Brady turned 1 year on July 16, 2008! We celebrated his birthday with a party on the 19th among family and friends! Brady ate his first hotdog, which he absolutely loved!!! As you can see from the 3rd picture that he got lots of toys that he has very much enjoyed playing with!! He aklso got lots of clothes!! He had his very own cake to dig into, but once he got icing on his hands, he had had enough! Brady is the type of child that doesn't like to have his hands dirty! Boy, are we gonna have to get him out of that! Boys are supposed to be dirty!!! Anyway, I just thought I'd share a few pictures with you! Hope you enjoy! Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate!

I went for my follow-up appointment yesterday after my wrist surgery. I was released to go back to work with the restriction that I cannot life anything heavier than 10 pounds for 3 weeks. I went to day to see the employee health nurse at work who said it would be okay with her if I came back with this restriction, but she had to discuss it with my boss. Well, my boss called me this afternoon to let me know that I cannot come back to work until I am released from this restriction. So...that means another 3 weeks out of work! Although I am really enjoying my time of, being able to spend lots of time with Chris and Brady, I really need to go back to work to help bring in money to pay the bills!!! Hopefully I can get something squared away with my short-term disability company tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed!

My best friend's cousin had heart surgery today to have a valve replaced. I talked to her this evening and she said he came through the surgery just fine. He is in ICU at Eggleston Hospital in Atlanta. They are keeping him sedated tonight, and will hopefully let him wake up tomorrow! Please keep him and his family in your prayers. Pray that he has a full recovery!!

I found out the my memaw's dog has cancer in one of her toes. She is undergoing surgery tomorrow to hopefully remove all of the cancer! My memaw is a nervous wreck! Lucy, the dog, is her life! Please pray that Lucy makes it through the surgery and that she will be able to keep my memaw company for many more years!

Well, I'll update with more later! Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow and a wonderful weekend!!!

Well, I finally had surgery on my right wrist yesterday, only to find out that there was a lot of inflammation in the tissues. Dr. Dunn cleaned out all the inflammation while he was in there. I am at home now slowly recuperating with my right arm in a splint until my follow up appointment on July 23. The pain wasn't so bad yesterday, however, today I have had to take my pain medication around the clock. Well, I just wanted to update everyone on the status of my wrist! Will update with more later. It's very hard to type with one hand in a splint!!!

Well, I'm going under the knife tomorrow morning sometime after 0930. I have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 0930 and will go into surgery shortly after all the pre-op stuff is done. I am just hoping and praying the Dr. Dunn will find out what has been causing my wrist to be so painful! Please keep me in your prayers!
We took Brady to the doctor today because he was running fever and crying inconsolably today. Turns out he has a bad sinus infection on top of trying to cut his two front top teeth! Yikes!!! Today was not a fun day for Chris! He stayed home with him while I was at work. He was put on an antibiotic that we started tonight. I hope this works. I feel bad for the little fella!!!
Will update with more later!!

I have recently found out that my surgery on my wrist will be on Friday July 11, 2008 at the hospital. I am looking forward to getting this over with and hopefully finding out what has been causing me so much pain over the last few months!!

Brady is growing up so fast! He will be 1 year old next Wednesday! I can't believe how time flies! He is cruising around the house holding onto furniture. He hasn't quite gotten up the courage to walk without support, but I feel that it is coming very soon! He is cutting some new teeth, which isn't going to be fun for Chris and me! He has become very irritable over the last few days because of it. Also, we have begun to notice that he has a pretty good attitude when he doesn't get what he wants!!!
