2014, a year of hope for the Power family. The New Year always reminds me of my mother. In 2007, we said goodbye to a year where my Dad had undergone cancer treatments and my sister had spent a lot of time making bad decisions that effected our family. We were welcoming this New Year with open arms, hoping for health and love for our family and my “ new family”. I had just announced that my parents would be grandparents for their first time, making the prospect of 2008 being as my mother called it…” Our best year yet”. Little did we know that in just six short weeks we would say goodbye to my mother forever. Every new years eve, I still hear her say “Our best year yet”.
2014 brings hope of health for Jack and healing for our family. Jack and I will travel to Boston Children’s Hospital the second week of January. He has appointments scheduled with neurology and genetics during our time there. Two weeks ago his neurologist in Boston took his case to their monthly surgical conference where they deemed his case worthy of more testing to find help to control his epilepsy and to hopefully figure out what is causing his many other issues. He will be an inpatient for at least 7 days with appointments the week prior to his admission. Michael will remain at home with Morgan and Holly and try to maintain some sense of normalcy for the girls while continuing to work.
This will be the first of several trips to Boston this year for us, I’m sure. Jack is hoping to see snow and excited to take his first trip on an airplane. Holly is excited to spend time with her Daddy and Morgan will be excited to have her first birthday. Michael and I are hopeful that this WILL be “Our best year yet”, a year where miracles happen and healing takes place.
