River Cats and River Boating

We had a busy week this week! Daddy finished his trial and that night we got to go to a River Cats game with Mommy's work. There were a few friends for me to play with and I had lots of fun. Unfortunately we were all so excited that we couldn't sit still for pictures! So... I only have a couple to show. And this weekend we mostly slept any time we could. Both mommy and daddy have been super tire so every time I took a nap they took advantage as well:) BUT we did wake up Saturday morning and went to the Sacramento River with our neighbors to hang out on their boat. We had a great time. I even got in the river with Daddy and did pretty good! I loved the boat, once I got used to it, and walked all around it:) My Daddy and Denny went knee boarding too and that was fun to watch them. I pointed at them every time they went out or feel down!
That's all the news around here, I hope you too had a great week. Enjoy the pictures:)

Hold on tight daddy.

Daddy and Lexi
No really, I'm having fun:)
Jenny was sitting at the front of the boat and Lexi wanted to go up there too so she went right up to her, put her arms up and sat with Jenny for the rest of the time!
She must have been comfortable because this is how she ended up!!!!!

Houseboating and 14 months old today!

Well my Auntie Jen, Autumn and Ayla invited mommy and me to go on the houseboat this weekend. Since daddy is so busy working right now we decided to take them up on it!!!! This was my first time in a body of water bigger than me, other than my feet being in a pool, and I did great! Mommy was aftraid that I would jump off the boat so I spend most of Saturday in a lifejacket but I seemed to get used to it pretty quick. It was a little cumbersome, but it was ok:) I even went into the water with mommy. I didn't like it at first, but then it was alright:) Luckily there were other people available to take pictures:) I also got to see some ducks and loved to point at them:) AND I celebrated my 14 month birthday today!!!! Can you believe it??? Time sure flies when you are having fun:):) Here are a few pictures from this weekend. I hope you enjoy!

I'm not so sure about this!!! First time in a lifejacket!

Is finally back in the swing of things. Other than being OVERLY exhausted we are all finally feeling better!!!!! Tommy is starting his second day of his trial and feeling mostly better. Lexi went back to school today and seemed to be great! Other than being stuck to mommy these days she seems to be feeling better, which was my biggest concern!!!
Tommy's doctor sent him an e-mail yesterday saying that all of the test results came back fine so they will be doing another liver enzyme test next month to monitor it. Other than that they don't seem too overly concerned. This is good!!!! Many PRAISES!!!!
Thank you again to all who have been praying for us!

**UPDATE TO Daddy's update

Well yesterday morning Tommy woke up with a rash over most of his body. Of course we pretty much freaked and he called the doctor but it wasn't utnil the end of the day he got a call back. The doctor those that the rash was a reaction to the antibiotics and told him to quit taking them immediately. After more research on Tommy's part I guess there is a common "ammoxocilian rash" that occurs sometimes after taking the medicine for 8 days... so that was a relief. It's still there but we are hoping it's almost gone!
The doctor also told him that the other test results he had, mono and such all came back normal. As well as the Hep C. So there are only two more results we are waiting on and if those come back negative then he will have an ultrasound. The doctor thinks he just got a really bad virus. Tommy still wasn't feeling that great last night but better than he has been so we'll see!!!! If anything I think we are going to have them monitor his liver enzymes if they can't figure out what's going on! I'll update again probably Monday after the rest of the tests come back.
AND THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ARE PRAYING!!!! WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

UPDATE!!! DADDY felt pretty good today but I woke up throwing up with a 102.5 temp!!!! I was pretty miserable all day and just wanted to be held most of the day. I did play a little bit but we mostly all laid around and tried to get a lot of rest today!!!!! PLEASE continue to pray for the health of our family! And for daddy's 9-day trial that starts tomorrow! THANK YOU TO ALL!

And if you are just tuning in, there are 3 new posts below also so read on:):)

Post about Daddy -- PLEASE PRAY!

Some of this is a repeat but just so you have it all in one spot!
As some of you already know Tommy has been pretty sick since pretty much the beginning of July. His symptoms (besides feeling terrible and lousy) are that he'll run a low grade fever during the day (99.8 or so) that will end up being a higher fever in the evening time (101 and upwards of like 102.5) and wake up sweating and cold...and is JUST MISERABLE!!! I don't know it's just been terrible. He was put on antibiotics last week and told he should feel better that they weren't sure what was wrong with him, and to come back if he still felt bad. So yesterday he finally was able to go back back (unfortunately work has been so busy he wasn't able to take a moment off!!!!!) and they took about 7 vials of blood. I just got off the phone with him and the doctors office called him and he needs to go back for more lab work because his liver enzyme's are abnormally high and they need to do more tests. Please be praying for us right now.
To top it all off he is supposed to be sitting second chair in his first 9 day jury trial that is starting next week. And his work load continues to increase by the day!!!!!

Thank you in advance!!!!
Love,
