Family update

Thought this picture was appropriate - it is what I feel like all day!

There is so much going on lately -- I figured it was easier just to list all the things to save time !!!

Bryce finally went to the Dr. for his stomach issues. Many of you know he was "diagnosed" (whatever that means in the military) with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Its been getting worse and he's wasting away to nothing - he really has trouble gaining weight and has serious malnutrition. He went to a GI Dr, they did an endoscopy (camera down his throat) and a colonoscopy (a camera up the other end). They found a pre-cancerous polyp!! He's only 27 years old !! They removed it, and also said his small intestine is damaged. His blood results were odd, so they forwarded him to a hematologist. They tested for some things, all came back ok, but she is concerned about his low WBC's. He got tested again today and they didn't raise much, by 0.1 I think, so she wants him back in another 2 weeks to test them again. If they're still low, or lower then she wants to test his Bone Marrow. You know men, when they go to the Dr. they don't listen to the details, so he has no clue what she's looking for because he didn't ask (URGH!!!) but I'm guessing cancer??? We'll let you know...

Katie has salmonella poisoning! They don't know where she got it from but she's on Antibiotics now. They also want me to check the other girls which means I have to gather .... ummmm.... #2 samples from them to test (so MUCH fun!!!) Ugh... I'll do it though, I guess it can be serious. She just cut her first 2 teeth !! I'll post a picture soon when I figure out how :)

We are planning on moving. I guess they're building a cement factory about a block away (its over 1000 acres!) and Cement factories spew out all kinds of toxins into the air, including mercury. Bad ju-ju for our babies, so we're planning a move. I guess they have halted building it because construction is way slow down here, so thankfully we don't have to rush. Its just stressful... we need good work history and since I just lost my job, I have to hurry and get one so I can have at least 6 months of work history to apply for another home loan. Plus, we have to attempt to sell our house in this horrible market... Ugh. I'm not worrying about it now, because there's AnnMarie and Bryce to think about.. plus the job situation, etc. But I'll let you know when things start moving on this front.
