Room Change 8/20/23

Right before what would be dinner time, we moved from the PICU to a unit in the Neurosurgery wing. They tell me it's a good thing. 👍

He is healing from the infection and now they are focusing on healing the brain. He's being monitored by the correct people and in a quieter room. 

Thank you again to everyone supporting us and offering to help! We appreciate you! 💖

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 ...
