March Montage

It happened again.  My phone won't allow any more photos because I've maxed out my storage.  I'm sure there is an easier way, but I finally downloaded them on the computer making room for more blurry memories.

With the help of my lovely assistant, Kate, we made another family video.  Looking through these snap shots, I realize we are boring.  There's a lack of exotic sunsets, finish line poses, gourmet dinners, airplane selfies, arena jumbo-trons, and pallet wood backdrops.  But putting pictures to music makes our snapshots seem more blissful, contemporary, and meaningful than reality.  I'll take it!

March is a game changer for this family.  It's in this blessed month when we found out that both Davey and Maggie have spina bifida.  2007 and then again in 2012.  In March 2015 we fully embrace our spina bifida madness.  Whoever said a disability doesn't define us...well, that's not true.  It's all semantics, but we couldn't imagine a more meaningful definition to our family.  Except for "The Killpacks...hand models by morning, marathon winners by afternoon, and KilTrapp Family Singers by night".

    I love this! I am committed to taking more family selfies. We never do and it's a total shame. You are lovely in every way.

At The Moment

Josie was reluctant to go to school today.  Friday was her "worstest day ever" of kindergarten.  According to her account, nobody would play with her at recess.  "I would ask different girls but they said they wanted to play with somebody else."  Then on the bus ride home, a girl kept pulling her pigtails, sang a mean song making fun of her and yanked her backpack.  I asked Josie how she reacted.  Her response, "I just sat in the corner."   When Matt heard the story he said, "Nobody puts Josie in a corner."  Just like Patrick Swayze.  I think it's easier to say goodbye to a daughter being wheeled into an operating room than watch her venture into the great unknown of kindergarten. Speaking of surgery, we are still in limbo for Maggie's surgery... ETV-CVF .  We are scheduled for this Thursday, but I'll meet with the neurosurgeon on Wednesday and reevaluate whether or not we should proceed.  We don't know what to do...

Flippidy Floo Flah Folic

Last time I was at Shriners, one of the doctors asked if I had checked my folic acid levels after having Davey.  I responded that I'd never heard of anything like that and had not checked them.  The doctor then proceeded to say she had spoken with a geneticist about our family...two kids with spina bifida.  The geneticist said that I most likely don't metabolize folic acid properly, so that's why my last two children have spina bifida.  In summary, they thought that if I had checked my folic acid levels after Davey, I would have seen that something was wrong and could have prevented Maggie from having spina bifida.  As I listened to these burning words, I thought, "Do you know what you're saying?"  I turned away, bounced with Maggie, and wiped my tears. I'm often asked about folic acid.  It's an integral part of spina bifida prevention , and I should lecture about how everyone should take their folic pills.   But I'm not in t...

Shunt Happens

On Thursday night, I couldn't get rid of a nagging concern.  Maggie's eyes were sunsetting.  This is where the  eyes turn downward with the white showing above.  It wasn't constant, and she wasn't showing the typical signs associated with brain swelling.  But the Spirit just kept working at me, and I decided to call the neurosurgeon at Primary Childrens.  He wasn't too concerned and told me to come on Friday for spina bifida clinic.  Once there, the doctor thought it was nothing because Maggie's fontanelle (soft spot) was still soft and of course Maggie wasn't sunsetting for him.  But I didn't want to go to Houston next week until I knew for sure she was okay.  So he ordered a head ultrasound.  Sure enough, the ultrasound showed significant swelling in the ventricles of  her brain.  A shunt is needed. Poor Maggie. I hate to see her go through another surgery.  When I'm at the docs office and get bad news,  I try to a...
