Happenings

Not much going on except some beautiful weather. J is heading to Grandfather Mtn next week for the school field trip and the whole class seems to be excited. Either that or they're excited about school finishing up. D also has a big week coming up. He has cap and gown pics and beginners day for Kindergarten. He's very excited about going to Kindergarten but he's not as excited about the reading - we're going to have to work on that. AB has the easy route - nothing but being her cute little self. She had her first b-day party to attend today - Miss Abby turned 3. AB still has difficulties in crowds and children of her age. She gets scared and unsure of herself.

Brad and I are still plugging away at work and our house needs a major cleaning as well as the yard. We're in the last games for soccer so once that dies perhaps we can get some of the housework done.

Tarheel Nation

Ok - one of my co-workers got tickets from J and I to go see Tyler Hansbrough, Danny Green, and Bobby Frasor from the UNC Tarheels in the Carolina Barnstorming Tour at Appalachian State University. We got there an hour and half early and still did NOT get autographs. J was pretty upset about this as he was really expecting to get an autograph. But he told me the next day that he was really glad we went and he had a lot of fun. We also got some GREAT pictures!!!! We happened to get some great seats higher up but we got to go down and take pics and we were right behind them - it we both reached out our arms we would have shook hands. It was a lot of fun!!!! Thanks Kim!

Dr. Visit

We had some wonderful news from the heart specialist this past week with D. D has a lot of inconsistent PVC's but they are all coming from a benign area in the lower right chamber of the heart and it's not interfering with the function of his heart. This means that his heart is not overworking from the condition. From the holter, they also discovered that when D is active the condition or PVC's stop. Basically his heart overrides the "wayward" cells. The dr. doesn't expect the condition to ever go away but he doesn't anticipate that it will ever get worse. They're going to monitor just to be sure that it doesn't get worse, but we're told that it would be rare for it to worsen. In the meantime, D is free to be a normal child and do whatever he wants to within mom's limits.
