What a beautiful, memorable and relaxing trip! We stayed with my brother and sister and their families at a little vacation cottage in Michigan from Wednesday night through Saturday afternoon. I loved not having an agenda and being able to take a nap between trips to the beach and trips to town. We would go to the beach for about 3 hours then I rested before going into town to do some site seeing.
We watched the sun set both Thursday and Friday nights over Lake Michigan and it was breath taking and beautiful. On Thursday night, we watched the sunset from the light house at South Haven, Michigan and Friday night from St Joseph. I think between the two I liked South Haven a bit better but both are neat towns.
The kids enjoyed playing with their cousins a lot. I'd have to say it was a wonderful relaxing time as a family. I even got to enjoy building a small sandcastle at the beach and guard it till I was done to keep my 2 year old nephew from wanting to smash it right away. :) It was fun watching the kids play and run in the sand. It was Kailey and Matthew's first time to a beach and they LOVED it! The kids would get into the water and venture out little by little, working up the courage to dive in. And it didn't take too long and they were diving in and picking up rocks and shells off of the the bottom of the lake.
Lunches were always a bit interesting trying to keep them from touching any sand so they could eat their cheese and crackers, chip, cookies, fruit...without getting some sand in with a bite. They were never too interested in having to stop to eat anyway.
I loved letting the waves rippling to the shoreline and hit my feet, writing our family's name in the sand, and feeling the warmth of the sun embracing my cold body. Yes, I was chilled, even at the beach.
Our family made lots of cherished memories this week and I am so blessed I was able to be a part of it with them. Many thanks to my brother and sister and their families for making it all possible.
I have a doctor appointment with the specialist in Chicago on Tuesday regarding setting up the biopsy surgery. I will try and update on Tuesday or Wednesday with the information on it.
God is so good and I am so thankful for all of HIS many blessing. I treasure the small things things in life. I challenge you to one day this week to sit back and watch the sunset and maybe even eat an ice cream cone for me while you do it:)

Slow down Summer! :)
Wow! Don't know if it is just me, but the summer is flying by QUICKLY! Kids will be back in school here before too long. Just the thought makes my heart drop. I am enjoying the summer with them as much as I am able to this year! We are trying to keep the house clean. They are just about finished memorizing 100 scriptures in the Bible and yea they are more than just 'Jesus wept.' ;)
The library program has been wonderful. On Friday, the kids got to eat lunch with some local farmers. They really enjoyed that and got to sit in a tractor and combine afterwards. They have all met their goal but are continuing to read til the programs over next week. After that, it will be back to read at least 15 minutes a day.
I am still overwhelmed with the benefit that was done. Each day brings a new card in the mail box. Some with monetary gifts, others with well wishes, and what a treasure that is! I'm blown away by how many people donated, golfed, gave for the auction, came to the dinner, and the list goes on to help us. I know that a lot were doing it in memory of Jay which is commendable. The committee that put this together along with Jay's wife, Donna, have worked hard to put this together!! Along with Matthew's school teacher. Thank you to everyone!
I had an interesting Wednesday last week. Went to the Chiropractor and sometimes I get a massage first, sometimes it's the adjustment. Well, I opted for the message first and I went to change into the gown and lo and behold I notice that my G-tube to my stomach is completely out. No good!!! The girl came and I explained what happened. I asked for a quick massage and she got me in for a quick adjustment. Called the GI Dr in Moline and talked with his nurse. They scheduled to put it in at 2, so she wanted me there at 1:30. That gave me enough time to get clothes laid out for church and lunch made for kiddos. By that time the babysitter came, the timing was perfect. I got there, sat down, and they called me back. Tried an IV in my hand since they didn't have heparin to flush my port, and I didn't want to risk it clotting off but the IV blew and killed like crazy going in. She tried once more and it slid right in and felt much better going in then the first one. By that time it was shortly after 2 and they took me back. They gave me a bite block to hold on in my mouth since they used a scope to help put it in and some sleepy medicine to drift off to my dreamland vacation. Well, as soon as she put that medication through...wowzers! My arm felt like it was on fire and the vein burned like crazy. I took the bite block out and told her so she diluted it more. She kept telling me I'd go to sleep soon so keep the bite block in my mouth before I went out. I was trying to explain that when I break out in hives that is one of my signs I get is the burning thru the vein, but fast to sleep I went. I woke up being fine and was out the door and home by 4:30. I did wake up to a faint rash all over and some itching so I did do benedryl just to be safe. :) I guess I like to keep people on their toes:) The plan is to now change the G-tube out every 3-4 months so this doesn't happen.
Hope to have a quiet and relaxing week. Not much on the platter for this week besides doing bloodwork. Hope to hear from Wisconsin regarding an appointment this week.
On August 7th, I go to Chicago for a consult and hope to set a date with the Specialist for the biopsy. The GI Dr there may try to see me the same day as well so I am not having to make another trip there. That would be wonderful!
Time to stop for the night and try to get a bit of rest before the morning comes. God has been so good to me and I can't thank Him enough for His many blessings upon my life. The strength and peace HE gives and HIS faithfulness to me!

Blessed
Wow! My heart is overwhelmed by God's blessings-both great and small! The benefit has been above and beyond what I had expected! People coming for the dinner, the auction, the wonderful hard working committee, the baked goods, the items donated for silent auction, sponsors for the holes and/or shirts. The mail has been having a few cards from those that were not able to come due to other commitments or obligations with a monetary gift. GOD IS GOOD!!!! The cards with the wording inside is touching enough!! Like I said to some that were at the dinner, it is a blessing to me more than money just to see the support from the community. God has blessed me with a small and caring community and I am thankful. I'll try to see if I can post a few pictures in a few days, but if not, the website of the benefit will have them up and going as a slide show. Thank you everyone for your support, love, and prayers for not just myself but my husband and kiddos.
I'm hanging in there from the busy weekend. I can say for sure I am worn out and trying to recover and get some much needed rest. I am still fighting severe muscle cramps along with bone pain that hurts terribly-which I have had before. Madison, WI is saying that I should have my Dr appointment scheduled by the latest-Friday. They said today that the Dr. is reviewing my chart right now.
Chicago also called regarding the biopsy surgery. I am to see the specialist/surgeon on August 14. She will then schedule it while I am there hopefully. I have been waiting for this to be done since I was there in the hospital in December. It's been talked and discussed and hanging over my head and I am ready when they are to get the show on the road and get it over. I honestly was thinking it would be done before the benefit but it didn't happen-maybe there's a reason. Just wanted it done before kiddos started school up but it would only be a week away after August 14. God cares and understands and I know whatever the timing of it, it will all work out. I have placed it in the hands of the Lord. That is where I want my life to be always. HE means more to me than I could ever put in words. I want to keep my life in HIS hands and let HIM do the work in my life that HE wants to. I want to be a vessel used by HIM and molded and made in HIS image. When people look at me, I want them to be able to say I see God in her. I do love HIM and never want to fail to give HIM all the glory and honor!
We have added 2 new friends to our home as of last Thursday-Flip and Flop. They are two albino frogs. I love watching them eat. They are fun and entertaining for the kids...and maybe Mom and Dad too. :)
Also, we have a peach tree out in our back yard. In June it was FULL of peaches that were growing and little by little the squirrels have been eating them clean. They are cute watching them eat the peach, but what theives they are!!! They can't stop eating them. In the past 2 weeks they have grown to be bigger and beautiful. The kids have been excited about picking them. :) Well today I looked at the peach tree and it looked pretty sad. Leaves were all full and green- but very few peaches throughout the tree. So... I thought I'd look over at the tree near by that has a squirel stand. What did I see with my eyes- a lot of peach seeds at the bottom of the trunk of the tree. The squirels have taken the peaches over to the tree and eating them. I thought I'd count and see how many were there-close to 50 seeds!!! I thought I'd go ahead with Kailey and pick the rest of the peaches on the peach tree so they didn't get anymore. We picked 15. Lesson learned-squirrels may be cute but watch out:) they are thieves.
I also was quickened in a spirtial lesson- satan is like a squirel and little by little robs us of things in our lives like-joy, peace, patience,love until we just have a little bit left. Reminds me of a children's song- read your BIBLE pray everyday and you'll grow, grow, grow. If you don't read your BIBLE and pray everyday then you'll shrink, shrink, shrink. Not physically, but spititually in your walk with God. I want grow in HIM.
I had a wonderful surprise on Friday afternoon while resting in my bedroom. My Mother in law, Aunt and 8 year old cousin came and surprised me -from Texas. They wanted to be here for the benefit. They came in on a train. Shane and Kelsey kept it a surprise from me. Thank you for coming! Lots of memories were made the 4 days you were here!
It has taken me a bit to get this typed between not feeling good and things but things could be much worse and so I should not complain. Last summer I was in and out of the hospital so much and unable to enjoy my kiddos. Each morning I am enjoying some sweet snuggle time and through out the day. I am blessed. :)

Visit to the ER
Hello! I received a phone call this morning from University of Chicago to say my labs from Tuesday showed that I was a bit dehydrated and that my potassium was low again. She had me do some liquid potassium into my j-tube and do a bag of IV fluids with my TPN going also. I also had to go to the ER for a check up since my heart was racing this morning. I would have just gone to my primary care doc, but he was out of town. Thank the Lord that the blood work showed everything is back on track though. Chicago is going to add more potassium into the TPN for a while to see if it levels out.
Just a bit worn out from the crazy day, so taking it easy tonight. As much as I can in this heat anyway!
Hope everyone is staying cool! It is hot out for sure and the humidity is no fun. We have had to wait each evening for the temp to drop just a bit so that the kids can go play outside and play in the sprinkler. The younger two especially can overheat so easily. They come in after being out for 10 minutes and are drenched in sweat. They keep busy doing stuff in the house all day, but watch out when that time comes for them to go out. It's a bee line for the back door. Ha!
Amazing that it is already July. Wow! Half the year is over and before long school will be starting. I am NOT ready for that to happen. I so enjoy the kids being here with me. Kailey is ready to go back, but I don't think Matthew misses it one bit. So thankful for my children! I am truly blessed from God with these joys in my life. I love them and so glad to be there Mama. MY heart melts. I love to hear them pray, sing, giggle,laugh, read, play (and play together):) Thank you Lord!

Update
Hello everyone! Sorry I don't update this as frequently as I would like. It has been a bit crazy around here since we have been home and trying to catch up on things. It's always good to get away but hard to get back into the daily routine once we are home.
I signed the kids up this week for the summer reading program. This is something that they look forward to every summer.
I did have a follow up appointment regarding the ER visit/hospital stay that I had over last weekend. I have been and continue to fight these severe muscle cramps/spasms. I feel like I am fighting my own body and they wear me out, especially when I am up till 2am-5am trying my best to sleep instead of jumping out of the bed when they are in my feet and legs. I am no going to see a specialist at the University of Wisconsin. They are working on getting me an appointment. Hopefully soon. They feel that it is something autoimmune. They are also working with another doctor regarding the full thickness biopsy. I think it will be sometime in July, but we'll see.
I have some awesome news some of you know about, some may not. I want to share with you my wonderful news! I was chosen to be this years recipient for the Jay Braida Memorial Benefit! If you live around the area, it is JULY 14. There is a golf outing, 50/50, silent auction, and dinner. If you have any questions at all, please email me or leave me a comment. If you go to www.jaybraidamemorialopen.com you can read a bit about it and there is also about 20 pictures that you can view as a slide show. They are of my beautiful family that I am so blessed with. The greatest husband and 3 beautiful, wonderful, miracles from God! I am so excited to have been chosen and it was a total surprise when I was told that I was the one. God knows our needs and cares about each and everyone of us! No matter what the need, HE is always there and is our Provider. I want to keep leaning on HIM and trusting in HIM. HE will see me through.
As I type this post, I hear the sound of thunder. Earlier tonight, it was raining with some marble size hail. The kids and I stood at the door as it began to rain and the scent of the rain was so refreshing. The rain is something we have been needing. Just as the we stood there at the door way, I couldn't help but think about the spiritual aspect of our lives. We are always in need of times of refreshing in our lives. Just relaxing in HIS presence and drawing close to HIM. What a wonderful feeling. May He rain upon our lives and fill us with HIS sweet presence.
Thank you for your love and prayers! They are very much appreciated! Good Night to all.

Almost Home
For the past few months, I've fought some severe muscle cramps, which keep getting worse little by little. I had extra bags of fluids with to see if extra IV fluid would help it. It made no difference and Chicago wanted me to go to get checked at a local hospital in Dallas to check blood work and electrolytes as well.
On Wednesday, I went to the doctor's office that my in-laws go to. I met with a very nice doctor who did 12 test and 7 units of blood. By the time 5 was being drawn, I was feeling it. Little did I know that I wouldn't get the results until yesterday (Friday). Results showed my Potasuim, B 12, Vitamin D were all low, and Anemia. I was told by both Chicago and Dallas to go to the ER. Well, we were in St. Louis at that time and I explained to them that I would wait and go to Dixon as soon as we got in.
Faxed the lab work from Dallas to my Primary doctor's nurse who then let Dixon ER know what was going on. Once I got to the ER and had blood drawn again, they said that my Potassium was 3.8, which is considered good. So now back to not sure what the muscle cramping is about. I did stay overnite at the hospital as they too were thinking it was nutritional. Everything this morning shows all labs are pretty good. I'm to follow up with my Dr and he can take it from there of why I'm dealing with them.

We left out from Dallas on Thursday morning and would have made it home Thursday night, but there was an accident on Interstate 40, between Little Rock and Memphis, which caused us to be stopped in traffic for 4 hours. We only moved about 10 miles in that 4 hours! And it was 102 degrees outside! Due to sitting in the heat and running the A/C, the vehicle began to get hot so we turned air off and rolled down windows and as long as we weren't parked next to a semi, there was a bit of a breeze. A lot of people would get out of their car and walk around and we got to meet a semi driver hauling cars on a trailer. Found out he lives in Chicago and his wife works as a RN at the University of Chicago hospital! What a small world!
So glad I was able to make the trip and have some "R&R". Enjoyed some crushed ice from Braums and slush from Bahama Bucks. YUMMMMMY! It was a good time and lots of wonderful memories. The kids enjoyed getting soaked at the spray ground. They also met some new friends at the park across the street from Mom and Dad Pennington's. And met some more at Chick Fil A! That was their favorite spot to eat, especially with the indoor playground. They also had fun playing with their cousins (and their new baby cousin).
Now, trying to get everything put away and the house back in order. With me being in the hospital last night after just getting home, Shane and the kids had put a lot of the clothes away. So not too much was left. Little by little, it's coming back together. I was able to get a good rest in while Shane and the kids left for a while this afternoon too.
Time for me to go to bed for the night, now that I can take my last meds for the evening. Thank you for all your prayers and checking in on me! Good night.

SURPRISE
It was very busy last week to say the least. On Wednesday, I had a Dr's appointment in Chicago for a follow up with the hematoma. It was my choice with the hematoma if I wanted it to be drained or let it just absorb into the body. I chose to have it drained. Since then it is doing much better and has gone down a lot just in the past few days. While I was in the waiting room that day, I met a sweet lady who has Gastroparesis. We exchanged information so we can keep in contact with each other.
My sister-in-law and I did a garage sale on Thursday and Friday. It was HOT and my body does not handle the heat well at all! It's nice to have extra IV fluids that I can have at home to fill me back up with some hydration.
On Saturday, I went to a family reunion. It was outside at a park and it was a beautiful day. It was just right, especially with the breeze. Enjoyed seeing everyone. The kids enjoyed the water balloons. It was fun watching the adults play games too.
On Monday, we left at 2 am for the Lone Star State. We drove straight through and did a BIG surprise of showing up at Shane's parents house. We shocked them both and they were so excited to see us. We were welcomed to Texas by 105 degree weather.:) Enjoying relaxing kicking back and taking it easy.(In the air conditioning)
Today, my baby turned 7. Times sure flies by quickly. It was 7 years ago today that I was in the hospital and had by this time a brown headed boy (which now is blonde). I love my little boy,my snuggle bug, and so glad we were blessed with a boy to carry on the family name. My prayer is that HE loves God with all his heart and falls in love with this Truth and serves the Lord all the days of his life.
And one year ago today I was in Cardiac ICU in Chicago. God is so good and I can't thank HIM enough for his blessings both great and small.
