My Uncle Matt

Five years ago today God saved my Uncle Matt's life. Working as a Sheriff's Deputy he was in a life threatening wreck that he almost lost his life to. I am so thankful that God allowed him to still be here with us today. When I first heard of the wreck and still to this day I don't know what I would do with out him. I am forever thankful that he can still be here with us and celebrate the holidays with us!!! I love you Uncle Matt!!!!

This episode

This episode of CVS has been very tough for me. I say that because all that I want to do is cry. I feel that way because I am so tired of this happening. With that I keep telling myself that God will help me get through all this. Lucky for me my mom has been here by my side for all of it. I don't know what I would do without her there during this episode because of how tough it has been for me. She will lay with me and will pray with me to try to make it better for me. Nobody is as special to me as my mom is during these times when I get sick.

All I want to do now is cry

Last Thursday started out like a normal day. I went to school for volleyball and to help out in band but I got a bad migraine. I called my mom and had her come get me because I started throwing up. Once I started throwing up I thought that it was one of my cyclic vomiting cycles. Then Friday came and I started to feel better so I just wrote it off. Saturday then came and me and mom went back to school clothes shopping and then I went to my Grandma Lynn's. I went to her house to learn how to sew. For my first project I made a bag. It was all going really good, then we decided to take a break to make minion cupcakes for my younger siblings for a surprise. They loved them. Sunday morning I woke up with a migraine and started throwing up again. I could not go to church so I came back to moms and slept. Today I thought I was over it and was making cookies and got sick again. I learned the hard way that I can not push my self like that ever again. That was a very tough lesson.

Here We Go Again

On Sunday morning I got up to go to church. To me it just seemed like a normal day until after lunch. I got a bad migraine witch turned into another one of my cyclic vomiting cycles. With this cycle though I am able to keep liquids down. That is not normal for me, and it surprised me. I am hydrated and ready to kick this cycle

Happy Birthday America

I know that I am a day late posting this but yesterday was so busy that I didn't get a chance too. Yesterday was so amazing and I had a great time spending the holiday with my family. I started out the day by taking my dog Kramer for a 1.3 mile walk around my neighborhood. The wind was blowing and it felt amazing and made it a lot more enjoyable. Once I got home I ate breakfast and enjoyed time with the family. We needed to get out and co pick up my sister from camp and then run a few more errands. When we got home we ate some lunch before going firework shopping. Once we got to the firework stand my dad gave each of us $20 to spend. I knew exactly what I was going to get with my money. I got lots of Roman candles and some smoke bombs. Roman candles are my favorite firework ever. While at the stand the owner came over and kept throwing things in. That was awesome because he gave us a lot of cool things. After shopping for fireworks we all came home and took a nap before going to our friends house to shoot off the fireworks that we got. We went to our long time friends house, for dinner and the fireworks. For dinner we had hotdogs and chips. The food was really good. After dinner we went outside and broke out the fireworks. It was so fun shooting fireworks and celebrating America's birthday! We shot all of our "small"  fireworks while it was still light outside and all of our "big" fireworks for when it was dark. That night I shot close to 30 Roman Candles!!! I also helped shoot off some of our bigger fireworks. After all the fireworks were over we went home and went to bed. I had a great time celebrating America's birthday with friends and family!!!

The Kansas City Farmers Market

Today I have my amazing mom up here in Kansas City with me. As a family we all went to the local farmers market. I loved going and seeing all of the fresh produce. It smelled amazing. My dad loves fresh honey and so when I saw it I had to get him some. After buying him something I bought my siblings some cookies, and my stepmom some of her favorite vegetables. Another thing that I got was some fresh basil, lemon basil, and some other produce.

My week in Kansas City

So this week I am in Kansas City, Kansas. I am up here to visit my family and hang out before summer sport practices start. I am so exited to be here with my family for the week and get away for a little bit. On Thursday we had a scare that I had started another one of my CVS episodes but it turns out that I had just eaten something that I was not supposed to. I am so thankful that it was just that and not another one of the episodes.This week is only half over and I am having an amazing time. On Sunday, I spent the night at my aunt and uncles house with my cousins. Me and my cousin Emma started to make hair bows. I used to not be a huge fan of bows but as I am get older. I loved the hair bows that I made. Monday morning I came back down the street to my grandparents house and cleaned up some. Although I got cleaned up, later that day I went swimming With more of my cousins at their neighborhood pool. I had a blast and enjoyed getting to hang out with my family even more. When I got home from swimming I took a quick shower so that I could help my grandma get dinner ready for when my grandpa got home. We had spaghetti and garlic bread. I love when my grandma cooks spaghetti!!! After dinner we all just hung out and watched T.V. together. On Tuesday, I just enjoyed a nice day at the house. I also did that on Wednesday. On Wednesday morning I took a nap in the living room chair and when I woke up I had a bad heat flash. With that I had my first headache since seeing the brain doctor and upping my night time medicine. I think upping my night time medicine has truly helped my headaches. I say that because I used to get a headache about 3 or 4 times a week. They weren't migraines but just dull long lasting headaches. This week I was supposed to be at the beach with my church, but because of CVS me and my family decided that it was in my best interest not to go. With how dehydrated I get with CVS and how fast it comes on we were afraid that I would be super dehydrated being in the Florida heat. I am grateful though to be spending the week with my grandparents here in my home town.
