Hallelujah + History
So, big news! Asher has cultured NEGATIVE for Pseudomonas for the last three consecutive cultures now, which means we’re on a break from Tobi!!! HALLELUJAH!!! I know I’ve said it before, we are so thankful that we have Tobi to fight this relentless lung infection, but we also equally hate the Tobi rounds. They add an additional 45 minutes a day to Asher’s treatment time, he usually gets a cold, and he doesn’t eat or sleep as well. For the last 1.5 years we have been on the 28 days on 28 days off cycle, and now we have a break and can breathe. We’re not sure how long the break will last, and we’ll be going in every month or so for cultures to make sure we catch this infection right away when it flares up again, but for now we are celebrating big time!!!
I wanted to do something fun with Asher to celebrate, so we went to the AZ Museum of Natural History – it was recommended by my friend, Meagan. And, I’m pretty sure I just made Asher’s year! He was so flippin’ excited the entire two hours we were there, it was hysterical! He is really into dinosaurs now, and completely lost his mind when we walked in and they had a couple of huge dinosaurs in the lobby! They have a lot of fun hands-on things for kids to do there, a lot of different exhibits you can walk through, and the people that work there are so exceptionally nice! It was such a fun morning, and a perfect way to celebrate the Tobi break. Couple highlights…
– Asher was making everyone there smile and laugh at his excitement for absolutely everything. The employees kept wanting to show him how to make things work, and to tell him about the dinosaurs because he was enjoying everything so much. I just love how excited he is about life.
– They have a courtyard out back where you can pan for gold. Of course we had to try it for a bit, but after awhile I said, “come on Asher let’s go look at something else this is kinda lame.” He said, “yeah, kinda lame.” and threw down his pan. Woopsies, guess I need to work on my positive spins, ha!
– No pee pee accidents while we were there. This is huge.
– He kept calling all the Indian statues “knights”. “Whoa, look at that knight, Mommy!”
– When we walked into this big room full of dinosaur skeletons he ran up to one and said, “Triceratops!” in his 2 year old voice. I couldn’t believe it, he was right!
– Every 20 mins or so they have a big thunderstorm that goes off with lightning and thunder, and they have a 3 story waterfall that starts rushing down the mountain. For some reason this scared Asher and whenever he would hear the thunder and water starting he would grab me and want me to hold him…I know it’s terrible, but I may have walked past it a few times to get some snuggles from my boy :).

SO glad he liked it! I agree that the panning for gold was lame! And the thunderstorm scared Samantha too-pretty sure that’s why she said she never wants to go back.
GOOD JOB ASHER for not having any accidents. That is huge!
Sounds like a wonderful day.
Adios, Tobi!!!! Really, that is hallelujah-worthy for sure!!! We will be praying that the psuedo stays far, far away!
Oh, and I’m so glad you guys went to the dinosaur museum! I can totally picture Asher absorbing every second of the fun!!!
That’s so awesome that you have a 3 month break…and hopefully even longer!! Looks like you guys had a great time at the museum and it cracked me up that repeated that panning for gold was lame. 🙂
