Rise tuition letter

Jason and I just got home from date night! On the way in we grabbed the mail and there it was, the letter. The official letter from Rise that would tell us how much our monthly tuition is. I was so nervous opening that piece of paper.  Good thing our friends Jon and Carly prepped me on what they pay. It made the sticker shock a little less shocking. But God is good, as always. He has  provided me with a part-part time job that allows me to work around the kids. It's a friend of mine. She's an amazing real estate agent and I'm doing some work for her. So the plan will be to bump up my hours to part time in the fall. And the money I make there will pay for most of Connors school. So if you are looking to buy or sell your home I get a referral fee (since I'm licensed). And Joanie's pretty awesome. In 2013, she sold a house every 4 days. She's definitely a go getter. 

Regarding Hunter at Rise, they currently don't have a spot for him. Which is okay because his portion alone would be $886. Yikes. So he will be attending Sugar Creek Baptist on Tuesday and Thursday in the fall. 

Thanks for your continued support and prayers. 

Cardiologist update

Yesterday was Connors first time to see the cardiologist since he was a few weeks old. I thought the appt was a success. Although Connor has 2 holes in his upper chamber we are only concerned with one of them.  But because Connor isn't showing any signs such has shortness of breath, turning blue, sweating while eating, we will continue to monitor every 6 months. And in a year we will do another echo. Our prayer is that Connor will never have to have surgery or be on any restrictions!!!

Two cute stories about our visit. As Dr Kailin was listening to Connors heart he reached out and held Dr. Kaitlin's finger. So sweet. The next part was not so funny. Long story short we had Connors diaper pulled back and sure enough Connor started to pee. But being the great mom that I am, I saved the spray with my hand.  That table was soaked. 

Today's our first fundraising event for Rise. I can't wait to post pictures. 

First Neurology appt

We were able to squeeze Connor in to be see for the flatness on the back of the head. They took a picture and some measurements. Long story short The Dr. Recommended a helmet. Boo. He would wear it 23 hours a day for 3-5 months. I did ask the Dr. If this effects brain development or is it just cosmetic? And it's just comestic. So here's the kicker. Since it's just cosmetic there is a chance that insurance won't cover it. Which means our portion could be anywhere from $1,800-$2,200. It takes 2-3 weeks to hear back from insurance on whether it's covered. It all depends on whether Bank of America checked a little box to cover cosmetic. Honestly, I really don't know how I feel about paying that. I need to do some research. Are there parents out there that turned down the helmet and their child's head turned out just fine? Or any regrets? 

Here's how you can pray. Pray that our insurance covers it. In the event that it doesn't pray that God would speak to both of us on whether we should pay it or not. 

One of our highlights of today was that Connor got to meet one of our old friends, Kristi Wilson Lewis. She works for Texas Children's and took a little break and joined us for our appointment. I loved having her there. Unfortunately I didn't think to snap a pic. But she got some good ones.
