Hi everybody!
Busy week! Really enjoying the emails from you kids...nice to know what's happening in your lives.
My co-workers and I have been having some successes with helping the doctors be more compliant with medication reconciliation. This has been a three year battle on my part. It has taken getting my boss, and some others involved, helping them see the problems, and working together to come up with solutions...and it's happening!
We missed FHE on Monday, so we did it on Wednesday evening instead. Venae happened to be there, and it was very nice. Dad did the lesson and made the refreshments too! Graham cracker and frosting sandwiches. Grandpa loved them!
Gran had the skin cancer removed from her nose on Wednesday morning. I took the day off and took her down. It didn't take too long; we were home by 1:30, even after running a couple of errands.
My cell phone, which is also my work phone, has been going through battery really quickly for a while; but it had gotten ridiculous just recently. So I mentioned it to the phone guy at work, and he realized that I wasn't on the upgrade list, and should have already gotten an upgrade. So I went from a Galaxy S3, to an S6 this week. I'm slowly getting to know it. I'm sure it will be great.
I think that most of you know that Jocie has been struggling with a kidney stone for the past week. She went to the ER on Monday and Wednesday. Each time they gave her IV fluid, and something for pain and nausea, and told her to go see a Urologist. But she wasn't able to get in to see one, and by Friday had been having flu like symptoms for two days. Janie brought her to the ER Friday afternoon. This time, they did another CT, another IV, this time with an anti-biotic, and called a urologist in Idaho Falls. He said "put her in an ambulance and get her down here." We jokingly hoped that Joseph would be the paramedic on duty...and he was! It was great for her to have him there. She had surgery at 7pm that night. They weren't able to get the stone...too high up, and too much inflammation. She had been drinking lots of water but not passing much urine, and had developed a serious kidney infection, which was causing her kidney to stop working. It's been two days now and her kidney is just now starting to wake up...but no stone yet. She is eager to go home, but has to stay at least one more night.
Thanks again for the follow-up emails you send...Dad and I really enjoy them. Alida will be 1 year old this Friday! Oh my goodness. Looking forward to pictures of the birthday celebration! Love you, Alida!
