More testing (again)

Sydney had another day of testing this week. Her tests had to be done without her having much sleep. She was only able to sleep a total of four hours for Sunday and Monday nights. It's not that easy to keep a 6 year old up for two nights straight, but she did her best. On Tuesday morning we went to Primary Children's for a fun day there. She met first with the ENT then the respiratory specialist and the the sleep pathologist. She had to have another EEG done, this time she needed to fall asleep. I have never remembered the camera when we are at her normal appointments, this time I was very proud of myself for remembering. She always asks to see herself in the mirror after they hook her up for her test. I think she looks pretty dang cute. The white gauze on her head will be forever known as her spider man hat, thanks to Blayne.

I've never seen such a "cutie girl" in a hospital bed. We just love Sydney (my kids included.) Please let us know how her testing goes. I'm so sorry she has to go through this.

She's such a pretty little girl! I'm thinking about you guys, I had no idea one of your kids had to go through something like this!

I cannot even imagine trying to keep my child to only 4 hours of sleep. That means that you are not getting a lot of sleep. I hope everything turns out well. I also hope you have gotten some sleep.

Lyndsay--we will definitely call next time we are there! It was a whirlwind week. Angie will live in Springville as soon as they close on their house.

Tests are never fun for you or them but Sydney seems so brave! I'm sure she gets her strength from her parents...you are amazing! Good luck & our prayers are with you guys!

Wow! You guys are troopers. Thinking about keeping one my kids up for 2 nights straight, makes me tired thinking about it! She's in our prayers!

Fishing in Herriman

Fishing in Herriman
Kaley's big one. Kaley didn't have the patience to cast and wait for the fish to bite. I'm not sure how she managed to leave the pole in the water long enough to catch anything.

Kristyn fishing (kind of)

I think Kristyn would rather sit back and relax, and stay as far away from the fish as possible

Sydney' fish

Sydney was getting tired of fishing so she was reeling in the line to pack up and go home. She couldn't beleive it that there was a fish attached to the end of the pole

Blayne was ready for fishing before anyone

Blayne is quite the fishing pro. He has his own spiderman pole and his fishing hat.
