It’s been a while since our last family-related post. With everything else going on, we forgot to mention that we had our final court hearing last Wednesday (the 8th). It was really a formality, but a requirement in order to get birth certificates issued for the boys from the United States. That just makes some [...] . . . → Read More: Adoption Finalized We met with an oncologist this afternoon to get a handle on Bacchus’ prognosis. She painted a much bleaker picture than the surgeon. He indeed has lymphoma, but based on the fact that it was in an internal organ, she believes that it is probably the more difficult “T-cell” strain. The “B-cell” variety is generally [...] . . . → Read More: Lymphoma We received word today from Dr. Stubbs that the biopsy of the tumor does indicate lymphoma. For the possible cancer types, this is the best we could have hoped for for treatment. The company that does the biopsy wants to do further special staining which will hopefully help us understand what chemo treatments, and how [...] . . . → Read More: Update on Bacchus 
Many of you have heard about the snow storm that hit Denver this weekend. It turns out to be the biggest February snowfall to ever hit Colorado, breaking the previous record set 100 years ago. The forecast starting on Thursday was for 8-10″. Thursday night that was revised to 10-15″. Even Friday morning, as the [...] . . . → Read More: Snowy Saturday I just thought we’d give everyone a quick update that Bacchus came home this afternoon. He’s doing great – maybe too great. He’s probably too energetic and enthusiastic for his own good right now. It is terrific to see him acting this lively. We just hope we can keep him calm enough not to disturb [...] . . . → Read More: He’s Home We just got back from visiting Bacchus. The surgery went as well as we could have hoped. The doctor was able to remove the mass and resect the section of intestine. We were fortunate in that the mass was basically in the middle of the small bowel, where surgery is relatively simple. The doctor had [...] . . . → Read More: Bacchus Post Op It’s been a difficult day around here. Many of you know that Bacchus has been acting strangely for a while. He has been throwing up a lot, and has lost a lot of weight. Today we learned that he has a massive tumor blocking his intestines, and appears to have a cancerous development in his [...] . . . → Read More: Scary News It blows my mind, but one year ago today, Lara and I drove to Karachev to meet Alex for the first time. What a blur! As you can see from the pictures, he’s changed quite a bit in that year. Not only has his fashion sense changed, but he’s much bigger, and a lot more [...] . . . → Read More: Alex – One Year Later 
What can we possibly say to wrap up 2011. ‘Unforgettable’ is too casual of a word. It was a year that provided us the experience of a lifetime, and the joy of bringing two beautiful little boys into our lives. We thought we’d put together this little summary of the past year. Just one word of [...] . . . → Read More: 2011 Year in Review It was three months ago today that we were starting our new life together in our home. When you think of it time-wise, that’s not so long ago. But when we step back and see how well the boys are doing, we’re simply amazed! Evan speaks mostly in English now (but does enjoy hearing some [...] . . . → Read More: Home Three Months |
