Okay...I am ready for some good news!

Our family has had a lot of health 'issues' come up recently. First our nephew Jayce has been having some troubles and has been sick off and on for months with a horrible cough, cold, etc. After having regular doctor appointments and being on different nebulizer treatments, he is now going to Denver this Friday to visit with a pediatric pulmonologist to see if they can help him out.

Then last week on Wednesday Carter had his surgery and it went well. Our niece Maddi who is Kaitlin's age had her tonsils and adenoids out. She however isn't recovering well. She ended up in surgery again early Sunday morning in Scottsbluff due to too much bleeding. After that surgery, she went back home to recover once again. Then she got a fever for awhile and has been bleeding off and on since. Now she will be going back to the doctor tomorrow if this continues. She was going to go today but due to the bad roads, they are waiting. I feel so bad for her. She has lost ten pounds and is only awake for spurts at a time because of all the pain she is in. :(

Yesterday Kaitlin passed out at school. Luckily she was with her teacher who helped catch her fall. I immediately went up and got her and brought her home. Then she went to see Dr. Pelton later on and he did a complete check-up on her. He tested her for mono and that came back negative. We discussed the concerns of how tired she has been the past few months and then he listened to her heart. He said she has a heart murmur with a split 2. He set up an appointment to see a pediatric cardiologist. Kait's appointment is in Rapid on Tuesday morning.

So, with these four kids seeing specialists or having surgery, please keep them all in your prayers. We are wishing the best of course for every one's appointments to go well and for Maddi to start healing properly. She has had a very rough week!!
