Primary Children's

Well, I know everyone who pays attention to my blog already knows the whole story about Channing going to Primary Children's. We went twice in two weeks, and it was an extremely humbling experience. I knew that she had no life threatening illness (or I felt pretty certain) and that if we could just find an answer, she would be fine. After nine months of doctors here not being able to solve her problem, we were referred to a lung specialist at Primary Children's. Then we went back the following week for some more tests with another specialist. Being there reminded me how lucky I am to have my health and for my kids to have theirs. There are so many very sick children there, it's heart wrenching. The doctors are AMAZING and like none you will find in this town, no offense. Although we still don't have an answer, I know that my life is good and I have no problems compared to some of the people we saw there. We enjoyed the time together as a family and Makoy had a lot of fun. He had no school when we went the first time and was able to come with. He loves "ho-n-telos" aka hotels, so his dreams came true when we "got" to stay in one. I saw it as we "had" to stay in one and my OCD didn't appreciate it. :) Anyway, here are some cute and sad pictures I snapped of our little get away I guess you can call it.


There was lots of sleeping on the way there, which was fine with me. Looks comfy, eh?



Mixed in with some toe tasting....

And big smiles
You know when you are pregnant and have a craving? Well, apparently I never forget mine, even almost a year later. After I saw this place on The Food Network, I wanted it my whole pregnancy.I finally got it, just a little late. Moochies...YUM!

I love this kid!
He loved the food, too.

And so did she.

Channing was fascinated with this "other baby" she kept seeing.

Trying to hold hands with the "other baby" I tried to keep her off the floor for OCD reasons, but she went against my feelings.

Getting ready to go to the pool. She looks thrilled, right?

Enjoying some pool time, or at least they were. Channing and I were on the sidelines. She wasn't a fan.

That looks really safe

At Primary Children's, bright and early.
Cute boy! Channing didn't appreciate how early it was, so she didn't want to get in on the picture action.

He insisted I put this in because he thought the place was huge.

Some of the fun tests she got to have, a sweat test for Cystic Fibrosis. She was MAD! I didn't blame her. It wasn't fun.

After she was wrapped up in these bad boys, we got to sit in the car with the heater on, for 30 minutes, in 80 degree weather, with her wrapped in two blankets. Luckily she fell asleep, and I pretended I was on a tropical island and told myself I was losing weight by the second while I was sweating to death.

I couldn't take pictures of some of the other tests, but it was interesting. The car ride home was pretty quiet both times we were there because she was sooo wiped out. Poor little bug.
