4th of July

I hope all of you had a wonderful/safe 4th of July weekend. I had to work, as usual, so Jereomy and the kids went to his cousin Jeannie's house for a cookout/pool party. They all had an amazing time. They swam, ate great food, and watched an enormous amount of fireworks!! Unfortunately my inlaws weren't there because my MIL had to be placed in the hospital for respiratory distress. She suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and has been sick for sometime and took a turn for the worst. They transfered her to CCU on Sunday morning where she has continued to make improvements. She is scheduled to have a lung biopsy in the morning and those results will determine further plans for her care. Please lift her up in prayer! And Happy "belated" Independence Day!

Test Results

We took Chanley to ACH on June 24th for an renal ultrasound and VCUG (xray with fluro contrast). This was a not so fun to say the least experience. They attempted three different times to catheterize her before it was finally successful. She was strapped to a board with her arms up next to her head and fought with all her tiny might. It took three nurses/techs plus myself to hold her still. Once the catheter was in and the contrast had filled her bladder, they removed the catheter and watched her bladder empty to check for any reflux into her kidneys. Yes the experience was traumatic for she and I both but the results were wonderful. No reflux noted!! So hopefully she will never have to endure this procedure again. God is good!
