Well it never seems to be dull at the Johnson House! And the past couple weeks have been no different. About three weeks ago Darwin got Strep throat really bad. He was admitted to the hospital and they soon found that it had gone Septic and infected his entire blood supply. His body wasn't responding to the antiboditics. He was on then for twelve hours with no change, the doctors were going to give him one more hour of the meds before they were going to start the blood transfusions, to get the infected blood out before it started affecting his organs. Luckily in that hour he finally started to respond! They released him and at his follow up appointment, they decided that his tonsils need to come out. So on the 23rd, we will be in Bend for him to have that done. They are keeping him over night though because he went septic that one time, so he is considered high risk. They said that although this procedure is fairly simple and routine, that adults have a much harder time with this procedure than kids do. We were told he will miss about a week and half os work....so for that time it'll be like I have six kids instead of just three!! So the other day it was beautiful outside and we spent almost all day outside playing baseball and swimming. Denver apprently got bit by some type of critter, spider or something and he woke up this morning with his elbow, three times the normal size. We went to Church and asked our nurse friend she said that we should bring him in to the clinic tomorrow. Well once church was over she looked at again and told us we couldn't wait till tomorrow. So we spent most of Father's day in the ER. He has develop Cellutitus, which is a skin infection that affects teh deeper layers of the skin. He is on antiboditics and we go back on Tuesday for some blood work and madicine adjustment if necessary. I've decided they need to rename the hospital here or at least a wing of it and name it after us! Oh well, I guess this is what I get for having small kids! Other than that, we are doing pretty good. Parker is getting big! I can't believe he is three months old already! He is coming close to rolling over and coos and smiles all the time! Porter, is becoming quite the little dramatic one in our family and it is starting to drive me crazy! Hopefully he'll grow out of it! Denver, is doing great other than his arm! He amazes me at all the things he says and learns each day! We are working on Potty training :( with not too much success and if any of you have any ideas or advice for me... PLEASE HELP!! I'm doing good...not sleepying much but that is okay. Anyhow, we look forward to seeing you all soon at the reunion!
Love the Johnsons
