Today is a huge milestone for the Bachtel family. It has been 1 year today that Marcus was brought home from the hospital. What a true blessing! Marcus has been on a roller coaster these past few weeks. He does really good then all of a sudden he gets real down and right now he is really down. Running a pretty high fever and having to have a treatment every two to three hours. So we are all very down and exhausted because nobody can tell us why he is running a fever and very junky.  Kevin and I just wish that for once things could be simple for our family. We would not trade Marcus for anything but it gets so exhausting taking care of him even though we have help it still  zaps all of your energy out of you. He has been doing really good with his therapy, he just keeps progressing. It is so awesome to see him reach a milestone.
