Healing Mass with Gram!

Last night Mommy and I went to a Healing Mass with Mamaw Dorthy. Mommy and Mamaw were really impressed with how well I behaved. I saw patiently (which is pretty hard for me - hah) and listened to Pastor Curt talk. My favorite part was when we went up to the alter and he said a special prayer for Mommy's back. During the prayer we placed our hands on her back to help give her a speedy recovery. Thanks Mamaw for inviting us to come with you!

Mommy & me all dressed up for Church.
Mamaw - thank you so very much for all of your help during this difficult time. We're not quite sure what we would do without you! You have no idea how much you're loved and appreciated and we feel so blessed to have you in our lives :)

It's been a wild ride here in the Katz household! Quick update on my back injury: It's been a month since I severely herniated my L5 disk in my lower back. We're still not sure how this happened but we're told it's common in young Mom's. I have my last steroid epidural injection tomorrow in hopes that this one will allow me to walk (all prayers are greatly appreciated). I've been sleeping in a hospital bed which allows me to get out of bed easier and spend my days in a wheelchair with some use of a walker. We want to say a special thanks to our family and friends who have helped us with Kai & Kohlston as well as those who have dropped off delicious meals. Update on Kai & Kohlston: Kai is as busy as ever and ready for preschool. We hope to start with 2 days a week and see how that goes (once we fix my situation). Kohlston is 7 months old with 6 teeth. He's still a laid back little guy with a wonderful disposition. He started crawling a few weeks ago! Oh - his blonde hair sticks straight up - it's so cute (see below). I haven't been as camera happy as usual but we're slowly getting back into the swing of things.

Bathtime together!

Hi Family & Friends,
As you can see we haven't updated our blog since last year. There is a good excuse that's forsure! On Christmas Day Mommy awoke with back pain. To make a very long story short after going to the ER 2 days later she learned that she herniated a disk in her lower back. The Doctor gave strict orders for bedrest. Going on 15 days and counting. Please keep our Mommy in your thoughts and prayers.
We will post pictures once she is well and walking again.
Happy New Year,
Kai & Kohlston
