Another Trip To The ER...

Kacie woke up around 3:00 am with really bad muscle twitches.  She came into our room about 4;00 am and Scott gave her half a Valium and that didn't work so he gave the other half 30 minutes later.  Finally about 6:00 am Mom and I took her to the ER in Fruitland.  At first they thought her electrolytes were out of balance but they came back okay so then they thought she was having a reaction to one of her medications.  I left them at the hospital at 9:00 to open the office and do a couple of loans because Stacie had to take Taylor to Portland for an eye exam.  Mom brought Kacie to the office around 10:30 and she slept in the back until Scott came at noon to go with us to see her kidney doctor...Dr. Jenkins.  He said it couldn't be a reaction to the Prograf because he has never seen this reaction in over 20 years.  He said there is a type of diarrhea that can cause seizures so he gave a cup to get a sample but then that stopped.  He also said if she stopped one of her medications cold turkey that can cause it but she swears she hasn't done that either.  We are just all hoping it was a fluky thing maybe from lack of sleep.  He said no more sleepovers for a while and if it happens again he would refer us to a neurologist.  Once the twitches stopped at the ER she pretty much slept non stop except to walk into Dr. Jenkins office and she swears she has no memory from the whole day which is so crazy because she would even talk to us at times.  She remembers a few things like dropping her urine sample at the ER but for the most part can't remember eating at Jimmy Johns or why we had to go to Boise.  We got home around 5:00 and she slept through the whole night.  We are all praying it doesn't happen again...what a day!

Gym, Brady's Cake & Roaring Springs...

Saturday June 25 when I went to the gym in Vale there was only one other person there with me which was nice.  The gym has become my sanity.  I love feeling stronger and it has definitely helped me fight off depression.



Sunday June 26th Brady earned another cake by memorizing all 13 Articles of Faith.  I believe this is his third cake...so proud of him!
Monday June 27th I took Brady and Lea to Roaring Springs.  We got there about 11:30 and it was already pretty crowded.  We stayed until about 6:00.  I was so proud of Brady because he was willing to try some of the black tubed rides that he has always been afraid of because they are dark.  Well he ended up loving them so much he even went by himself when Lea wanted to do something else and I just wanted to relax in the shade.






I think we just about went on every ride.  Brady worked hard and earned his ticket from the school by reading 800 minutes.  It was a lot of fun, but I got fried which was surprising because I even put on sunscreen.  I don't think I have ever been that sunburned...:(

Kacie's Girls Camp...

I was so proud of Kacie willing to go to girl's camp this year since she was so sick with that CDiff.  She said she had a great time and I know she loves her leaders...Tiffany is awesome!

 I can't believe this is Kacie and Jocelyn's last girl's camp...sniff, sniff!

Lindsay's Birthday & Father's Day...

We made it to Lindsay's party around 5:00 but luckily they were still eating a yummy roast beef dinner.  We provided a yummy apple pie.  It is always fun when we get together.  Nanette was so nice to bring Brandon with her.  He unfortunately was pretty agitated and so I was constantly having to take him outside because he would get so loud and start cussing horribly.  It was kind of hard to visit everyone and I had to miss Lindsay blowing out her candles because they didn't want Brandon cussing on the video, but Kacie took a couple of pictures.



Pretty hard to get a good picture when he acts this way, but I wanted something with Scott since it was Father's Day.



Can't believe this girl is eight years old...such a cutie!!!



Our attempt at a selfie...haha!
The next day Brandon's home called and said they were going to try adding another medication for break through days like today.  They said he seems to do good for about two weeks and then has some bad days so they are hoping this new medication helps.  I sure hope so because the last time we had him home he was very pleasant.

Utah...(June 12-19)

Kacie and Brady went with Mom to Utah to help watch Rosie's boys while her and Mckinley go to girl's camp. They left after church on Sunday the 12th and stayed the week. We left early Friday morning the 17th to surprise Brady and take him to Lagoon. We also surprised Kacie by bringing Jocelyn with us. They were both pretty surprised and shocked.


Mom said Kacie was great to help entertain the boys.  They put puzzles together, swam, went to the park, colored and lots more.











After we arrived Friday we all went to see "Finding Dory" 
It was a super cute movie!
On our way to the Lagoon...Brady was so excited!





We would split up at times because Brady didn't want to ride Canibal.  
When I had him we rode Spider and Wild Mouse.

It was a pretty hot day so Scott was happy to ride the Odyssey with Brady so they could cool off.  While they rode I got to visit with Pam for a little bit and Jocelyn and Kacie were able to see Allison.
Gearing up to ride the Skycoaster...I couldn't believe Kacie did it! But she loved it!



We all loved Canibal except for Brady....such a fun ride!
After our fun-filled day we stayed at a hotel in Layton so we could get a early start home on Sunday to spend with family for Lindsay's birthday and father's day.
Heading home Sunday...
