Updates

This weekend we went to the Fitzgerald reunion. It was fun. I saw a few people that told me they read my blog. Thanks for reading.

The last time I wrote my mom was waiting for biopsy results. The mass in her parotid gland was determined to be pleomorphic adenoma. The good news is that it is not cancerous at this point. She will have another biopsy in three months.

Monty has not received any results on his echocardiogram. I guess no news is good news. We will call at the end of the week if he has not heard anything.

Makenzie had a cardiology appointment last Thursday. The heart moniotor showed that she goes into SVT rhythm for a few minutes. It is not dangerous because her heart rate stays in a safe range. The doctor does not believe that it is a result of the leak in her aortic valve. It is a small leak and will be monitored annually. It is just +1 for being abnormal. The doctor sent her for lab work to check her thyroid. She also has to see the nephrologist in the next couple of weeks because her blood pressure was a little high at the appointment. Since she only has one kidney, we have to get it checked out.

Makayla is still in therapy for her leg. The swelling is improving. She is still limping a bit but hopefully time will help.

Makayla's teacher, Mrs. Pierce, passed away last Friday after a long battle with cancer. I took Makayla to her funeral today. I have to say that it was the most Christ centered funeral that I have ever been to. I think it was very motivational and inspirational to the students that attended. Please pray for the Pierce family.

Not much else is going on here. We have been busy working at Vacation Bible School this week. It is fun to see the little kids so excited and having a good time.

Have a good rest of the week.
