Doctor Doctor

 I took Jake to the doctor for strep throat again!! His throat looked terrible so I figured it was. 3 times in 3 months, surely he will have to have them taken out. Now his doctor is saying, “if he gets it one more time…” Jayden, Jacob, and I went from Jake’s doctor appointment, to mine I had scheduled in Boone. My appointment was not one that could easily be rescheduled and Jake wasn't feeling too lousy. The kids waited in the cafeteria with a snack. There was more serious happenings going on at the ER in Ames that I did not know about until I got done with my appointment. My mother had a very painful infected finger yesterday. I tried to get her to have it looked at then. She knew it was bad and needed looked at, but she had no idea how bad. She called to tell me she was going into surgery. The doctors had to lance her finger thinking it was a blood poisoning. I took the kids home, then headed back into Ames. I just didn't feel right not being there with my Dad and seeing how things turned out for Mom. I walked into my moms room as they were wheeling her in. My Dad was still in the waiting room. Mom woke up right away and told me all the details. Their pastor stopped in moments after. One of the CDC doctors answered some questions for us too. After having something to eat with Dad, I headed home. Later we discovered it was a staph and strep infection. Both very serious. Praise the Lord Mom did not wait any longer and the infection did not spread any farther. She will have to stay in the hospital up to 3 days for I.V. antibiotics.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
