Never a dull moment!

2 weekends ago was the beginning of our week from... well you get the idea! What was suppose to be a nice quiet, relaxing weekend for our little family turned out to be anything but! We packed our gear and headed north to camp for the weekend. We were able to enjoy ourselves on Friday night. The campsite was perfect (we'll go back soon!) The girls had a great time playing while we set up camp. We sat around the campfire and were all asleep by 8:00! We woke up Saturday morning to...
Kenney SICK as a dog. For those of you who don't know Kenney has type 1 diabetes. He was throwing up and just looked terrible. I said "Let's go home and I'll take you to urgent care" Being the manly man that he is he said "No I just have the flu... I'm fine." In my heart I knew he wasn't fine. I immediately packed camp up by myself. Now I'm not going to lie, I'm a pretty strong girl! I can hold my own... but packing up camp was hard work! Anyways we rushed home dropped the girls off at Aubree's (Thanks again!) And Kenney said "I think you need to take me to the hospital." WHAT THE...?!? So we headed to the ER. Kenney had gone into DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis)

That was the scariest thing I have experienced in my life thus far. He was in a bed and all hooked up within 30 minutes. Record time in an emergency room! The nurse comes in and informs me that he will spend the next few days in ICU. Kenney's sugars were at 600. Normal is 100 and just so you have an idea, when he was first diagnosed with the disease at 19 years old his sugars were 472. So he was in BAD shape. We stayed the next few days in ICU then were released to the main floor. That was a good day! They got his sugars under control and let us go home.

So this is a really common picture in our home right now... Kenney testing his sugars! HUGE shout-out to everyone who has helped us these past few weeks! Thank you for all the yummy meals, all the help with the girls, subs for my classes, the phone calls checking on us, the cleaning and laundry that was done and for your prayers! I know sometimes it takes bumps in the road to realize what's really important in life. Relying on family, good friends and the Lord have all made this bearable! Thank You Everyone!

It has been a pretty quiet little while at home! The girls have really enjoyed playing outside. One of their favorite things to do is dress up. (Please take a close look at Livy's left cheek! Love it! That girl's cheeks are constantly hanging out. She gets so tired of picking wedgies when we swim from her swim suit that she just yanks it up into her crack so it stays!!)Hailey and I were able to sneek in a much needed pedicure!

And Kenney and I celebrated out 7th Anniversary! I can't believe it has been 7 years already. I have loved every bit of the ride we have been on. I am thankful for the ups that keep us happy and sane and the downs that make us stronger!

So... long story short, we are up'n at-em once again! Phew!
