Hello friends, Sorry it's taken me so long to update.Life is keeping us busy.When I left off Ariel had just celebrated her birthday.She had so much fun that day.It was nice seeing her smile since this horrible monster called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome came into our lives.This summer we did some of our usual outings and events.Went to some movies and took in a couple of fairs and even went to the Tacoma Rainiers baseball game.We are hockey junkies,but hubby loves baseball.So we like to go for him.It's fun for us too.I took Daniel with me to see Million Dollar Quartet.It was a musical about the music of Elvis,Jerry Lee Lewis,Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins.A bit older than both of our years,but we enjoyed it a lot.The singers were phenomenal and sounded just like the people they were portraying and they were also amazing on different musical instruments.We also enjoyed a nice dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory.
Father's Day we had friends over for a barbecue and my hubby got a new riding mower.
Daniel continued to play hockey in summer league.
He also worked the fireworks stand for The Key Peninsula Veterans.
Fourth of July was spent with barbecue and lighting off fireworks and then watching The Macy's fireworks on t.v.
Ariel continued to get nerve blocks,until unfortunately the pain clinic decided to stop them and now her arms are fully flared up.
I did manage to take Ariel on a few outings to movies and lunch.
We never did get to the beach though.With her lesions salt water just didn't seem to be the best thing for her.
We actually found this little bunny on the road he couldn't move and had been injured.So we drove him out to a wildlife rehabilitation place on Bainbridge Island and made a day of it.
The baseball game was fun unfortunately the food was quite expensive and not that great.We all had a good time despite that and bonus it was Friday fireworks night.So we got to see some beautiful fireworks.
We went to church on the lawn several times.Unfortunately one of the times Daniel had a seizure there and paramedics were called.Thankfully his doctor goes to the same church as we do and there were several nurses there as well.I appreciated how helpful everyone was even though they were all a bit freaked out.
Hubby and I also celebrated our 30th anniversary.Breakfast at Hops and Drops and a trip to the gun range.I personally wanted to go to the ocean,but with Ariel the way she is maybe next year.
We also celebrated both Daniel and Michael's birthdays.Paintball for
Daniel and laser tag for Michael.They had a great time celebrating their
special days.
Due to Celiac and gluten intolerances I made both guys cakes this year.I think they turned out pretty cute.
Then we hit the zoo and several fairs.Thankfully Ariel doesn't have to be in a wheelchair all the time.Just when she's having a bad seizure day.
The guys hanging out at Whaling Days.
Loving some mini horses at The Kitsap County Fair.
Enjoying deep fried butter at The Washington State Fair.
A dizzying ride.
We even got to go hang out with the T-birds at Dave & Busters.
Daniel had a lot of fun playing air hockey with Owen.
We did end up having a fun summer despite having to do different things to help Ariel cope with the pain of the CRPS.Now we are geared up for fall.I have my decor all out and we are in full swing of hockey season and planning on doing some work at the zoo as well.Ariel finally gets another set of nerve blocks on the 8th of October.Please continue to pray for her.You can also follow her progress at
Thank you for your love,support and prayers.
