrote. These last weeks have gone so fast, I would believe they happen if I didn't have some photos to prove it did.

Jake is growing so fast. He's almost crawling, but only going backwards right now. Talks all the time, and found a new habit at Grandma "T's" house how to blow raspberries while eating. He's loving his new jolley jumper from Grandma Hilman, get's so excite jumping!

He had his Spina Bifida Clinic the end of January. Everything went mostly good. The only thing is he has to have a small surgery in March (the 14th) by the urologist. And the other development is a small amount of urine reflux into the kidney's. This isn't a problem unless the child is having urine infections that move bacteria up into the kidneys. Jake's been infection free, quite an amazing thing considering we are catherizating daily to make sure there isn't any urine sitting in the bladder. Prayer for this last thing would be helpful, kidney failure is the greatest long term complication for spina bifida. We have such a great team of physicians in Edmonton!

We took two weeks and went to Hawaii with Jake and my family. It was fun even though the weather wasn't that great. My parents took him home the second week and Kev and I were able to spend some quality time together. Very nice.

Fort Mac is continually on the go, the guys have moved into the new shop and it really helped to organize everyone. Lots of work on the horizon, hard to imagine it ending.....

I'd love to hear from everyone,

God Bless!

Hi there, "the Hilman's" Have been reading your little story and please know that I have been praying for you three so often. Just wanted to let you know that we are now in Winfield - 250-766-7226 - and if you are ever close, please feel free to give us a call. Would love to hear from you. I thinks it is great that you have purchased your old house back. We went that way the other day, but forgot which road turns up by the house. Anyway, take care and God bless. Love Ev
