Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. I'm putting everyone's birthday in my new planner and I'm missing David's and Kobe's. If someone would get these to me I would appreciated it. Now don't expect a birthday card but at least I think about you when I see it on my calendar!! We are getting ready for Kayla's graduation party. She is excited to be done but is thinking of going on to get her degree.

Keith, we are glad your reports have been encouraging. We pray you don't have any side effects from your injections.

I hope everyone has a great year.

Love, Eileen

Thanks...........

Heartfelt Thanks!
We would like to thank you-all (southern speak for family) for all the prayers! We are doing ok. Keith is recovering from the surgery and we are keeping our eyes on the Lord! Tuesday we meet with the oncologist and hopefully will hopefully formulate a great plan for treatment. We are grateful for all the love and prayers we have felt in the past few weeks. We cannot tell you how much you-all mean to us! What a wonderful family we have.

We will keep you posted.
Love,
Connie & Keith

Happy Thanksgiving

Okay, dear family, here is the situation, and I want honest opinions.

Gavin and Riley got the MMR vaccine on Nov. 11. Saturday, Gavin spiked a fever for a few hours, and yesterday he broke out in a rash. The doctor said he likely has either measles or rubella. Because he got it from the vaccine and not from a direct full exposure, it is unlikely that he is contagious according to the CDC and our doctor, but there is the remote possibility that he could pass it on.

Both measles and rubella are usually very mild illnesses with a low fever and rash. Gavin is fussy but otherwise fine. BUT rubella in particular can be dangerous if a non-immune pregnant woman gets it. I don't think any of us are currently pregnant unless I just haven't heard yet (or someone hasn't announced yet.) We also have several babies in the family who are too young to have gotten immunized. If anyone does not feel comfortable being around Gavin, let me know so we can plan to stay home on Thursday (or Brett and Gavin can stay home while the girls and I come, if that's an acceptable compromise.) You can e-mail me at kingtaran@yahoo.com if you don't want to answer here. As much as I want to see everyone, I don't want to put anyone at risk.

Update on my kids

We had a monster appointment for all four kids last week with our primary doctor. Ethne and Catie have started growing again, so Dr. C feels okay with backing off the testing for now. We still have no answers for why they were losing weight. I am glad we did the testing, but I'm also okay with backing off. The girls are happy, healthy, and meeting milestones. As long as they keep growing, I'm not worried about them being small. It's only when they stopped gaining and started losing that we wanted some tests done.

Thanks, everyone, for the prayers and support while we were testing the girls. Here's hoping they keep gaining.

If you want more details, you can check out my personal blog.

I had a chance to take a few pictures of Mitchell on Saturday and thought I would share one on the blog. That's Jason's hand holding him. I just love this little guy.
