Another Update.

We had Kimber's party on Sunday. It was a lot of fun. We are so thankful for the friends and family that were able to celebrate with us.

Here are some of the pictures.






Friday night Kanyon started coughing and we didn't get much sleep. I decided to take him to the doctor on Saturday morning. I told the doctor that I thought he had croup. Right after I said that Kanyon coughed and the doctor said that I was correct. He also had fluid on his left ear. So, we started another round of antibiotics and steroids. Saturday evening I decided to bake Kimber's cake. I wanted to get it done so I would have plenty of time to decorate it on Sunday. While I was baking Charity called to tell me that they were taking Grandpa back to the hospital in an ambulance. As soon as Luke got home I headed to the hospital. Grandpa's hemoglobin level was a 6. It is supposed to be above 11. They decided to admit him and do an endoscopy Sunday morning. They found the source of his internal bleeding and cauterized it. They cauterized a few red spots just to be safe. They said that his blood thinner could cause anything to bleed. We are cautiously optimistic. If this was the source and they fixed it he will no longer need to see the oncologist for iron transfusions! YAY! He still has to see the lung specialist on Friday. He is boycotting the sleep study and we are going to let him. He has been through so much! Thanks for all of the prayers!

Sunday before the party my mom called to tell me that my cousin Nathan was in the ER. He had an accident a couple weeks ago that resulted in a shoulder injury. He knew he was going to have to have surgery, but it wasn't an emergency. Saturday night he started having trouble breathing. Early Sunday morning it got worse and he decided he needed to go the hospital. They ran a battery of tests and found blood clots on his lungs. They are keeping him for a week to thin his blood. He might have to be on blood thinner when he leaves the hospital. They are running tests to see if there is a reason he developed the blood clots or if they were caused by the accident. He is 28. Please say some prayers that he recovers quickly!


Thanks!
