Update on the boys

Well John and Alex have been at Boy Scout Camp since Sunday. Yes it started on Father's Day, John did not complain about it so I guess he was okay with it. He did schedule his vacation so he could go.

John has not been very happy about camp since he got there though. He is used to going camping and lounging around while the boys do their programs. Not this time, this time it is for an entire week and he is in leader training in the morning and then another leader training program in the afternoon.

On the second night he calls panicked over Alex. John would never say panicked over his son, but I will and he never reads my blog so it's okay. But he was. Alex has Chiari Malformation level I and when he is over excited (in anyway) for long periods he gets a headache and sick to his stomach to the vomit stage. If you have experienced the joys of having your spinal column pricked and you drain spinal fluid from your system and your brain sinks in your skull and the pain and agony of that comes over you, then you would know how sick Alex can get. (no he does not loose fluid but it circulates so fast it causes the same feelings). So---with the heat (95+* with heat advisories in the 100's) and the excitement, guess who got sick and guess who isn't around when he does get sick, you got it.

After a couple a calls and me calling the emergency line to camp, John drove home Monday night, they came home to the AC. Alex finally took some pain killers and slept. Like fantastic troopers they went back on Tuesday morning. They have been down there since and John drove out of camp today to call and check in with me (there is no signal in the woods where the camp/ranch is). He also just needed to get away from the mayhem, he does not like crowds and large masses of people bunched together.

We (Rhi and I) go down tomorrow for Family night. I am really looking forward to it, so is Rhi. It is going to be a long day, school, then a 2 hour drive and a couple of hours at camp and 2 hours back home. It will be well worth it. John has requested Pizza for dinner, it's a visiting family bring food night.

So nutshell time,
to camp, sick at camp, camp not what daddy expected, home to sleep in AC, back to camp, hot - hot - hot - heat warnings all week, so far that's it. They come home on Saturday sometime.

Rhi has two more days of summer school, I have 6 weeks left. Anyone know how to teach me not to freeze up on tests?

I'll have pictures of camp later.
