A long week

This week was very long and I don't know how to even explain it. I am going to to forgo my usual format, for awhile. So Here goes.
This all started in March Christi has been feeling very ill since then. She has been having diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, a moderate stomach ache, and long breaks between very heavy periods. So on the last Thursday in June she went to see her doctor to try to discover what is going on. During he exam Dr Cassidy felt an abnormal mass and was concerned be the tenderness in Christi's belly, so blood work, and two ultrasounds were ordered.
Blood work came back last week for the most part results were good. Cholesterol was low, sugar was normal and so on. The only two that didn't come back as suspected was the cancer marker was high and the pregnancy test came back positive. Don't get to excited there was nothing definitive until after the ultrasounds. Those two test together can mean a few diffrent thing, also don't forget the unexplained mass.

Monday-Christi had her first ultrasound, this one was uterine. It was there we saw a six to seven week old pregnancy right were it's suppose to be and heard a heart beat. It was wonderful news under the circumstance. Okay you can get excited now. Also in the evening we went over to Paul's and met Teresa (Paul's new girlfriend)

Tuesday brought the second ultrasound, I have not gotten the report back on this one, but in this one they were looking for endometriosis, which is uterine lining outside the uterus on other organs. The kids also had dance and scouts. At scouts Paul (Christi's Dad) came and taught the boys wood working. Thanks Dad for your help the boys really enjoyed it.

Wednesday we went shopping for our camping trip

Thursday we packed for camping and met with Dr Chang the high risk OB in town. He didn't see any thing to be to overly concerned, but he did warn that the high cancer marker while it might just be normal for me it could mean a miscarriage later into what is the normal time period and or pre-term labor.

Friday after work we joined Cathy, Steve, and the pack at La Plata canyon for a weekend of family camping fun. Here are few pictures of all our fun
A fawn we got to see very up close. Don't worry Mommy was near by and we didn't touch.

Saturday we took a truck ride up the canyon to look at rocks and play in snow in the morning and went on hike to find a mine above our campground. They never found it, the adults over estimated what a 6-9 year olds can do.

Sunday we drove up to the mine at the top of La Plata Canyon to collect more rocks for the boys belt loops.
The Mine Then we packed up and came home very dirty and tired.
