Porter's Upper GI

It has been a crazy past week! Kameron and I have been painting our house like crazy, Kameron has helped his sister and my brother move..and Porter had to have an Upper GI performed. It was the most nerve wrecking thing taking him to the hospital for this. He has had some spit up issues with the projectile vomiting, so the doctor wanted to make sure that what he had was the reflux. They had to lay him on this little board thing and strap him down. Then they had to pin his little arms up by his head and strap these things around his forehead to keep them in place and bring this big machine over top of him. It was SO sad, but he was tough. He cried a little, but I was right there rubbing his forehead so he knew I was there. Then I had to feed him this stuff that blocks the Xray, and we watched the liquid go all the way down to his little tummy. It was really neat to see how it all goes down and we saw his little bones in the Xray. Porter didnt cry at all, he just drank what they gave him and actually fell asleep. THANK GOODNESS! Because I was SO scared he was going to scream so bad I would have to leave the room. I cried when he had his two month shots done, I just knew listening to him scream wouldnt be something I could handle. But he was such a little trooper. It was confirmed that he did have reflux, so I am awaiting a phone call from the doctor to see what the next step is. Hopefully we can switch to a cheaper formula since the problem isnt the cows protien that we first thought it to be. Not having to spend $75 a week on formula will save us a LOT of money. So it wasnt the huge tramatic experience I thought it might be. It was actually very simple and my little warrior did great. Of course Kameron was there too, in case I couldnt handle it he could stay with Porter. Dads are much better at that. So anyways, I am so proud of Porter and how strong he was through that ordeal, I am sure it wasnt fun.
Also, Kameron and I got a phone call saturday afternoon that the Stake President wanted to meet with us. Uh-Oh, is what we thought. There is only one reason for a Stake President wanting to meet with you....Someone was getting a calling. I rested assured because they asked for Kameron when they called. Wheew! It wasnt for me. =) So we left Tucson from helping my brother move that evening and drove to the meeting. Kameron is now in the Elders Quorum Presidency. Its a big calling and I never see him now as it is with him working so much, but I know that there will be blessings from his service. So we are excited for this new step in our lives. We have only been in this ward for a few months and this is already Kameron's second calling. In a ward of a thousand people, I thought we would be invisible but with Kameron's strong testimony, spirit, and leadership quality, we are always bound to stand out. After me being in the RS presidency in our last ward I am really excited for Kameron to experience the blessing in serving in such an important calling.
Well this is long I know, but we have had kind of a crazy week. And off to Pine Top for 4th of July with my family, I cant wait!! It will be a relaxing trip and a break from this horrible heat!! Happy 4th of July everyone!!
