Been a Busy Few Weeks!

Paige had her tonsils and adenoids taken out September 5th. Recovery was going great until Friday when she had a bad asthma attack. From there it went downhill and she now has croup. Poor little thing just lays, coughs, andl cries right now. I can't imagine how painful it must be for her to cough hard after just having tonsils out!

Devin had his first big cross country meet on Saturday at Virginia Tech. He placed 79th out of about 120 kids. Not bad for 115 degree heat index and running in the mountains for the first time. He has another race tonight and then a big one on Saturday that Grandma and Grandpa Lyons get to watch. I don't know if he's happy about that - or nervous about that!

Kayleigh is super busy with school and getting ready for her surgery. She's having her tonsils and adenoids taken out as well as tubes put in her ears -all at the age of 13!! Her latest exam showed significant hearing loss as a result of the fluid buildup in her ears that was left from the infection she got last spring. Her surgery is scheduled for October 2nd.

Chase is our ball of energy! He loves his new 4th grade teacher and she seems to have a good handle on his autism and SI issues. She's very patient with him and is great at redirecting him without scolding him. He's very excited about moving to the new house so he can play in the woods.

Mike and I are just exhausted! Between work and juggling the kids around with school and medical issues - we're pooped! Mike is having surgery on our wedding anniversary (Nov 2) to repair he bicep tendon and labrum in his right shoulder. Me - I'm playing nurse to all!

Many Blessings to All!
