Spent the day yesterday at Balboa Naval Hospital with Todd. Lately he has been having some problems swallowing and getting food stuck when he eats. Turns out his esophagus is very narrow and constricted. He also has a stricture at the end of it. Monday he had a pea get stuck and couldn't eat or drink for the rest of the day. With the problem still persisting on Tuesday morning, he went to the ER on Camp Pendleton. They sent him to Balboa. Good thing. They were able to dilate his esophagus and remove the pea. They were also able to give him a diagnosis to his problem and a treatment plan. He will be having to go in once a week for the next six weeks to have his esophagus dilated :(. He is also on a liquid diet for the next full week. Not to worry. He'll be fine. Plus we stopped by Costco on the way home and bought a new blender, tons of fruit and yogurt for yummy smoothies, and a bunch of really yummy soups. He's still going to eat well. I think I'll join him on his diet. His food plan looks more delish than mine. Plus with the heat here, it will be nice and light and refreshing.
On a lighter note... I was called to be the Young Women's 1st counselor on Sunday. I will be working closely with the Mia Maids. They are the 14 and 15 year old girls at church. I am excited for my new calling. Sydney will be a Mia Maid in a month. Our first presidency meeting is tonight. I am looking forward to it. Todd tells me that the new President is a new convert. She was just baptized in January. She's been Taylor's primary teacher. Taylor really loved her. Taylor is upset at the change. But I think it is all good.
The girls are doing well. They are adjusting to school. Taylor is having the hardest time of it, but things are better this week, as she was put into a new class. There were too many 5th graders at her school. They had 5 classes with about 32 students in each class, so they made a sixth 5th grade class. Now each 5th grade class has about 25 -27 students. She likes her new teacher better and looks forward to going to school. No more morning tummy aches! Hooray!!!
I could go on and on, but I don't have time for that. So more on the other girls later. Maybe I'll take Melissa's offer to let her set up my blog. She'll do a much better job than I can. Turns out I was thinking of feeling jealous over one of my sister - in -laws and how awesome her blog is. Somehow she can do everything -- or so it seems at times. But I feel better now. She didn't do it herself, Melissa did! That's how awesome my sister -in -law Melissa is. She is so talented and creative. I love her for it. I also love how she always is thinking of others and trying to help however she can. Thank you Melissa for putting me in my place and keeping it real. I'm sorry for considering being jealous of anyone -- especially a family member. I love you all! I'm glad we're related and I'm a part of your family :).
