LP

Kael had a backpoke first thing Monday morning. Things didn't go so well during the procedure. He started throwing up while he was completely sedated. He has never had this reaction in the 3 years he has had them. The Dr. was very concerned and stayed with us for a while just to make sure he was okay. He continued to throw up the whole ride home and complained of his arms hurting. When we got home I called back down to see if I could get some anti-nausea meds for the night. When the Dr. heard he was still not feeling well she told us to take him in to the ER. They gave him some anti-nausea meds, x-rays, blood cultures/labs, and started him on IV fluids. He perked up a little so we came home. His white counts were elevated and this concerned the ER Dr. I talked with Primary's again and they want more labs done this week. They think the high white counts were from all the throwing up. Hope so!!

Matti earned herself 50 AR points ( I know, its the end of the year and she only has 50 . . . her teacher doesn't require it, therefore, mom doesn't push the issue. She is a great reader and always seems to be reading but never takes the tests). She has begged to get her ears pierced the past few months so I told her she had to get at least 50 points before I would let her. She hopes we have time this week to go get it done!!

It's shaping up to be a busy week around here. Parent Teacher conferences are tomorrow so we will see how Kael tested and how behind he is for his two month absence. Keeping our fingers crossed!!

. . . I almost forgot!! I became a chicken farmer this week. We went to see Aunt Merr at work and Trey talked me into getting chicks. I wanted to try raising some this year, just don't have a place built to put them. Anyway, we left with 5 chicks. Trey has named two of them. Pumpkin and Duck. They all look the same so don't know which is which but he claims he does. So far I have managed to keep them all alive. The dog seems extremely interested so I hope we can keep them all around:)
