Things have been a bit crazy around our house...but crazy is probably the norm. We got the call from dr trese in detroit that cole would have an appointment there on wednesday april 15, followed by surgery on friday april 17, followed by another appointment on tuesday april 21. So last week we made our easter/birthday/road trip plans. last thursday we had a mini birthday for cole and brent since the 16th and the 22 we'll be on our trip. then friday we celebrated cole's birthday at school with 22 chocolate sprinkle donuts :) then we packed everyone up and headed to bartlesville for easter and to drop off eli with my mom and dad. we also had another birthday party for cole with the fam in oklahoma. on monday we rented a razorback red mazda 5, built cole a "tent" in the back seat to block the light, said goodbye to baby eli and headed to chicago for the first half of the almost 15 hour drive. flying was not an option because depending on what they have to do in cole's eye he may not have been able to fly home! this morning we will leave for detroit to arrive mid afternoon. when we get there today i am going to give blood that they will take enzymes out of to use during cole's surgery. this procedure is used to help with the debris removal. we get to meet the great dr trese tomorrow, play all day on thursday for cole's bday, then friday will be surgery day.

we are so thankful that we are able to bring cole to dr trese, this dr gives cole the best possible chance of regaining sight in his right eye, he is the best pediatric retina specialist in the country so cole will have the an amazing team in God and dr t, we are confident of that. we are also thankful that cole doesn't have to have any appointments on his bday, we are going to do some fun things that day. I'll post pictures :)
