Mom life

10/22/19
Little sleep ✔️
Kids in your bed ✔️
Changing kids clothes for the 3rd time in less than an hour ✔️
Stepping into something questionable in your socks ✔️

Being a stay at home mom, is a JOB! Don’t let anyone tell you any different. That has been my new title since being home for almost 5 months. Thanks be to God for my job that has been oh so very understanding with all the appointments and follow ups for Emerson.
But I have enjoyed spending thus time bonding with my youngest. Even cooking up new dishes, along with baking. I can see the fulfillment of being there for your kids. More so at this age. I’m sure by the time they are teenagers they will be finding ways to avoid me. Although I must admit my moments of avoiding or hiding from them so I don’t have to share my food. Heehee
So for now I will enjoy showing up to my sons class in my white coat and scrubs and talking about being a doctor. Or helping prepare for fall fest. I will read and snuggle every night, allow for cracked eggshells to be scooped out of the cookie dough batter, push the stepper so that I can have pancake helpers, fill the tub with bubbles, chase them in their bikes, push them on their swings...

New Beginnings...

So as many of you may know our family is not on any sort of social media. However since the birth of our 3rd child, Emerson Daniel, this past summer, I wanted an opportunity to keep those whom are close to use up to date with our lives. As you may come to notice that I will be writing a lot about our youngest as we have been given some medical mysteries with this guy. God has and always been faithful to us during this time. Now I am hoping you will be patient with me, as this whole blogging is fairly new to me. As you will see there are pages, with specified topics. However new updates should show up on the main page when you check in. Please do not hesitate to leave messages, and above all prayers. In Christ The Calderons

Caution, this post is real, as they all are. However it may make some of you uncomfortable.  Have you every watched Moana? There is a scene where moana is after Maui. Well in the middle of the night as she is voyaging there is a storm, she ask the water to help. She wakes up ship wrecked on an island and is upset, because she believes she is off course. She realizes she landed on the island where Maui has been. Well let me give you a better picture. The disciples sitting in a boat, and there is a bad storm. All the while Jesus is asleep. WHAT! The disciples in fear of drowning awoke Jesus.  “And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing." And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:25-27‬  Since Emerson was diagnosed I have held on

🥶 That is how we are feeling down here in New Orleans. I mean it went from like low 70s to upper 40s. We are not use to this sort of weather. The kids are all bundled up, and I can’t seem to put on enough layers in order to keep warm. Emerson, Ayeya and I are at clinic today. Mac has already had his blood drawn, and we are waiting to get our numbing patch placed. It will hopefully help decrease the pain of the lumbar puncture. Our hope is to get more than 1ml so that some can be sent for flow cytometry again. The thought is that Mac may have a bi-phenotype of leukemia, which means there is a combination rather than one focal type. This also means additional medication may be warranted to get rid of the bad cells.  We are currently waiting for the chemo medications to arrive in order to place the numbing patch. Poor guys, will once again be scrunched like an accordion. There are moments that I am grateful he is still so small that he won’t remember all of this:   ✔️ poking
