Hip Pain AGAIN

Trey is experiencing hip pain again. He will have an ultrasound today and then probably Wed or Thursday have the fluid drained. Pray for wisdom for the dr's to know WHAT in the WORLD is going on. Pray for pain management for Trey as he is in quite a bit a pain. Pray for our whole family as this has been UGH..... Thanks for your prayers

First Day of school

Here are the boys on the first day of school, they hate when I take their pictures. Trey is in 7th grade and Travis 5th grade. I took this picture in my kindergarten room with the cat in the hat in the background.

Too much to blog about

Once again I feel like a bad blogger. We have had so much going on with the boys medically that I have been too discouraged to write. This summer was filled with thre vacations and lots of fun memories but also filled with lots of discouraging times as well.
Trey started complaining of hip pain on July 4th and could hardly walk. All week things went downhill. After seeing the dr and the orthopedic dr we were told he had fluid in both hips. So he had the left hip drained and with no infection in sight, the dr indicated that he is probably developing Rheumatoid arthritis. UGH. Just what we need another thing. We headed off to NM with fluid in the right hip but thought he was better. wrong. On his birthday we spent the afternoon in the ER talking with Dr's in Dallas about his hip. Pain meds and more blood work. Still everyone seems to think RA. 3 days later he had an asthma attack and ended up in ICU, needless to say, the next day we headed back to Dallas.
In the middle of all of that, we received a call from the dr about Travis that he tested positive for HEP C.. ugh we did more blood work and Thank the LORD, he does not have Hep C. But for several days we had to process that.
Lots of medical issues, and at times frustrated that all this is going on but must remember that HE is in control not ME... easier said than done.
Will update soon with lots of FUN pics.

One loss...

Last night Travis' all star team lost their first game. They play again on Thursday and hopefully, they will win or it's over. Trey has his first game on Thursday and Then again on Saturday. Last night it was at least cooler for the game. I guess that's relative in Texas as it was 88 and we thought it was cool. I saw the report for this week and it said low 90's yeah....

Still waiting on Travis' blood work and CT scan of his lungs. We should hear something today. Pray that the results are good and pray that now he is off of antibiotics that the cough doesn't return.

All Star Baseball

It's June at the Shoemake house and we are in the midst of all star baseball. Both boys made the all stars for Dallas Little league which is a great honor but with that comes lot's of practice. The boys have been practicing in the 100 degree heat every night. Tonight is Travis' first game and he is pumped. Trey doesn't play until Thursday but already is very excited. Will keep you posted as we begin this journey.

Beach

We just returned from the beach yesterday and Sunday we are headed to Colorado. One extreme to the other. Travis had a sinus infection to end the year and now is still sick. Nothing like driving in from vacation and heading straight to the doctor's office. More steroids, and antibiotics to finish off our week. Will post pictures of the beach soon.
