Forgot to follow up

Life goes on so fast that we never seem to be able to get everything done that we want to. I never followed up to my last blog, so I thought I'd share a little. My test results are back and I have Crohns Disease. It is localized to one main area, which I think is good. I got a small lecture about not ignoring my body because it is evident that this has been going on for some time....but in my defense I was told years ago that I had IBS...so I just figured that that was the issues. When you are told something by a doctor..that makes sense..you sort of just take it with out question. So anyway, I have been put on medication and I have a follow up on Monday. He was concerned about my liver results...I guess enzyme levels for a woman my age should be around 19...mine were 217!! Yikes! But for the most part I am feeling better... I am trying to deal the best I can and go on with life.
Some of you may know about Adams skateboarding accident. We took the kids to the skate park here on base...Ayden was wanting to learn from his Dad...and with the Koehler luck, Adam lost his board coming down one of the ramps. He snapped the inside part of the bone by his wrist. The way it broke it was pulling down on the bones in his hand...so long story short he ended up with a plate and seven screws holding him together! He is counting down to getting his cast off on the 3rd of Sept,..and so am I! I now he will be out there again...he wants to make sure Ayden isn't afraid to get back out there.
All the kids are back in school, they started on the 19th of August here..which is way early compared to most people we know. I was glad when they went back...this was the first summer in many years where I was working. It was an adjustment for all of us..but they were really bored!! Things are just so different here... you have wildlife and other things to always be on the lookout for, that I wasn't comfortable with them being out and running around while I was at work...so they were REALLY bored! ;oD But they survived and I think it helped them appreciate each other (or I could just be doing some wishful thinking!)
