Today was Christians 12th birthday. We had cousins, aunts, and a grandma here. It felt so good to have a day that concentrated on Christian. Poor little guy has been so overlooked. Tammie and I have been real careful to include him in everything. But it is hard. When Tammie had to pull double shifts at the hospital it was hard on him. She was gone for days. Those are the down times for him because he worries about Kaylee and misses mom. My routine is not as structured as Tams.
We ate pizza and everyone pitched in for a new video game console. He was so happy. It was a good day for me as well. I was so happy today that it was his day. Kids wait a year for this big event. They count down the months and they inform you of the approaching date as if it were the most important day ever, and it is.
I met with The KC Blood Bank and mapped out the blood drive quickly approaching. Gail's Harley Davidson sent Dee Austin, special events coordinator, to plan the special event. People are so nice, to provide a blood bank location is a very kind and dear thing. I sound a little soft but it means so much to me. To have a child dependent on blood and transfusions, platelets and strength, it tackles you. You feel ignorant that you overlooked its importance when you were healthy. Needing blood sounds so bazaar, but we do every week. It gauges our baby girl's strength, her mood, and progress.
But enough about Kaylee, its all about Christian.
