Back to ICU 8/21/23 morning

Bit of a setback last night. During the night he had a fever, high blood pressure, low sodium, and had a seizure around midnight, but none since.

 He's back in PICU, being monitored closely, and now headed down for MRI to see what if anything has changed. 

Thanks for praying!

    Sitting here reading through the blog with Chloe and weeping. She said she hasn't seen him on Snapchat, or responded to texts. We had no idea this was going on. Praying, crying, hoping. Let us know if/when he can have visitors.

    Prayers!!! Primary is definitely an amazing children's hospital, and we had first hand experience with several neurosurgeons there with Coltin. They have amazing staff and Justin is in great hands. Thank God they figured out the issue, and prayers for a fast recovery!!!!

8/19/24 One year. One year? It's been 1 year.

well hello there, remember me? let's just get straight to it, shall we? it has been 1 year today since Justin's life saving craniotomy. it's hard to believe, as time is a fickle and funny beast. it ebbs & flows, fast & slow, yet constant & unrelenting. recap of that crazy week: head cold. soccer game. no soccer. a week of headaches. dr visit "oh, it's his stomach". another dr visit, "take him to the ER to get fluids but no it's not meningitis" (implied "are you stupid?"). next day ER and thankfully a shift change that brought the dr God intended. thus the lumbar puncture, CT, and transfer to Primary hospital for MRI and 2 surgeries. you know the rest.  the miracle of God saving Justin's life. the heartfelt prayers from around the world. the extreme hard work he put into his speedy recovery. a little bit of Bob Ross (that is another story for another time). after getting out of the hospital for the 2nd time, so many thing...

Holidays 2023 written 12/31/23

We enjoyed a visit from Steve's mom for Thanksgiving, and also kept our 4 favorite dogs, yes all at the same time. Our own version of G.O.A.T. (left to right Riggs Theo Ivy Koa) We had an early snow, and Justin boarded on Snowbird opening day, then hopped a plane to Orlando. Unfortunately no more snow to speak of. Christmas was low-key, but we have ALL enjoyed the week off of work and school.  Someone asked if I'd be happy the year was over, implying hardship, difficulty, etc. We said, "Justin is alive, what is there to move on from?" By the grace of God we are still Four Fabulous Fahrenkrogs. Wishing each of you a Happy New Year and welcome to 2024 tomorrow. 🎉😁💝 (Here are also a few more scenes from State Cup from a professional photographer.)

The Beginning of the Story 8/12/23 recorded on 8/19/23

As John Eldrege shares in his book  Epic: The Story God Is Telling (https://www.amazon.com/Epic-Joh-Eldredge/dp/0785288791/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FBIFGDPPC3B3&keywords=epic+john+eldredge+book&qid=1692558665&sprefix=epic+john%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-1 - a great read for $2.99) we are living our story as part of a bigger story.   This is the story of Justin's bout/battle with meningitis aka Sinogenic Subdural Empyema aka sinus bacteria going into the brain fluid/menges and causing infection, pus & swelling. This is a part of the bigger s tor y in his life, which is part of the unique role Justin has in the amazing story God is telling. Sorry that this will sound like a script we have been telling the doctors for 48 hours; because it is. Grab a cuppa and read. We know for sure on August 12th that Justin had a cold. It could have started a day or two earlier, but he felt well enough to play soccer that night. I wasn't there but apparently he played out of his mind! On ...
