Colts

A lot has been happening at the York household. They enjoyed the New Year come in the comfort of their home and on Sunday went to the Colts/"fire team" game. Jackson and Matt gave the players high fives as they ran out on to the field to start the game and were pictured on the big screen! Kyle and I were planning to go with them but I could not get off work in time. We eventually made it to the game but missed all the important parts (Jackson on the field). That is not important though. What is important is Jackson had a wonderful time (even though I want to cry everytime I think about it). Matt, Ashely, and Jackson sat in field seats basically on the field. Closer than front row! Kyle and I could see them from our seats. We talked to them on the phone and waved from up high. It was an amazing experience for them and I know they all 3 will remember it forever.

After the game it was back to reality. Mondays are hard on the 3 of them because Jackson has to be put to sleep by mask in order to access his port. He is not fond of the mask and it is heart breaking for Matt or Ashley to hold him down. Tuesday blood work showed Jackson needed a blood tranfusion so Wednesday was a long day of getting blood. Matt also had to go back to work this week so I need to be a better cousin and check in on Ash a little more. It can't be easy on her. I know she has depended on Matt so much though all this, that's what spouses are for. I am sure it's even harder for Matt to leave them for work but he is doing what has to be done at this time.
