~With God All Things Are Possible~

As most of you already know, it has been a very difficult year around the Correa household. Jayden has had frequent hospital visits with two surgeries. And last March my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. When she was first diagnosed she was already at stage 3. Our whole family was devistated when we heard the news, afterall it's only been 5 years since we lost our Dad to colon cancer. We knew we had a long road ahead of us. She began chemo treatments last April to shrink the tumor before they could operate. She lost her hair, she was tired, food didn't taste the same but she never complained. Infact she worked FULL TIME through out this whole ordeal. Last Wednesday she had a mastectomy. We have been waiting for almost a week for the pathology report to come back. This morning my Mom went to the Dr. to have her drainage tube removed and we got the results........ NO CANCER WAS FOUND!!! Praise God! Just when I thought my world was crashing down around me I hear the most wonderful news in the world. My Mom is at this moment cancer free! Thank you so much for all of your prayers. She is the strongest lady I know! Thank God she's my Mommy.

Isn't Jojo a cute owl? He was running wild through the entire pumpkim patch. He really liked feeding the animals. Jeana and Andres had fun too. Here they are on a couple of "Hay Horses".

Our First Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Jayden took his first trip to the Pumpkin Patch. My cousin Stephanie has a home daycare and we decided to be adventurous and take a whole bunch of kids on a little field trip. The weather was nice and the kids really enjoyed themselves. They each picked out a pumpkin to take home.

Here is Jojo dressed in Andres' Trojan uniform, he's a Trojan in training. Jayden will be turning two very soon can you guess what he likes? Yup you guessed right, ELMO. Jayden loved sitting in this elmo chair. I think it's on his wish list haha. Look out Jojo, Jayden is almost as big as you!

Go North West Trojans!

We have been going to Andres and Jeana's football games every weekend. Jayden absolutely loves to be outside. Game days are very long days but he loves every minute of it. Jose is usually working so my Mom goes with me. We are so proud of Jeana and Andres. Not only are they staying busy with football and cheerleading but they are getting wonderful grades too! Keep up the hard work kids! Go Trojans!

VNS is AWESOME!!!

Hello everyone! We have prayed and prayed for God to send a miracle to help Jayden gain better seizure control. On August 15, 2006 God answered our prayers. This small device called a Vagus Nerve Stimulator has proven so far to be our lil miracle. Jayden had a seizure this past Tuesday that was 4 minutes long and developed a small cough which is probably why he also had a seizure this past Thursday. Hang on to your seats.... this last seizure was only 2 MINUTES LONG!!!!!! Yup, that's a record for Jayden. No meds!!!! Just his handy-dandy magnet (my new best friend) From what I have read and what people have told me, Jayden is having an exception reaction to the VNS. Most people don't see any kind of results for up to 6 months or a even a year. I saw results as soon as they turned the VNS on. Since then he has been more alert and making small gains all the time. He's a very very happy boy! A big boy too, as of last Tuesday he weighs 29lbs 9oz and 36 inches.
