Update...

I am very pleased to report that Maverick is doing fabulous! I am in awe as to how he is doing but not surprised since I truly believe that God is bigger than any tumor that he was diagnosed with! The road ahead is still unknown, but for now Maverick is not only acting more like himself, he is now playing ball and wrestling around with his cousins (which he didn't always do BEFORE he became symptomatic)! As hard as it was to hear that he has a massive tumor, I have come to see the blessings in it all. My schedule is very crazy and all over the place and it has always been hard for me to take time out of my day to spend with my 'boys'.  After I was told that something was wrong with Maverick it made me prioritize myself a little bit better and I vowed to enjoy the time I have left with him, whether it be 6 weeks or another 6 years. All of a sudden I found 10 minutes here and 15 minutes there and am now on a committed schedule of walking the boys 3x a day. I am ashamed to say that I have never walked my boys this often! I was always too busy or didn't feel up to it and now our 3 walks are the best few minutes in my day. Maverick is super excited to get out on our walks and Grahamy is too cute as his little feet try to keep up with us. 

It is often said that sometimes we don't know what we have until we lose it. Let me encourage all of you to throw that life lesson out the window. Enjoy the things you have been given and the people you have in your life because unfortunately, life is way too short to take anything or anyone for granted. And, heck, take a walk! Because even as crazy as life gets, you can always find 10 minutes out of your day if you really wanted to.
