A Very Busy & Fun Day!

i'll start with friday's news. on friday, jordan actually went to school. i changed his dr. appt. to friday instead of monday, so he went to school till about 11:00. he had alot of fun and his classmates were VERY excited to see him. they actually ran up to him and said "jordan your back" and he said they all gave him hugs, but not his teacher. :) he said it was very squishy! when we went to the dr.s, i had a list of questions for him. i wanted a urine test done at the lab, the blood test for dr. streeter, asked him about the ib prophen again, and asked about seeing a kidney specialist. well, he agreed to the urine test at the lab and after giving me a hard time, he also agreed to do the blood test. he informed me that my insurance probably won't cover it (i think it will, he was just trying to get me to not have it done), he also agreed to call the kidney specialist and talk to them about jordan. we did our normal shopping and out to eat on friday evening and everything went well, until we sat down to eat. jordan all of a sudden couldn't walk. he made grammy carry him out to the van when we were done and he had to ride up front since he can't climb out back if he can't walk. he was in severe pain for the rest of the night. we got home and i carried him upstairs and sat him in the shower (we have a shower chair we are borrowing). his legs were once again VERY swollen. after he was done, i had the girls go in and give him a kiss goodnight, kaylee kissed him and said "i make jordan all better?" she knows we kiss her booboos to make her all better, so she thought it would work for jordan's legs. how sweet is she? :) when i got home, i had a message from the dr.s office.

this morning started out with a call to the dr.s office to find out the new info he had for me. basically it was just to tell me that he got in contact with the kidney specialist who said as of right now he does not need a specialist, but they will check his urine every 2 weeks and i am to look for blood in his urine. so, that is it for now.

after, i took the 3 younger kids and dropped them off at grammy's while toya and i went to clean the church. when we got there, one of toya's classmates was helping her mom clean too, so they got to play for a little bit. when we left, i offered to take her friend with us as we had some fun things planned. her mom said she could come, so that is who you will see in all of the pictures from today.

after we left the church, we went to pick up the younger 3 and grammy. we then headed down town and to a local firestation where they were having a open house and lots of things for the kids. they gave out hotdogs, popcorn, cookies, and drinks. the kids also got to tour sit in the firetruck and get their faces painted, then they made bracelets. they had alot of fun. here are some pics and a slideshow:

kelsey loved sparky and kept finding him to give him hugs :)



after they were done at the firestation, we headed to a local bowling alley where they were having a kids day too. everyone got one free game of bowling and free shoe rentals. they also got to color a picture and when they turned it in, they got a certificate for another free game of bowling at a later date. they were doing face painting and finger painting there as well as raffles. we didn't do any of that, we just let them color and then played a game of bowling. there were quit a few people there, so we had to put our name on a waiting list to wait for a lane to open up. while we were waiting, jordan started getting the severe stomache cramps they were hoping he would not get. he was miserable off and on as his stomache would cramp up. the kids all enjoyed bowling. we haven't done it in a year. the twins LOVED it at first and every time someone would take their turn, the girls would clap and cheer and then give you high fives! it was actually quit funny. i went to get a pitcher of soda (figured the carbonated stuff would make jordan feel better), and a pitcher of water. i also got a large order of curly fries. jordan started to feel a little better, so i think it worked a little bit. here are some pics and a slideshow of the kids bowling:

after we left, there was a bounce house outside, so the kids went in for a few minutes. we headed back to church and dropped abby off. we then went apple picking. we weren' there very long, but the kids had a blast doing that. kelsey kept pulling hte apples off and falling when she did, of course when i got the camera out to video it, she didn't do it again. :) so, here are some pics and a video of them apple picking (kinda long):

I have been out of town and out of your loop... I am very sad to read about Jordan and this terrible problem. I will keep him in my prayers that it will all resolve very soon! My heart goes out to all of you!

Wow - what a busy day we had. What fun we had! The bag of apples weighed in at 21 lbs. As much as those kids enjoy apples - its amazing they are not all gone! Thanks for letting grammy be a part of your family. Love Mom
