Kiki's update

well, sorry for the long delay...been a little crazy here. Her surgery was canceled at the door of the OR due to her frantic crying causing her to cough, which left potential open for an asthmatic episode and possible onset of pneumonia following the procedure.

We are rescheduled for 530 am Monday June 23rd....two days from now. Needless to say I am a little stressed out. She is doing well, and honestly I was glad they canceled it because the following day, we took the kids to dinner and a movie (yes, we do that once in a LONG while) and she fell asleep at the restaurant and then she was sleeping in the movie, unless she felt me move....all the while, we get her home only to find out that our precious little one has an unexplained fever of 103! I took her to her pediatrician the next morning, only to hear the usual, "it's probably the flu or a virus, we've seen a lot of that lately" which in normal English means..." I have no idea what's causing this, so just load her up on Motrin and hope for the best." Ok, so I'm a little sarcastic. Wouldn't you be? She has a gal stone, and a hernia...could that be what's causing the unexplained fever, since in a home with 8 children, who sleep together (like on the floor in the playroom every night because it's a "sleep over Mama") and eat off each others plates (in case someone didn't want something, they don't want to waste it...ok so it's really that they are little thieves and love to irritate each other, but I like my way of thinking about it better than reality.) and NO ONE else has ANY symptoms of ANY kind..... you tell me?

It's been an crazy month! We are not sure about moving as a job has not presented itself to be "solid" as of yet. We are very close to "foreclosure proceedings" and I just turned 30. My birthday was nice, but the week prior to.....was emotionally horrendous! And now here we are, yet again, on our way to UCLA and another wonderful visit to the OR.

I will update as I can when we get back home. Please continue to pray and we'll look forward to hearing from you all when we return home with our little one.
