Shay asked to not go to church today as she didn’t want to jump around while she sang. She said she “didn’t want to wiggle.”  Her chest hurts her a little less today. Her heartbeat is consistently over 120 bpm and she had a hard time falling asleep last night. She did not seem to be as slow to do things today. She has been playing with her sisters instead of sitting on couch and watching TV so perhaps a little better today. We’ll see what tonight and tomorrow hold.

We likely won’t know anything until Wednesday.

Shay’s heartbeat is racing at over 140 beats per minute. (It is really hard to count a heartbeat/pulse that fast) Not a very good thing. Her chest hurts and is not her bouncy self. We are “grounded” for at least a week while medical tests are performed. We had hoped to do some other traveling. Well, God knows best. We appreciate your prayers while we/they try to figure out what is wrong. We visited the Emergency Room, a family doctor, a specialist and will have a battery of tests next week. Shay and the other kids all were sick 10-14 days earlier with some high fever spikes and sore throats.

When driving back from Staples to get the Bluetooth Headset, I asked Maia what they talked about in Sunday School that morning.  She said: “Jesus going into Jersulam with all the Pom Poms.”  Or was that Palm Palms?  Probably a misunderstanding of “Palm Fronds”.

We finally are over the flu thing!!! We still are coughing a little, but are no longer contagious anymore so we can go visit my mother! This is great. The sickness lasted about 8 days per person. Worst was the fever that would come and go for 6 days.

We are all sick. Kids have had fevers in excess of 104 degrees. All 6 of us have been sick in the past week. Looks like it hangs around for over 7 days. Ugghh. We’ll see what tomorrow holds.

What a crazy way to lose teeth. Her first tooth was a normal bottom front tooth. The second to be lost is on the other side of her other front tooth. Now she has a hole on each side of 1 baby tooth.
