The Life of Titus: Flu, Fever, and a Rash

Flu, Fever, and a Rash

Tucker has the flu. He's been quarantined at Nana's house for the last 3 days, but the doctor confirmed yesterday he's got the flu.

And Titus has a fever and a rash. The doctor thinks it's just something viral but the poor little guy is miserable. He finally settled last night and slept.

And Dad has now been moved to Zale-Lipshy rehab. They are enjoying having a private room, chairs in the room for guests to sit in, and a place where mom can also nap. They are saying now that Dad may be coming home in 2-3 weeks to rehab at home (in a wheelchair) for several weeks and then back to rehab to work on walking.

And in the middle of all this, we had Becky's GEMS on Tuesday night with about 30 people (and a major thunderstorm/tornado raging outside), Becky finished her kitchen drapes (which look awesome), and Paul has been tracking down missing equipment all over the country (when did that become HR's job?)

Introduction

This all began with emails, random thoughts, and prayer requests when our 5th son, Titus Beck, was born. From the moment he was born, issues arose which have led us on a new journey of faith.

Titus was born with micronagthia (recessed chin) that blocked his breathing, cleft palate, profound deafness, blindness, Dandy-Walker variant, ASD/VSD, hemi-vertebrae in the spine, and the list continues. He has had 8 surgeries in 14 months and spent 115 days in the NICU or PICU.

And yet, with all of that, Titus is gift from God, a blessing, a content and happy baby.

And along with Titus, we have 4 other boys, 2 golden retrievers, 2 nurses, and whole cast of characters that flow in and out of our house. To us, it's quite routine and normal, but others don't seem to see it that way. Follow along the journey of our daily life.
