Vacation and More
Thanks to a very gracious family we were able to take a vacation this year. We went to Norris Lake in Tennessee. It was nice to be able to take a break from work and therapy for a while. The kids all had a great time swimming, boating, and fishing. The weather was great. We were really able to forget ourselves for a while and rest. See pictures below.
Sarah had a sleep deprived EEG after we got back. The preliminary results were great. It seems there was no activity to be concerned with. We are waiting for her neurologists official report. Sarah has been doing well this summer. She did vomit yesterday for no reason. Those are very few and far between. It does concern us a little when it happens. She has been playing to the point of exhaustion almost every day. Sometimes we make her take a nap if we know she is going to have a big day. Her birthday is at the end of month. It will be nice not having to celebrate her birthday in the hospital.
I wish I had more time to update the blog, but we have been playing pretty hard this summer and not giving ourselves much down time in the house.

It is great to see your vacation pictures and I am very happy to see that you enjoyed Norris Lake. My family and I actually live within 20 miles or so from there.
It is such a blessing to see little Sarah making such progress, and Ava and Logan are simply adorable children as well.
May God continue to reach out and touch Sarah with complete healing. Bless you all.
Warmest Regards,

It has been awhile since I checked to see how you all were doing. It looks like all is going well. Thanks for keeping us all informed on the website. I know how much work and effort it takes. You are a good family and it seems like you have a lot of good friends. You can’t go wrong like that! Keep up the great work!
