Prayers for Wednesday

Cambry has had a challenging winter.  She was struck hardest with the flu in early January, she just got over a week-long bout with a weird stomach bug, and in the midst of it all, she's been to the doctor 4 times with a urinary frequency problem.  Tomorrow morning, she has a procedure to explore why she has to use the restroom so often, and if anything needs fixing, they should be able to do that all during the same procedure.

Caiden had surgery when he was 3, Delaney had surgery last year, and now it's Cambry's turn.  This is one is different, though, because she's old enough to be scared.  She hasn't talked about it much, and I'm very careful about bringing it up.  There were a few tears last night, but she seemed to recover quickly.

We're hopeful that we might get some things figured out tomorrow.  Prayers would be appreciated for Cambry's anxiety, for patience as Chelan and I wait, for safety, for the wisdom of the doctors and nurses involved, and for answers!

  2. I'm so sorry she has to have this done. I'll be praying for her and you and Chelan. I hope you can get some answers!

    I'm sure the doctors have told you this, but last year Addison was having problems going to the bathroom all the time. It was getting to be a problem at school. Her pediatrician said a lot of times this can be caused by constipation when the colon pushes on the bladder and gives them the feeling that they need to pee all the time. We started giving her Miralax occasionaly to help with constipation and the problem was solved.

    Hopefully it will be something simple like that with Cambry! I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow.

Pre-Christmas Surprise

 On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op

Spring Art

While Mrs. Schmidt was away on maternity leave during the spring, Mr. Novak (from Hesston) filled in for her. Since Cambry has her first 3 class periods in the art room, she got to know him very well and he mentioned several times how he appreciated Cambry's artistic style and way of thinking. He even let her paint a little bit on his own pieces! Cambry took several pieces to the WSL art festival in April. She came home with a first place finish in the graphic design category and an honorable mention in the computer design category. We are so thankful for the instruction she has received over the last 4 years in Goessel. Now, on to Hesston College with Professor Cross!

July Highlights

July was a slow, meandering stroll through mid-summer. Slow as it was, there were some highlights: Lots of raspberries to pick - what a delight! Kenya continues to grow and learn how to take walks: Delaney loved her week at Camp Menno! Delaney and Jenna attended the KSU Volleyball camp: All 5 of us were in the SAME place at the SAME time to attend a beautiful wedding! Cambry found success at the Marion Co. Fair one last time with 4 purples and 1 red on her photos. Two of those purples turned into a Reserve Grand Champion and Grand Champion in her respective classes. Fun fact, as an assistant, she sat with her future art professor as he judged photos! Delaney and I were "guest readers" at the little kids' Splish Splash Party at church: Last but not least - the Paris Olympics started! We watched the opening ceremony at Vanessa's. I took an olympic flag fruit pizza to share with everyone: Next up: a busy month of transitions!
