Life is busy
I have so much to blog about and so little time to do it.
Zack's track is keeping us busy you can also keep up to date with that at his blog Zack's Journey.
Anna had an excellent soccer game last night and scored 3 goals which she tells me is called a "hat trick". We weren't able to be at her game because we were at an awards dinner at school for her and Zack were she got an award for being a scholar athlete. She also got pulled up to varsity for a game on Monday night. She has been a very busy girl also.
Kaylyn will have her last track meet tonight if the weather allows. She is throwing 29' 9" and pole vaulting 5'9". Her goal for the year is 30' and 6' so hopefully tonight won't be canceled and she will have a great night.
Libby has not had hives since Saturday so we are hopeful that we have seen the last of them for this bout of them. Once she has been hive free for 2 weeks we will start weening her off her medicine again. Hopefully we can get her off them for a month and tested before another episode of hives. Maybe I should enforce a rule of no eating new food for awhile. Not a bad thought...
I got a new camera out of necessity for a Mother's Day/Birthday/Anniversary gift. Mine died right after Zack's regional meet. It was already having some issues so it was only a matter of time before we would have to replace it but with Prom and State track meets coming up there was no waiting.
So here are some random pictures from me playing with my new toy and then I had to include one Prom picture. When exactly did he grow up?
Libby
(Little explanation... my new camera has a feature that it can detect when someone smiles and then snaps the picture on it's own so I told Libby to smile and I guess she thought it had to be a really exaggerated smile. LOL!)
Last but not least here is a picture that is getting a lot of feedback of Zack and his friend Stephen taken before Prom. They are in track and choir together. Funny picture! Mark took it with his camera. Thank goodness because I missed it wile trying to figure out the new camera. There is a bit of a learning curve with it. Wink!

They're back
We thought we were going to get answers to the mystery hives soon. They have been gone for a long time and she has been off all medication for a month or so and then last night they decided to make an uninvited visit.
I sent her to school today medicated. She took more medicine right before leaving school and I got a call from the bus driver asking me to meet her because the hives were getting worse quickly. I called the allergist and they have put her back on allergy medication and told me to double the Benadryl. If we aren't seeing an improvement by Thursday I need to call them. And if, heaven forbid, she gets worse tonight instead of better on the stronger medicine we need to take her to the ER. Just so happens Kaylyn needs to get allergy shots at the allergists office Thursday so Libby is coming along this time. That why I can let them see her and decide if they are comfortable with how she is doing.


Please pray for her. She is very uncomfortable right now. If you can see in the picture half of her top lip is swollen. The hives are always random on her as far as where all they show up.
I am sure you are wondering what caused it this time... so are we. As far as I can tell it might be another powder mix. The allergist felt with the seasoning packet the first time that it might be a preservative and since Libby had a drink made from a powdered mix last night right before she broke out it makes sense that it might be just that.
