Bye Bye Beach Baby

Last weekend was our last free weekend before the big move. It was time to say good bye to the sugar white sandy beaches of Panama City. Our good friends, The Tuckers, came down from Alabama for one last visit. The most difficult part of moving is knowing you won't get to see your friends on a regular basis. When we moved from Alabama to Florida we still manages to see the Tuckers on an almost monthly basis for the first 2 years!! This will be harder as we are moving from Florida to New Mexico on the other side of the country.

The kids had a BLAST at the beach!! The afternoon was spent with kids napping and the Daddy's got to go to the shooting range. It was about time as they have been talking about it for nearly 7 years!!! Then everyone met up at our house for smoked ribs and chicken.

Eddie thought he was hot stuff "surfing" the waves. I think he drank half the ocean.

It wasn't until bedtime we realized how sunburned everyone got at the beach.

We will really miss living close enough to the Tuckers to drive for a weekend visit without a lot of planning ahead. Thank God for the internet and cell phones. We can at least watch the kids grow through pictures like these.

Old Maid in My Ear

Last week Alan said he put a popcorn seed in his ear at school. We took him to the pediatrician at the base and they tried to get it out with irrigation. While we were waiting for the referral my friend, Missy (a nurse), took him to her husband's office and tried to irrigate it out again. No luck so we had to wait for a referral to be approved to take him to a pediatric ENT. The closest one is in Pensacola and couldn't get him in until March 17th!! Again I called my friend Missy and asked for her recommendation on ENT doctors in town. She gave me her guy's name and I got on the phone with Tricare. It took lots of call transfers and time, but they could change the referral to Dr. Tran and he could get us in yesterday. Dr. Tran was unable to remove the popcorn seed in his office, but they could get Alan in for surgery first thing this morning to remove the seed. Here is where I learned that anything requiring anesthesia is called surgery. They were going to put Alan out so he...

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein...
