In the clinic playroom and then enjoying a post-procedure popsicle! Because he had a spinal procedure, he has to lay low for an hour, almost done that now. Watching shows until 11:15 when we should get the green light out of here and head to the ferry!
1:37 pm
We are in line and will board the 3:15 boat to Nanaimo!!!
7:45pm
Home to brothers, Oma, Tucker, friends next door. As it should be.
Other than the smiling, teary faces of our family and friends welcoming us home, the first thing I noticed was the SMELL! It's spring, almost summer! Who knew? There were only a few buds on the trees when I left home 6 weeks ago. I came home to the lush greenery, fresh from a rain shower. It was unbelievable. That's when I realized I haven't been outside for more than about 20 minutes since we left home. This is bliss ... until my hay fever kicks in.
The Marty Party of 2014! Thank you, our dear camp family and actual family for making this day so special. So much love for our one-of-a-kind boy. This Mama's heart is pining for home and the reunion will be so sweet!

Many of you have already generously donated to our Fundraiser page to help our family cover the costs of Jaxon's expenses over the next three years, to which we cannot express enough gratitude.
There is also an urgent great need for Jaxon ... to have a healthy home for him to return to where his immune system can recover.
We live on site at Camp Imadene and the Imadene Foundation is currently accepting donations so they can renovate our home and bring it up to an acceptable standard of living for Jaxon. All donations are tax receiptable.
Our home needs a few significant upgrades including a kitchen, bathroom, laundry facilities, windows, flooring and a new heating system. These could total up to $60,000 which is a substantial amount of money, but the Imadene Foundation is committed to making sure Jaxon has a suitable home and feel these changes are necessary.
If you, or someone you know, is interested in supporting our family in this way, please check out the Imadene link below (or share it so others can know our need).
This project is somewhat urgent as it is the one thing that is keeping Jaxon from a consistent living environment and is also the last step in seeing him re-united with his brothers and favorite backyard here at Camp.
