It's not a beach vacation
Did you guess it yet?
It's lab results from Peyton's hospital. Back in August my metabolic doctor had some concerns and wanted to rule out a few things that could explain some of my health issues. So they took a ton of blood from me to make sure my chromosomes were all normal and that I did not have one type of mitochondrial disease. This week, along with a hefty bill, we got the results we were hoping for. Both tests were normal. Mom and dad say this is a huge relief because it would have meant that vomiting and low carnitine were the least of my worries. So since they put it that way, I will be happy too. Next month we will be back in Indianapolis to see the specialist again and if everything is still going well, I get to stop taking my medicine for a month and we see what my levels do.
In other medical news, Brandon was back in the spotlight again. For the past several years he has broken an arm during every even year. So mom suggested we bubble wrap him for 2012 just to be on the safe side. Well instead of a broken arm, he went for something more unusual. Dad was driving him back from tennis Tuesday and a rock hit their windshield. Its not unusual living in Colorado which ranks #1 for this type of thing. But this time the glass broke
The glass broke into tiny pieces and went into Brandon's face and eye. Thankfully, after a quick emergency trip to the opthamologist, he only had a corneal abrasion and there were no other pieces of glass in there. Needless to say it was quite scary and we hope this counts as his bad luck for 2012 and the rest of the year will be boring. In our house, health insurance is something that will never be under appreciated.
Fall is definitely here and winter won't be far behind. We were in Denver for a couple days and camped. We were quite comfy in our 65 degree RV while Deb slept in a 32 degree tent. For the record, we invited her into the RV but she doesn't think that's real camping. I slept so soundly that my hair looked like this in the morning
Here are a few more pictures from my last week of being 6 months
