Long time, no blog. My bad. Things have been busy, to say the least. At work, we are trying to get the release of Qualtrax 4.0 completed, which has proven a hefty task. On top of that, project seem to constantly boil up and require attention. I am typically at work shortly after 8 in the morning and return home whenever I finish for the day. Kind of depressing, actually. We should work to live, not live to work. Why can we not get that through our heads sometimes?

Ian has been doing well, overall... kind of. His PELD remains consistent with where it has been for several months now, but he has moved up the list a bit since the center has done several transplants recently. This is great news for everyone, really, since it means kids are getting another chance at life and Ian is also getting a chance to continue to grow and develop.

Growth and development took something of a sidestep two weeks ago. Ian was in the nursery at church when an accident occurred and he was on the wrong end of a broken leg. He had what is called a buckle fracture, meaning the break was not completely through, requiring nothing along the lines of setting the bone. He has had an aircast on his leg for two weeks straight, and we've discouraged him from walking or even standing on his leg. Today he was given the green light to resume 'somewhat normal' activity. No jungle gyms, but he can walk if it is comfortable and from what Elaine tells me, he has taken full advantage.
