Family Picture Time!

The Seeing Eye Family Day

The Seeing Eye has an annual Family Day in Morristown, NJ. Of which, it is so beautiful there with rolling hills of green trees beyond the horizon. The premises is just as beautiful with acers of green grass and geese. We have a picnic and see the ways they train the dogs. We learned that dogs that do not make it through the program can possible become narcotic smelling dogs. or bomb sniffers. The kids enjoyed the best part, the icecream man comes and they get to get as much icecream from him as they want. One can not imaging the joy this brings to children. Isaac made three visits to the icecream man!

Here is another picure of Jaida and her friend Cheyanne.

Nana came to visit during all the Salmonella

Nana came and we had a good time developing cabin fever. Isaac held in there with watching movie after movie. We managed to go to Smithville Historic Park. It was over 100 degrees and miserable. But we did it because it was the only day we could get out of the house.

Eat Subway, Eat fresh Salmonella...Fast food is not all that good

Yes, Isaac had Salmonella!! The county health department called and asked lots of questions:
Has he held or pet any animals?...All the time, Iguana in TN, and our snake
Has he had any fresh vege or fruit?...yah
Has he swam in any rivers? ...Yes, Cherokee NC river
Has he been to any BBQ? ...Yes, at the water park
Has he dined anywhere within the last week? Yes in VA, NC, TN, and Subway in NJ
Has he drank unpasturized milk?...Yes, but it wan not with in the last week
I think that I lied about the unpasturized milk, because after saying yes to every other question I was fearful that they may call child protective services on me for exposing my child to everything possible with salmonella.
They did take the address for the Subway and that is what we think did it. They will turn the info over to the CDC and investigate for a possible breakout! This has scared us from ever easting the Salmonella breakout chains> Subway, MacD, Friendly's, Wendy's, BurgerKing. I think that covers it. We felt safe enough to eat Arby's. But we are not eating out for along time. Diarrhea for 2 weeks is enough to convince a 12 year old kid that fast food is not all that good!

Isaiah and Isaac update...

Isaiah, our foster baby, left today. It is sad to see him go but he is going home. And that should be a good thing...right? The kids will miss him.

Update on Isaac. He has been sick for a 1 1/2 weeks. They think it was food poisoning? He now has a fever on day 10. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
