Thank God for Ann Corwin

We have always valued the esteemed advice of Dr. Ann Corwin. During Zach and Nate's toddler years I went to a group called Toddler Talk each week that was lead by Dr. Corwin. She helped Gary and I through several behavioral issues that we experienced with the boys while they were younger. She never ever lead us down the wrong path while we learned how to effectively discipline and help our kids grow and change their behavior. Well, here we are again calling on Ann to help us with some things that Jax is struggling with.

Jax has been reacting out of fear and new negative behavior has creeped up on us all and we felt like we needed some help to make sure that we were helping Jax to work through things and actually take control of changing his behavior.
Ann has done it again and has placed us on the right path to help Jax be successful! We are so thankful! Praise God for Ann!

We got home from UCI tonight after spending about 1 1/2 hours with the doctors and nurses there. Post-op is not a great experience and Gary even said today that part of him wished he was back in the hospital when he did not have to do anything - drugged up and in bed with a catheter! My heart hurts for him as I see him struggle to get better. He wants to be fully recovered RIGHT NOW and this is going to be a little bit of a longer road than I think either one of us thought.

His pathology is completely 100% clean and he will need to focus now on figuring out how to use his new bladder. I tell him it will take time but it will happen. I can only relate with a pregnancy story. I have had 3 and everytime for a period of time my body completely changes and then with time I get back to a new normal - after having a baby sometimes our cycle changes or our moods change or we pee when we laugh too hard! (I know some of you have had that happen! )

Please keep Gary in your prayers throughout this process. He needs us to pray for his healing (and quickly) and for his mind and spirit to be strong and solid and positive!

Well, we are going to watch Anger Management and hopefully have a few laughs! Thanks to everyone who has visited us and called us!

In His Love,
L
