Mayo

This is the 4th trip to Rochester Minnesota to the Mayo clinic. This trip is all about surgeries and tests. Jayden and I drove up on Tuesday evening and got to our hotel late. Jayden had to do a miralax prep so she had to drink 64 oz of gatorade mix. After breakfast she could only have clear liquids.  Wednesday morning she had to continue with fasting. She went back at 8:30 and prep took about an hour. She had at least 8 people between nurses, anesthesiology, and doctor. She felt like something out of Grey's Anatomy.  We laughed as the surgeon came in and was a young Asian lady, she reminded us so much of Dr. Yang, one of the main characters on Grey's. Jayden was prepped for her surgery, a scope including a colonoscopy and an esophageal scope. She had never experienced anesthesia other than wisdom teeth and this was all new for her. It was a lot of waiting and by 2:00 we were out of the clinic and both starving. Jayden wanted to order everything. I didn't think it was the greatest idea, but I told her to eat slow and small bites. She had Perkins on her mind all day and that is where we went. She had eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, pancakes, and a chocolate and peanut butter cupcake. She ate almost every bite!

The next day she had  had a CT scan and MRI. It was a long day of waiting. Each trip to May reminds me to be thankful for good health.

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.
