Bowers Farm

The other day Bower's Farm came up with the most ingenious idea. They had a barn garage sale during open barn hours. That meant that Jim and the kids could pet the farm animals while I shopped! It doesn't get much better than that. :)

Happy Father's Day

We spent Father's Day at my parents' lakehouse and for the record I think my dad did too much cooking to consider the day a net positive. But, we sure did have a fun day. The kids are finally at the age where they like boat rides and playing catch in the water. It looks like it is going to be a fun summer.

Getting Better...

Thank you for your prayers! The medication seems to be working. Grant is much more comfortable and complains only once every couple of days. We have a month of medication left and then it is off to U of M to find out why this fungus has returned.

Fungus part 2

Over the last two weeks Grant's tummy pain has gotten significantly worse. I took him to the pediatrician and pulmonolgist on Friday to see if they could offer any help. The consensus was to take Grant to U of M GI. His pediatrician wrote us a recommendation but the soonest they can get him in in Ann Arbor is August. So, we scheduled the appointment for August 5. In the meantime we got a prescription for the same antifungal medication that worked before. He's been on it three days and I'm already seeing significant improvement. He has a 45 day dose to wipe out any sign of the fungus. The concern is why his body continues to grow the fungus, if that is in fact what it is. The pulmonolgist also took him off the inhaled steroids now in case that is what is growing the fungus. Please continue to pray for total healing for my Grant.

The Zoo

We went to the zoo today for the first time in a year. We only ended up seeing a couple of animals because the kids really enjoyed the play structure near the entrance. As you can see Grant was in a silly mood.
