About me

Dulce
From the AVM SURVIVORS web site: "Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are defects of the circulatory system that are generally believed to arise during embryonic or fetal development or soon after birth. Although AVMs can develop in many different sites, those located in the brain or spinal cord can have especially widespread effects on the body". I am currently undergoing embolizations with Dr. Wayne Yakes @ the Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, CO every 8 weeks! Our lives are either planning a procedure, having a procedure or recovering from a procedure! The trick lately seems to be to keep the "bleeds" under control! My husband Mark is also my caregiver! He has become an expert wound care therapist, not to mention all around bundle of being just exactly what I need to get through the day and this ordeal we call an AVM! I recently finished 10 years of Embolizations w/Dr. Yakes and am finally ready for my next stage - Debulking and reconstructive surgery w/Dr. Robinson in CO - he is a dentist and plastic surgeon! Best advice to an avm patient - Stay positive and surround yourself with supportive people! Lots of faith, prayer and love are all crucial too!

Hanz's B-day Party - Part II!

Wednesday, October 14, 2009










Hi again! I'm back to add more photos that were taken during the fun time that was being had for Hanz's Birthday Party! We have enjoyed Hanz so much! He is smart and cute and great company! I was glad that Hanz's guests made it to the party, as it was raining pretty hard out toward the island, where his guests were coming from! This was the first "puppy party" that we had either given or been to and we had lots of fun with it too! Picked up a few party favors @ Party City a few weeks ago @ very reasonable prices! A plastic table cloth with puppies all over it and little paw prints! A few balloons, paper plates and napkins (w/the same designs) and some goody bags for the guests that had little surprises from Petsmart!

There was one point during the party that Penny wore her party hat on her butty butt butt! Greg cut a hole out for her tail and she sported the hat that way for a bit, ha, ha! I'd like to keep up w/keeping the house clean, so we can have people over more often! I enjoyed having my family come by and of course since it's Hanz's home too - he can have his cousins over whenever he wants!

I got a photo of Hanz w/one of his new favorite toys - the moose that mommie brought him from the Colorado airport! It's just the right size for Hanz to grab in his mouth while we chase him 'round and 'round!

The guests all behaved well and actually, it was the Birthday Boy that decided he was going to do his business wherever he wished! No biggie - it was his party after all! I'm sure Penny and Hula will find their way to our place some time during the holiday season! I guess that is enough partying for now! Mark needs to change my dressing and then we're off to bed! Good night all!

Cyndi
