He says that Brett does not have a colloid cyst. He said he does not know what the film shows but that it does not look like a colloid cyst would look. He had three other surgeons looking at the film and they were all scratching their heads. He also said it does not look like anything to be worried about at this point. We scheduled another scan for June 4th to see if it changes. If it does change then he would want to do surgery. If it doesn't change then they would continue to monitor it. He said that it is possible that this is something that has been there Brett's entire life and it may just be there and maybe nothing would ever have to be done to it.Dana Hatchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11822300342473654300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806551907278924350.post-24666912095089787992010-03-26T09:46:00.000-07:002010-03-26T09:50:33.617-07:00Updates on Brett<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjidwAurH2iCXBKzTjb9ZGJtDuD9wctPZeJaf4uMgm6djKv91FBsXlMSkh2RGLzp5b6NLBPhDfJ7uFFT0keNh6EqvP8v8-QfCSTcduxSbyTEwg0WgiXQTbWJqJ19f0u0kSOjyy-YorKR3JL/s1600/IMG_0044.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 167px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjidwAurH2iCXBKzTjb9ZGJtDuD9wctPZeJaf4uMgm6djKv91FBsXlMSkh2RGLzp5b6NLBPhDfJ7uFFT0keNh6EqvP8v8-QfCSTcduxSbyTEwg0WgiXQTbWJqJ19f0u0kSOjyy-YorKR3JL/s200/IMG_0044.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452985534927020130" border="0" /></a><br />I have decided to use my blog to keep friends and family udpated on Brett. He has a colloid cyst deep in his brain. This is not cancerous but it is a concern because it can cause complications or death if left untreated. Surgery is another concern and can also cause all sorts of complications. We are meeting with a neurosurgeon today at OHSU and should have more information on what will be happening. I will post updates as I know more. We appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts.Dana Hatchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11822300342473654300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806551907278924350.post-88118138276069389572010-03-26T09:43:00.000-07:002010-03-26T09:46:35.813-07:00A New Baby<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiGUMDnNYfgT2HJDISUzbZgAM-i_tpe8dC7o0aYau-n6Z_3iGSNImPzzCe-hU5nC9ZUwyN5FtdPUHOcrf5u-XewHExza8Dcx2ix01hUQRzAFaZAO-kPFCv_DZodviJKt4NFzp2oEhNNmzl/s1600/IMG_0061.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiGUMDnNYfgT2HJDISUzbZgAM-i_tpe8dC7o0aYau-n6Z_3iGSNImPzzCe-hU5nC9ZUwyN5FtdPUHOcrf5u-XewHExza8Dcx2ix01hUQRzAFaZAO-kPFCv_DZodviJKt4NFzp2oEhNNmzl/s200/IMG_0061.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452984543892795218" border="0" />We got a furbaby in January. His name is Arnie and his is a 'poochon' which is a poodle and bichon mix. He is oh so adorable and lots of laughs. Cami (aka Naughty Girl) has a love/hate relationship with him.

The card on the left came from a recent meeting and I believe this is a copy of a card front received as a swap at Convention. Sorry but I don't know who to give credit to for this idea. The card uses the stamp set 'Halloween Frights' and the 'Modern Label' punch was used to make the fence. The card (with the candy) on the right was created by my upline and friend Susan Rodgers and uses the Sweet Centers stamp set which is in the Holiday Mini Catalog. We will be making these cards at my Fall/Halloween Workshop on September 17th.

I stamped the butterfly dots image on white cardstock (in Melon Mambo ink) and then stamped over it with the solid butterfly image in Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. The last step is to brayer a color on for the background color (Soft Suede ink) and take a rag and wipe the excess ink off the embossed butterflies. The butterflies, ribbon, and the scallop around the salutation have dots on them and bring the whole card together.</div>Dana Hatchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11822300342473654300noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806551907278924350.post-6295287482147356462009-06-14T15:47:00.000-07:002009-06-14T15:50:55.702-07:00Circle Circus, Clean and Simple<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW8Y3Z4oDDawgh82wAfa1jvYCaqRV_WaaBqbnyjNiumGQ1mv5IR-ArK6q_io8Cc-xTvbBxwacxVG6uoAN54or9JBt_x5yClaR-oba3tF5SGLOT4p2kM0S4h9e5UYQ8-btVXoW3X4ExrgB9/s1600-h/DSC02915.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347319261802743458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 312px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW8Y3Z4oDDawgh82wAfa1jvYCaqRV_WaaBqbnyjNiumGQ1mv5IR-ArK6q_io8Cc-xTvbBxwacxVG6uoAN54or9JBt_x5yClaR-oba3tF5SGLOT4p2kM0S4h9e5UYQ8-btVXoW3X4ExrgB9/s320/DSC02915.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I like this new stamp set (Circle Circus) but have had trouble figuring out how to use it.

The floral card uses a new stamp set called 'Razzle Dazzle' that coordinates with the 'Razzleberry Lemonaide' designer series paper. I used my new in color markers (thank you SU! for making markers for us this year!) to color the floral image. The card with the pheasant stamp was made with a stamp set called 'Autumn Days.' The colors on this card look funky in the photograph and better in real life.

She woke up at 11:30 and yelled for her binky and I told her we should go check and see if the Binky Fairy came. We went downstairs and found the empty basket and a bag of toys. She was very excited, especially with her princess flashlight. She ate some PEZ and played with the new books and blocks. I told her it was time to go to bed but she was so wired we ended up staying up until nearly 3 a.m. She has asked for her binky three times and each time I have told her the BF took them all. She's been okay with that and there have been no melt downs.<br /><br />When I see her sleeping without her binky I feel a little sad because that is the one thing she's had her whole life. Each time she has asked for one it has really tugged on my heart. She is probably handling it better than I am :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkjDEl3J9giJncjtsmOtE5KUBjRolP6wzoqVNjvdzcFwPyz46WTtWQ9qLaWW5_EmfyTpu1FU0KEbuErwwblZ4kEk1kOsI5eDw4y2xOtFP0WxoPDR7C-EmOiYgvdTnSD0_2bx6NYQbEZMUV/s1600-h/DSC02774.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335813240250184354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkjDEl3J9giJncjtsmOtE5KUBjRolP6wzoqVNjvdzcFwPyz46WTtWQ9qLaWW5_EmfyTpu1FU0KEbuErwwblZ4kEk1kOsI5eDw4y2xOtFP0WxoPDR7C-EmOiYgvdTnSD0_2bx6NYQbEZMUV/s320/DSC02774.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Here's the midnight picture from last night.

I told her this morning that today is the day and she even mentioned it to Teacher Margaret when I dropped her off at playschool this afternoon. While she was in her class I went to the toy store and got her 'BF' loot. This afternoon when we got home she told me the Binky Fairy was on the phone and so I had to take the call! I told her the 'BF' wanted to know what toys she wanted and she said "a duck, a dog, and a kitty." Unfortunately the 'BF' didn't get her any of those things but I asked her if she wanted a flashlight, and if she liked books and blocks and she excitedly answered "yes!" Phewwwww.</div><div> </div><div>This evening I told her we needed to get a basket and go around and find all of the binkies so we could put them on the porch for the 'BF.' Once we had them all in the basket she had to ogle them for awhile. She had one in her mouth and refused to put it on the porch with the others. She fell asleep and I yanked that sucker out of there and got rid of all of the binkies. I left the bag of toys and an empty basket. Now I am just waiting for her to wake up but hopefully not until morning. The two pictures above are of her ogle-ing her basket of binkies one last time . . . wish me some sleep tonight please!</div></div>Dana Hatchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11822300342473654300noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806551907278924350.post-7207419641766244862009-05-06T08:01:00.000-07:002009-05-06T08:13:42.844-07:00The Binky Fairy IS Coming<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5nU-Voly7THqI9_HfUeHVTg90gRuBt5bAZCzhU470NxXOwDPdCXFn61zw5LCgQq5WTdjlSKXTRSBYcQNGNedqoWdZ34_PyYZPCNYVzUgJT_cjcD2bP7FTZTIqPwXKhNnLAZNqGWOZb97/s1600-h/DSC02702.crop.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332729272378692338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 193px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5nU-Voly7THqI9_HfUeHVTg90gRuBt5bAZCzhU470NxXOwDPdCXFn61zw5LCgQq5WTdjlSKXTRSBYcQNGNedqoWdZ34_PyYZPCNYVzUgJT_cjcD2bP7FTZTIqPwXKhNnLAZNqGWOZb97/s320/DSC02702.crop.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div>I have been telling Cami stories of the Binky Fairy to let her know that she will be coming by soon to take away the binkies and distribute them to some needy babies. She knows that if she gives them all up the BF will leave her some toys. She has been a binky baby since the day she arrived. We gave her a binky at the hospital the first night (with some resistance from the nurses) and she's been attached ever since. I've tried poking holes in them recently and it doesn't seem to make a difference, she still loves them. I plan to do this next week so the BF has to go to the toy store and find some good loot. She is 2 1/2 and I am not even sure what toys to get her. She loves princess stuff and I saw a princess flashlight online that I hope I can find at a store.
