Waiting for SUMMER!!!

Ok, I have now moved all our posts from our vacation to the Kauai Blog. I wanted to make this more about Jada Rose (far more beautiful and awe inspiring than any tropical island anyways!) and less about the vacations we took WITHOUT Jada :(. We are desperately hoping that in the near future Jada will be healthy enough to take her on airplanes, and to fun destinations. We simply don't have as much fun without her. I'm sure that someday we will yearn again for that vacation with "grownups" but right now she is getting to be so fun, that we often feel that we are missing out not having her around us! If one dream could come true it would be that Jada could visit Lake Powell and enjoy it as a normal kid. Right now it simply is not an option due to the amount of bacteria living in that lake and her immune system being compromised.

Unfortunately this summer Jada was not approved to go to swimming pools unless they have been "shocked" for at least 3 days prior to her entering it with no other children swimming in it...should I use this opportunity to rant about parents taking their sick children to swimming pools???....naaa ;( Jada will still see some H2O activity this summer as Aunt Loni and Uncle Zak have already planned a sprinkler (trampoline) play area using house water so Jada can play in the water with Cousin Troy-dee, and Cousin Kit!

Jada went in to have some blood work done today at PCMC. We have been practicing her face mask skills and decided she was good enough at it to venture to Coop's suite! Hopefully this will lift the little guys spirits as he has had a tough couple of days. After the hospital Jada was entitled to a "treat" she decided to get ANOTHER "My Little Pony" however apparently this isn't such a little pony after all! Check back soon for pics and lab results!
