Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Today's the 9th annual White/Melton Reunion-Easter Egg Hunt! My kids are pumped!! What a beautiful day. Finally, no rain!

The kids had a blast hunting eggs. Bella found the Golden Egg this year--$15 bucks. Way to go, Bella! They decorated eggs, had an egg relay and spent the day playing baseball, hide-n-seek, and anything else they could think of. The creek was a huge hit again this year. Tate was muddy from head to toe! It was definitely a memorable day. What a wonderful family we have!!

Official kid count for today:16--We missed you, Cayley!--She's rockin' a scholarship she won for her "So You Think You Can Dance" competition!!!!! Go Girl!! Next year we'll welcome little Bennett (Jennifer, that's my name vote) to the family!!

Caroline's pertussis test was negative! Woohoo! Once less thing to "treat!" She's feeling much, much better and is looking forward to a week off school. Speaking of school, the third graders had a sock hop today. Caroline had a ball! She also had scouts this afternoon and is excited about graduating to a "Junior" Girl Scout next year.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun Spring Break!!

Caroline's Z-max has obviously kicked in. I haven't heard her cough once today. Her right ear drained Saturday night (thank God for PE tubes) and her nasal d/c is gone. Still waiting on some labwork but think she's over the hump! Just in time for Spring Break! It's hard to believe we were in TX this time last year. Wow, another year. Time sure does fly by. I've yet to schedule the appt. with the Cardiologist. I want to finish these meds, including the diurectic, before we see him. That way we'll have a better idea of what's going on in there. Caroline had been coming off the O2 for long periods of time before this illness struck and I believe all the resp. stuff is what caused her heart to enlarge. Also, could it be that's she's due for an expansion next month? We'll see what he says and I'll update then!

Caroline had a follow up appt. with her Pulmonologist yesterday. He said he could hear "junk" in her left side. He also said that her heart is enlarged and wants her to go back to the Cardiologist. He wants her to start a different antibiotic and another round of steroids--and continue the diuretic. She napped yesterday and slept about 11 hr's last night without coughing. Her sats stayed up without extra O2. She's coughing today but doesn't sound tight. I think things are moving around in there and we'll continue the recommended CPT three times a day in hopes of breaking that stuff up. She's still fever free and isn't complaining of anything bothering her & says she's breathing easier.

Tate's baseball game was cancelled--again-- due to rain. He'll play tomorrow at 1:00.

Doug's getting or taxes done and we're headed to Hobby Lobby for a rainy day craft!

We are going to enjoy laying low this weekend...
