My friday

First off I babysat Nick.  He is my cousin Andi's little boy and I have him 4 Fridays in a row while she does her student teaching.  He is such a cute and easy baby!  Please excuse the devil eyes as my phone is only a so-so camera!






While babysitting Brenn was hanging out and I thought it was funny what she uses for her mouse pad.



Yes that is what you think it is!  Too Funny!  She finally grew in that area and I  am glad it comes in useful.  Actually she was over because we  have been to Mayo twice this week.  She has been having problems with knowing if she is moving or not.  She will put her car in gear and she cannot tell if she is going forward or backward.  Or even sometimes when she is standing still it feels like she is moving.  I really thought it had something to do with her meds but the doctor was pretty concerned and ordered an MRI  and a tilt table test.  The MRI was normal (of course) but  the tilt table test showed some strange reactions of her heart.  So off to the cardiologist.  She was great and thinks Brenn might have POTS or

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome


Often more simply referred to as postural tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, this disorder is characterized by the body's inability to make the necessary adjustments to counteract gravity when standing up.
 
So she went home with a monitor for 24 hours and then we will see.  She will need an echo cardiogram and then to see a special cardiologist.  Hmmm, not really sure what to think but hope it eventually helps with her head. 
 
Dallin is still bad with Mono!  He hardly moves and looks really pale and pitiful.  He had to withdraw from school, which I am really bummed about.  He was doing so very well with a job he liked and school he liked.  We have to wait to go to the doctor for his mission papers until he can get the shots he needs.  UGHH!  I hate this!  Pretty sure he hates it too!
 
Logan is doing really well.  He is tired, 3 mornings a week he gets up at 5 and runs 4 miles then goes to school and either lifts or practices after school.  He is a little grumpy but who blames him.  Some of his friends are getting their licenses and he is looking forward to his permit.  He also went to some obscure website and my big computer has a virus or a worm or both!!  I have spent all week trying to fix it and hopefully I have finally kicked its butt!!  Of course my usual computer guru is up at Big Lake fishing!!  Can I hear another UGHHH!!
