Dani Update

Tuesday May 6th Danielle was admitted to the hospital with failing kidneys. A couple of days and several tests later they allowed Dani to be released from the hospital. They did a number of tests and took several cultures but it may be difficult to immediately diagnose the illness because of all the antibiotics she has been on over the past 4 weeks. The current guess is that she may have a medullary sponge kidney (spongy kidney disease – Visit http://kidneydiseases.about.com/od/kidneydisorde2/a/medullarysponge.htm ). Her kidneys weren’t functioning at a very high level, but with the current antibiotic, she seems to be much better, and has resumed her search for a tanning parlor job.

Brady and Lucky


After school Brady was so tired that he and Lucky just had to take a nap.

Mothers Day


Michelle had an enjoyable Mothers Day. Don fixed dinner as usual, which consisted of a Caesar salad, filet mignon with béarnaise sauce, fresh asparagus, corn on the cob, rice pilaf (which took forever to cook), and a strawberry/blueberry tart for dessert. Michelle received several gifts, including a darling photo/scrap book that Emily made, an Enchanted CD, Victoria's Secret Lotions, McDonalds gift card, new projection alarm clock, Born sandals, Great and Terrible Novel, Vol. 2, Kitchen Aide Bowl Cover, booties, sports bra set, and candy. Thanks to everyone for the great gifts!
