It was fun to get out and get cold tonight! It's so fun to have a sledding hill right in our back yard! We took Claire out in the snow for the first time and she wasn't too sure about it. We took her on the small hill first and she didn't cry, but didn't want to go again. We did get her to go down the big hill, sandwiched between Jared and I, but she wasn't thrilled about it at all. When we asked her if she was having fun she quickly responded with a NO....but then when we got inside and talked with her about it, she said she loved it and was so proud that she went sledding, just like Brother!
I just had to show off these beautiful quilts Jared's mom made for us. She is so incredibly talented! We love them...and it so fun to think of her and how much we love her every time we look at them! Thanks Suz!

Thanks so much for letting me hold an auction for you! It wasn't a huge turn out! But we would LOVE to donate what we made!!! I see that you have reached your goal!!! HURRAY for that!!! Do you have a paypal account that I can transfer the funds over to for you since COTA doesn't accept paypal? THanks again!!! Shannon
Hello. I knew Jared and his family growing up. Hal and Susan are still living by my parents.
Had a thought on the rash. My nephew gets them when he eats oats. I was wondering if she has started eating anything new that might be causing it. Maybe eating it one day and not the next. I know how frustrating rashes can be. My husband works as a PA with Travis (Becca's hubby) he hates the rashes with no answer. Good luck your kids are so cute.

Natalie!
I am SO thrilled that things are going so well! I couldn't be happier to hear that Claire had her transplants and all went smoothly! Okay, as you know, I am NO doctor, but thought I would put this in your pot to stir: red, itchy rashes are very often times reported when liver functions are elevated, and CAN be(though not always) attributable to the liver not functioning quite like it should. So, the fact that her enzymes are elevated around the time she developed the rash could be suggestive that rash is related to the elevated liver functions. Are you aloud to give her benadryl? Benadryl often helps with the itch even if the cause of the rash is undetermined. Also, our doctors often prescribe hydoxyzine to help kids with skin rashes sleep at night. It is an antihistamine also, but has a drowsy/sleepy effect (more so then Benadryl), and can be very effective for many "itchy" children who can't sleep. I am sure she is on a slew of drugs right now, and I am unsure whether or not they would even consider giving her more, or whether or not you would even want this, but thought I would mention it!
Please keep me posted!
Love Always,

Hmmm...I hope they can figure out what is causing the rash very soon! I'll keep you guys in my prayers. Those quilts are SOO BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing photos of them!
Very cute quilts. I love them, and yes she is very talented.
Had one more thought. Benadryl cream is good to help with itching. Hope the dr. will approve. Good luck.
