Keegan's Birthday

Keegan's birthday was Monday the 18th. Oh was he excited! Fan day all around. Mrs. Rossi made him a fan birthday card. He thought that was really cool. His favorite food is strawberries

and oddly enough with the weather, we had fresh strawberries available at the store for a strawberry cake.

HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY KEEGAN!!!!

(And yes, his top two teeth are missing, the tooth fairy came about 2 weeks ago.

Isn't it cute?)

October 5

Well....last week is......well over. Kate went in with her hand swelling thing like 2 weeks ago and they said it was a staph infection, Mike and I were kind of surprised by this but, OK. She took her medicine and it started going away then that following Sunday she got up with her foot swollen. Mike to her back in that very morning because she was still on the medication. They said come back for lab in the morning, we are checking for Lyme disease and Arthritis. So the next morning Kate went in and she said we will have results in a day or two. So we anxiously waited and I called Tuesday just to check, but nothing. Then we called Thursday, they said they'd check and call us back. Nothing. Nothing on Friday. Saturday Kate's toes were swollen. That never got bad, and gradually went down. Mike called yesterday and she promised a phone call from the nurse yesterday, but no. Finally today she called and said everything came back negative. Thank goodness! If it shows up again she is going to a different doctor.

So, some fun for Kylene right now, she started driver's ed. She's excited. I'm happy for her. But a teen driver, ummm not so much. She'll be our first driver, so I'm more nervous than she is.Hahahaha.

Keegan went in to see his neurologist Friday. This went better than I expected. Keegan doesn't do well at doctors appt. But like I said this one went well. He said Keegan would benefit from braces on his lower legs, his CP has caused him to be a toe walker. So were checking on that. But, he said he was very pleased with Keegan's overall development. Yay, Keegan!

Other than that.....life as usual around here. The weather has changed the last couple of days, a little rainy and dark. Just a hint the seasons are changing...... seen geese migrating this morning.

Keegan's birthday is a little over a week from now and then the holidays and more birthdays start. Can we all say FUN?

2010 Oakendell Pro-Am Charity Tournament

Mike played in the Oakendell Pro-Am Charity Tournament today. It was an all day event, so he really enjoyed his little get away. He did complain that the guys made him eat his veggie's at the luncheon. (He said he did??) He had a great day and played really well. He won 3 bottles of some expensive wine (? we don't drink LOL ?) And he won a weekend getaway for 2 (not 14...so it does us no good LOL) to Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno with a two-some to play 18 course holes at Eagle Valley East/West course. Pretty cool. I'm glad he had such a fun time......

September 21

This was a great day for Kurtis, not such a great day for Kate.

Kate came to me this morning and said "My hand is swollen and itches".

There was nothing obvious. So Mike and I decided to just take her in to have it looked at. So we gave her some Benadryl and off they went. Two different doctors looked at it at the office and said it was probably a staph infection. So she got a prescription and lucky for her no chores until this weekend. But then again she can't play Halo Reach on her new XBOX either.

Now the good news is.........Kurtis read to me today. Yep, that's right. Ahhhh, another proud moment for mom. He was so excited.(I was too). :)

♥Kody♥

Yesterday we went to court to finalize Kody's adoption.

It's official, he is one of us now....and forever!

Kassadie Update

Kassadie has done very well with her rehab therapy. She had a doctors appointment and they said she was doing excellent. She was going to O/T & P/T every Tuesday and Thursday and now they said 6 times a year. Yahoo!! Isn't that great?? She walks without her brace and they think she will be a lefty for life. But we work her fine motor skills everyday at home just to keep building those muscles up. Anyways, thought I would share since we are sooo very proud.

August 21st

Not much exciting is going on here.............just some random things.

Kassadie had a cardiology appointment this week, it went well. They plan to do another catheter in November or December.( To check her lung pressure. )To see if she is ready for surgery.

The kids are still working hard at school. And last but not least...........yesterday was our 22nd wedding anniversary. Mike and I agreed that it's been a very good 22 years!
