Sorry

Wow the month of August is really flying by. I apologize to those of you who check our blog on a regular basis.

She was given her new name by Alan of course and he had a blast being spoiled during the visits.

The nurse and other medical professionals, at camp, told me all I needed was a hot shower and good night sleep because I was camping in the rain. When I came home and took a shower I couldn't even stand up. So my mom checked my blood sugar just to rule out that I wouldn't have diabetes. I was around 500. You should be 80-150. So, my mom rushed to Tripler (the big pink hospital) at 1:00 am because the hospital on Hickam is only a clinic for app...
