Sometimes the Lord calms the storm and sometimes he calms the child while he lets the storm RAGE! That is my motto these days. ;o) We had but another trial to overcome. Ayden comae down with severe diarrhea, fever and vomiting. At first i didn't think much of it but it kept getting worse. Soon enough it got to be only GI lining and blood that he would poo. I took him in to a new Doctor (since we have different insurance now) and she pretty much disregarded it and sent us home. Since it still continued I took him back in the morning and saw a different Doctor. This one saw the severity and sent us to American Fork hospital. He stayed there for 5 days with basically no improvement and leaving everyone dumbfounded as to what was going on. On Monday morning they tested his blood once again and it has made a drastic drop from an original blood count of 421 to 30 and his kidneys were failing! They then transferred him to Primary Children's Hospital to be monitored by a specialist. The diagnosed him with HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome) http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/hemolytic-uremic-syndrome So 2 blood transfusions and another week later, he back at home and feeling like normal. He still has many check ups to make sure he is completely healed but we are definitely thankful for modern medicine!

OK so I am a REAL Slacker!!! So much has been going on in my life lately that updating my Blog has been the last thing on my mind. So for those who have not been updated on a major change....Alan and I are filing for divorce. Right now the kids and I are in Utah trying to sell the house and Alan is still living and working in Sunnyvale, Ca. It has been an up and down roller coaster for me but I have learned to rely on the Lord now more than ever. I have realized that trials, no matter how big or small, are for our good. We may not know what good it is at the beginning or even the end for that matter, but the Lord knows each of us by name and our needs. He is real and will help us each day if we are willing to humble ourselves and ask.
