Tucson ROCKS

Crazy busy Month here- it zoomed past! 
Since most of this is what we call "NORMAL"   we forget to share.
1. Brooke was deployed to South Sticky Hot Hell... I mean Rio Grande City (snicker) TEXAS for the past month. He left march 30 and will return the 30th of April.It's no fun for him being gone a month, but He's keeping our country safe from cartel, drug smugglers, human traffickers and weapons dealers.  Juggling all the kids stuff, family life and a business alone has been a challenge. Thankfully Gloria was able to come help  with our crazy life for a week.

2. Taryn is Pima County Outstanding Teen. she competes for the state title in June. She is helping raise money for Childrens Miracle Network as part of it- if you wan to donate, visit her FB page for the link

3. Haedyn fell off his bike on March 30.  Normally we ice & teat and he's all better by morning. Unfortunately, along with his hemophilia he has developed an Inhibitor. This means his body attacks and rejects the medication (recombinate) we give him intravenously that is supposed to replace clotting factor. Because he "kills it off" the majority of what he get, he has to have HUGE doses. Also since this is recent- we are just figuring out with each new injury what treatment will work best for him. Its a huge guessing game.  This time his body just wouldn't heal. On day 5 he got xrays because he couldn't bear any weight, on day 8 he was in a wheelchair, day 17 he had MRI on day 20 he had made progress and was in a leg stabilizer and now he's back to running around. It took 15 days of IV treatment- Sunshine managed to stick a vein 90% of the time, the first time. even when we started running out of veins.

4. Ffiona Joined Turkish club at school. She's learning turkish this semester, but is super excited about the Club field trip with all her friends to Las Vegas next weekend. They are competing at the International Turkish Cultural dance and Language Festival.  She practices 2 days a week after school and then has a friday night sleepover/practice at the Turkish Cultural center. Not only did she pick up the dancing fast, she's now got the only solo in their competition piece. 

 5 . Taryn is a member of the Ceili team that competed at the 2014 World Championship LONDON. Taryn and Sunshine went to London for a week for the competition. The team didn't place, but held their own and looked fantastic on that prestigious stage.

6. Taegan had a bit of a struggle this month since having Dad gone all month to TX, Mom gone to London, Grandma coming to help out and Haedyn home all day for 2 weeks really threw off her schedule. With her ADHD and  other issues, she has a hard time when things are different. Hopefully her new routine, therapies and different meds will help her be able to get along better. She is very excited to be as tall as grandma now

7. Hyun is getting all geared up to Graduate this year - YAY class of 2014!!! He's still waiting to hear back from schools and still trying to decide the best course of action to implement his plan for world domination- we will keep you posted..... or maybe he will just surprise you- mwahahahahaha!!!

8. I got younger in London. apparently world  travel makes you younger. ;)  Business has continued to pick up, to the point that I need to start hiring staff.  Hopefully May will calm down a little???- NAHHHHH- I seriously doubt it.
