HAPPY RE BIRTHDAY EASTON🎉💙
3 years ago today, Easton received his life saving bone marrow from his dad! Just like any first child, with him, I was just learning how to be a mom. Not only was I learning how to be a mom with the normal basics, I was learning how to become a medical mom. While learning about things like teething, transitioning to solid food, etc.., I was learning how to draw up medication, flush a central line, read and undertstand lab work. His diagnosis taught me how to value the moments, take lots of pictures, and love while you can. I always say Easton walked so Kori could run in her HLH diagnosis/BMT. He was our first miracle baby and made me the medical mom I am today.
Not every HLH case ends up with the outcome we did. This is something I will never take for granted. Each re-birthday is just as special as transplant day. As much as we hated enduring the medical life, we are thankful and feel blessed that God gave us this testimony with both of our children. Our family is living proof of his faithfulness. If our experience helps even just 1 person in their own circumstances, it was worth it. Today, we celebrate 3 years of Easton being healthy! Happy re-birthday to my little man!!💙
