First Trip To Urgent Care

-
Last night we took our first trip to Urgent Care! Jacy had been running a fever all day. At 11:30pm it spiked to 103, so we felt it was time to take her in. The concern was a UTI or a shunt malfunction, but a CT scan, x-rays, and lab work ruled those out. They said that she appears to just have a viral infection and to keep her home and hydrated for 48 hours. We were glad to hear that it wasn't something worse. It was a long night for me and Jacy... Especially Jacy! She is usually so happy and smiley to everyone she meets, but NONE of the nurses from last night are her friends! =) She was a real trooper, putting up with all the stuff that had to do to her.

The silver lining... Her Neurosurgeon requires the Dr.'s on call to call him directly anytime one of his patients is admitted in Urgent Care. He told the Dr. that he wants to see Jacy in is office on Monday! This is great news because it means that now we don't have to wait until Oct. 6th to get the results from Friday's MRI. We are very grateful to have Dr. Manwaring as her Neurosurgeon here in Arizona. Having the Dr.'s call him anytime one of his patients is seen, even when he is not the neurosurgeon on call, really shows how much he cares for his patients.

Please keep Jacy in your thoughts on Monday as we get the MRI results!
Love,
Jody

Native Drums

For the past 6 weeks Jayne's class (all the 4th and 5th graders) at school have been working with a resident artist learning about the  Tlingit (KLING kit), the Haida (HIGH duh) and the Tsimshian (SIM she ann) native tribes of Southeast Alaska. They have learned how to introduce themselves in the native tongue. They have learned about the art and form styles used in totems and the meanings behind the symbols. They even had the opportunity to make a deer skin drum (Goo-jow), including soaking the deer skin and stretching it over the wood drum frame and letting it set until it hardened. Once it was completely dry they got to draw their chosen native symbol on the drum and the paint it. They look SO COOL! They even made their own drum stick using a stick, fabric, buck leather, and deer tendon, which was used as the string to tie it all together. This past week the students performed for the rest of the school, singing a song/chant in the native tongue. It is a welcome message...

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL weather!!!  We have all been feeling a little under the weather, but we have made sure to get outside a little each day.  On Saturday we were fortunate enough to be downtown by the cruise ships docks and caught a few glimpses of a humpback whale!  When they bubble feed you can see a ring of bubble start to surface on the water and then they come straight up the center with open mouths to feed.  It is so cool to see them!  They are really big!  Sunday afternoon was a nice drive to all the great spots that we love to view the ocean from.  It was a gorgeous sunset!  Someday I still can't believe that we live here!!!
