Back to school!

So yesterday was a fun day. Not a "hey let's go to adventureland fun". Nope. A gee going to the doctor is so fun-fun. That is what I spent my day "off" doing. I had to take Mason to the pulmonolgist (Mom put the dictionary away- it is a lung doctor). He had to get tested to see if he had exersize induced asthma. The test wasn't that easy. He had to climb stairs for 7 minutes straight. He was pretty tired. His tests came back poor so they had to give him a breathing treatment. They gave us an inhalor to use when he plays basketball. Beyond that his lungs are great- chest xrays were fine etc. Praise the Lord.

Now on to Jayde. I made the mistake (ahem I mean an appointment) for her to have a well child visit before school. I think it is like taking your car in for an oil change- you think everything is hunky dory but then they say hey your engine is falling off. Jadye's doctor checked her over and found that her thyroid is rather large and she was pretty concerned about it. They sent us the next day to get an ultrasound on her throat. She thought that was pretty cool. What she didn't like is that she needed two booster shots and had to get blood drawn. She is pretty strong when she resists :)

FYI Jayde is now 55 1/2 inches tall. And yes- she is still seven years old :)

All of that got us ready for school at least. The kids are down to their final days of summer. SWEET :) They are so excited about school. Jayden had her open house at her new school today and met her teacher etc. That was great. Mason has a back to school swimming party tomorrow and has a friend sleeping over tomorrow night. Too fun. Saturday is off to Adventureland (thanks again Principal) I am excited about that one.

I will keep you posted on how the first day of school goes :) God Bless
