Disney 2012

We cannot thank Casey Cares, Something MAAgic and Give kids the World enough for a wonderful vacation to Disney World!  Jeffrey had an absolute blast!!  This is a trip that our family will NEVER forget!  This was a trip that was given to our family to take a week away from all medical appointments and stress!  Jeffrey is truly an amazing child in more ways then one and is very grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of wonderful support groups!  During our stay in Disney we had the pleasure of staying at Give Kids the World village and visiting many Disney parks such as, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios and Island of Adventure.  Jeffrey got to meet many characters as well.  We flew from Northern VA. to Fla via American Airlines and Something Maagic.  It was an amazing flight!  Reagan Nation airport in DC and Dallas Fort Worth airport did a wonderful job of making Jeffrey's flights magical!    We were on our local news station.  I am attaching the link for all to view!! I can not even begin to tell everyone what all we did.  It was amazing all the fun we had!!  I have attached a few pics of the activities that we did!!

Jeffrey turns 4!!!

Jeffrey turned 4 on September 23, 2012!!!!  I can not believe how time has flown by and our big boy is 4 already!  We had a party at home with all his friends that come to his house for daycare!  He had a blast!!  He is truly one amazing little boy!  I have attached some pictures of his home birthday party!  We have decided not to have a big birthday part him this year as we celebrated his 4th birthday in Fla. with mickey and Minnie mouse thanks to Casey Cares, Something Maagic and Give Kids the World!!  We are planning on doing a family gathering for him in October! 

Jeffrey's Clinic Appointment

Today we had Clinic and all went very well. Yes we already knew that the MRI looked great! We seen neurology and they will keep Jeffrey's MRI'S every three months until we hit the 3 year post treatment mark which is not until September of 2013. So one more year of the every three month MRI'S. I can deal Wit that! On another note a scary note for mama... We are weaning Jeffrey off of the Keppra (Antiseizure meds.) Dr. Packer believes that this med is causing his behavior problems that we are seeing, such as hyper activity and lethargy. I hope this is true but we have Diastat on hand if we need it! Other then that he looks great and all his blood counts were great! Next scan will be in November!

We would also like to thank Casey Cares as we leave on September 21st for an entire week to go to Disney world to see Mickey mouse Wit Give Kids The World! This is also where Jeffrey gets to spend his 4TH birthday!!!

Best wishes to all

MRI Results!!!

Jeffreys MRI results are in...  Drum Roll PLEASE.............................  The scan looks GREAT!!!  The words   No evidence of residual or recurrent tumor and no significant change in comparison to the previous exam of 5/7/2012. Mean the world to us!!  Nothing sounds better on MRI days!!!  

The morning was a little stressful for mommy as this is the first time i have actually had to juggle both children without a double stroller..  Thankfully god loves us and it all worked out!!  Jeffrey woke up alittle grouchy but all in all he was great!! 

Today was a beautiful day in Northern Va. with two beautiful children!!

Welcome!!

Better late then never...  But The Moore Family would Love to Welcome our newest member!!  Skylar Rose Moore!  Born on August 1, 2012 at 7lbs 8oz 20 Inches long @ 4:25PM.  After being induced at 820am and lots and lots of potocin Skylar finally decided that she would join us!  She had more hair then Jeffrey did!  She healthy and doing well as is Mommy, daddy and Big brother!  While we were in the hospital we did have a head ultrasound done and thankfully all looked great!  She also had her first shots of vitamin K and MMR.  We stayed at Fauquier hospital for 2 1/2 days, which was long enough in my book, the bed was not comfortable and i was ready to be home!  Skylar was not jaundice and her heart sounds great!  I have attached some pictures from the hospital!

Let the count down begin!!

Today i went for my 36 week check up for Lil miss and all went very well.  Shes growing normal with a heart rate of 150!  She measured great as well.  I am also 3 CM dilated!  She can come at any point in time now!  We are rather excited but yet not ready for her in the sense that her room is still not complete!  On the plus side we have everything we need for her when she does arrive!!  I will continue to go to the doc every week unless contractions get very bad and or my water breaks!  Stay posted for updates!!!

35 Weeks down

Lil Miss Skylar is doing well still very active!! She is growing nicely although Mommy's not gaining much weight but that's OK as it will be less i have to loose later!!  Heart rate was great.  On Thurs i will get the group B test done as well.. Dr. will also check for any dilation!  Blood pressure and all looks great as well!!!  We have completed our every 2 week appointments now we are going once a week!!  This only means one thing!  YES!!!  Lil Miss will be here before long!!  We are rather excited!  Jeffrey is especially excited to see his Lil sister!  We have been super busy the past couple of weeks preparing!

We have had some events going on as well.  For one we had our Baby Shower!  It was a blast even in the heat we got a lot of wonderful things that we can not wait to use!  We also enjoyed hanging out with everyone who showed us there love!  We celebrated MOMMY'S 28th Birthday!!  We also had a cookout!  All of these things were a blast!  We enjoyed being around our loved ones swimming and chatting!  Another big event going on is that Daddy will be getting the 68 cougar painted this coming weekend!!  This has been a project we have been working on for almost 4 years now!  We cant wait to see it complete and back out on the track again!!  We also survived the big storms that came through Northern Va. on Friday June 29th.  Thankfully at 8 months pregnant we did not lose power! 


We would like to wish everyone a Happy and safe Fourth Of July!!!
