Well!

Okay, since I'm lazy and don't want to type up my own version of my blood test results, and what all is wrong with me.....I'm going to copy my moms! :) Clever, aren't I!

"Man, I'm glad I took Cara to the doctor. Turns out she has Mono and a staph infection in her throat/tonsils! She is on good antibiotics for the infection and just needs rest, rest, rest for the Mono. I would have sworn she didn't have mono....Oh well, Now we know that she doesn't "just have allergies", which we have been saying all along, just couldn't convince anyone to look into things more. I guess her sinus infection is better in a way, but she still has alot of "gunk" in her sinuses. Whatever that means. So anyway, under doctors orders she can sleep in as long as she wants, and can only do light duty with school work and chores, which has her all bummed out (not really). And no sparring at karate (which really does bum her out), since apparently when you have mono, your spleen is enlarged and you can't get hit hard. Actually she probably should take a few weeks off karate completely, I'm sure. Where she got mono, I have no idea. I know it wasn't from kissing boys. :-)So other than running Cara around to doctors and CT scans, etc., I've been packing up (and cooking up) for 9 people to go camping for a week. I'm sooooo tired. One more load of last minute laundry and I can head to bed. To the Redwoods we go....."

Okay, so, we're back from the Redwoods, now. Duh! If we weren't, I wouldn't be posting on my blog, because I wouldn't have Internet......oh skip it! Anyways, it was a glorious vacation. So what if it rained a bit toward the end......it ROCKED! And now we're home; sigh! Oh, well. Of course, my stupid enlarged spleen and my stupid Mono hindered me a little bit----I couldn't ripstick...er...sit on the rip-stick and go down a hill whilst sitting on it-----but it was still fun! We went to the River one afternoon. The next afternoon, we visited Scotia. We went to Ferndale one day. And we went to see Up in 3D the last day, because it was overcast and rainy and we couldn't go to the River. That was cool too! I'll post pictures later when I'm less tired and feel better. (btw, the best part of camping, besides family time----it's the FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Definitely!
