The first of many! I hope.....
Well, the Martin Family is going CAMPING!! Ha Ha! We will see how this goes! Tommy, the kids and I are borrowing Tom and Dawn's big camper and we are headed to Santee State Park next week for a week of camping. I am excited but at the same time nervous. If we have any problems I think it will only be sleeping. If one wakes up everyone will wake up! Most likely there will be a slight learning curve!!!! Despite the fact that Gracie is still sick the doctor gave us the go ahead to go on a vacation. ( Update: In case you haven't heard we found out that Gracie has Salmonella Poisoning. Today will be four weeks straight of diarrhea. We are all so over it I couldn't even begin to explain. It took the doctors 3 weeks to figure it out and that is an extremely sore subject with me. I told them from day one of the diarrhea something is wrong and this is not normal. They continued to tell me I was wrong and this is normal and nothing is wrong with her. After seeing blood and having a high fever I refused for them to tell me nothing was wrong and they needed to figure something out.... Fortunately they figured out what it is and unfortunately where is not a thing they can do about it. They can only give antibiotics if it is a certain type of salmonella. NOT SO FUN FACT: there are over 2000 types of Salmonella. As of yesterday it will be at least another 2 weeks for the Health Department to figure out which one she has. The doctor informed us yesterday that 90% of the time it will turn out to be one they can't give her anything for. So for now all we can do is pray pray pray and wait it out!

Have fun camping! I've been thinking we need to do it too, but I'm not so sure a pack & play would fit in a tent. :) Maybe we should wait till Isaac's a little older. Y'all are going to have so much fun!
Ivana just told me that Gracie has been sick!! Katie, that is terrible! We will definitely pray for her to feel better - especially for your little trip - and that this moves completely out of her system. Love you guys! Have fun! We'll miss you!
Have fun! Praying for Little Gracie tonight! :) Hope she feels better soon. By the way, did the test her for Shagella(sp)?? Danielle had that at about 18 months and it took them FOREVER to figure it out. One thing we did that really helped was ask for a perscription for probiotics. I think they are stronger then the ones you can buy over the counter...it seemed like she was feeling better in a few days after we started them. Good luck!
