Tahoe Family Reunion

After our quick trip to Disneyland we went to Lake Tahoe for a Christiansen family reunion. Out theme for the reunion was "Strong and Gorgeous" because we inherited the Girls Camp sweatshirts that were supposed to say "Strong and Courageous."

The girls were in heaven with the rides and the characters. It was hot but it was worth it.

On the Mend

I'll start with the short version and then document the long version of Brooklyn's urinary reflux and surgery...

SHORT: Brooklyn has/had urinary reflux where the urine in the bladder can reflux back up into the kidneys and cause kidney damage and frequent urinary tract infections. Her corrective surgery seemed to go well; she'll be tested again in 3 months. She's been a champ (as long as she has some pain killers) and is mending nicely. Her incision is the only thing we really have to worry about. We mostly just have to make sure her dad doesn't see it and pass out again!!

LONG: maybe next post

Ureteral Reimplant For Vesicoureteral Reflux

Wish us luck...

Tomorrow we are headed up to Primary Childrens' for Brookie's surgery.
