‪Although it sucks when we fail, there is always a valuable lesson to be learned. Such as, what could I have done better? What to avoid next time or what to incorporate next time. Failure is a tool for #personalgrowth as we learn through our experiences. ‬ (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzUQQDYD_mG/?igshid=1i8h618b4figx

Well, unfortunately Athan is back in the hospital. He has been having pretty severe headaches, the Neurosurgeon ordered an MRI today and they saw increased fluid around his brain. He will be going under anesthesia tomorrow for for a full spine MRI with and without contrast. They will decide how to proceed after they review the images. Please keep Athan in your prayers and positive thoughts.

We are heading home! It is going to feel so good to sleep in our own bed. The nuggie is happy to be going home, but kind of uncomfortable in car seat for his back. #noplacelikehome https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbwNg-B0Ro/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j288gq8tsvok

Fear is paralyzing and gives me this feeling of uncertainty. Like what is happening to us or around us is out of our control. · 99.9% of the time, life is out of our control but that doesn’t stop us from trying to get a handle on it. I had a lot of anxiety and fear leading up to and during the spinal cord shunt surgery for Athan aka Captain America. The one thing that helped me keep it together was faith. The surgery went as planned and that was a huge relief. · But nothing in life is straight forward or simple. Captain America is having unseen complications after his surgery and I feel the same anxiety and fear I felt before Athan’s surgery. I do not know what the future holds but I am certain of one thing; I can find comfort during uncertain times through faith and hope. · Tag a friend who gives you hope when you need it the most! #keepthefaith #fearisaliar https://www.instagram.com/p/BsaH6kNgxeB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=161hooi7ydyss

Athan came through his surgery great today. They placed the shunt in his spinal cord between L9 and L10. He is resting comfortably now and his pain is being managed. I hope tomorrow is as good as today was for pain.
