I Know

I know that everyone is disappointed that I haven't blogged lately. I know you have all been waiting at your computer for my update, so here you go. We had a great Spring Break last week. We made a last minute decision to go to Casper Wyoming to visit Trevor's parents. It was a nice break! Ryan was still not feeling well, in fact we had to drain a boil he had on his arm- it just got too big. It looks better now and the one on his foot is going away on it's own. I took him in to the MD today and he diffidently has croup and ear infections. He also has a couple of abscesses in his throat so he has had a hard time eating. He is down to 33 lbs. and just wants me to hold him (day and night). His rash is all over his chest and has had a lot of chest pain but his lungs sound good so we think the inflammation is localized to his plural lining. Ouch! We are starting another steroid and antibiotics today along with more breathing treatments. Hopefully he will be feeling better in the next couple of days! Tyler and Davin are starting swimming lessons today- I don't have a camera anymore so I will post pictures once we get one that works! Hope everyone is well. Enjoy the spring- Jen

Fundrasing Garage Sale

We decided to do a fundraising garage sale for the boy's TRAPS disease on Saturday May 2nd. I hope that we can bring some awareness to their condition. We are going to use 100% of the proceeds to help cover the cost of plane tickets to the NIH and if there is money left over to cover their medications which runs $1300 a month. The good thing about the NIH is once they are in the program 100% of their TRAPS medications will be covered. We will just cover the costs of their local medical care & surgeries. Yeah! Thanks to the ward, we were able to bring home the left-over household items from our last ward activity that we will use to sell. My parents are also letting us "de-junk" their basement to donate items for the garage sale. If anyone has anything they would like to donate or need help de-junking just let me know. If I could just get help getting the word out that would be awesome! Thanks

Arrow of Light

Last week Tyler was awarded his Arrow of Light. We are so proud of him and how hard he has worked. Way to go Tyler! We love you.

A couple of weeks ago, the boys were felling well at the same time so we did our monthly "cooking club" they had a blast making Scottish Scones and Irish Stew- you know I have to get my Viking heritage in there somewhere (Aut Pax Aut Bellum- Clan Gunn)
