The Laughing Warrior Lost His Laugh!

Laughter is priceless.

Last Night Isaac informed me that he had lost his laugh. I asked Isaac how he lost his laugh and he told me that everytime he trys to laugh, all he can do is cough. I had to hold back my laugh and try to be serious as well as everyone else in the family cause it was so cute. A little while ago, Isaac laughed while watching TV and was excited his laugh came back, however, he just told me it is lost again.
If you ever loose your voice, know that Isaac understands because he lost his laugh. Although Isaac still has croup, I am thankful at least that I haven't lost my laugh.

Here We Go Round' The Croup Cycle Again

POP! goes the steroid pills .....
I'm sorry for the sarcasm, but I'm a little frustrated with the Croup again for the third round since May first. On top of that, I have been in bad shape with my dizzy spells caused from my extreme mold allergies. So I'm moody. I have been so busy with poor health for the last few days that my home is going to pot and it gets me frustrated looking at it and not feeling good enough to deal with it. I am finally improving with the dizziness, I am hoping that it continues to get better. I hope my mood improves soon, I am very short tempered.
One thing good that happened today was Isaac's Cardiology visit. Dr. Puchalski said Isaac's tricuspid valve is leaking the same as it was last time he checked, therefore it is not getting any worse. We will see the Cardiologist in a year for his next scheduled visit. I hope everything with Isaac's heart runs smoothly for the next year.
Tomorrow is Isaac's last day of preschool, Hooray! However, at the rate he's coughing tonight he might not even attend. Brianna is also suffering with the croup & Asthma Attacks today. I will probably be up around three in the morning again tonight.

Croup still here

Yesterday Isaac woke up struggling to breathe, Immediately we did a cold saline breathing treatment which helped. I spent a couple of hours at the doctor getting a prescription for him. He still is coughing today troubled with Flem. It is a chilly and rainy day, we hope for sun tomorrow. Isaac's preschool class is scheduled for a field trip to Wheeler Farm tomorrow.

1 fruit+1 fruit = 2 Fruit

Isaac just came home from preschool today and he told me "I ate grapes today and they were yummy!" WOW!! Until now, the only fruit Isaac would eat was a Banana. Now Isaac eats 2 fruits. I was so excited I told him I would put it on his blog.

Isaac's Sea World Wish was Chose by Salt Lake Parade of Homes, Peterson Homes for theme of a child's Bedroom

Make-A-Wish called on April 1st to tell us that Isaac was chosen by one of the Salt Lake Parade of Homes builders (Peterson Homes). On May 1st we met with the builder for dinner at Make-A-Wish. KSL channel five was there and we played a game and got to know each other better. It was a fun filled evening. Everyday since that Isaac begs to go to Make-A-Wish, they totally spoil him. He came home with so much loot that night it seemed like he had another birthday. The room reveal will be on July 27th.

Also on Thursday afternoon, Isaac had a mild case of Croup that lasted for a couple of days. I hope this means his Croup episodes will get milder as time goes by.

"Now All The Monkeys Aren't In The Zoo

Everyday YOU Meet Quite A Few"

Isaac went to the Zoo with his Preschool Class Today. The weather was pretty nice, and I got in some great exercise (The zoo has a lot of hills everywhere). Isaac enjoyed the ride most of the time in his wheelchair/stroller. We had a short visit at the zoo and had to move quickly to see most of it.

If you have time check out Lauren's blog linked from here, she worked VERY hard on the science fair and did a wonderful project. Her LAME teacher (the nicest words I could find). Said it was BAD because she thought it didn't have anything to do with weather and thought it was all about Space (4th grade curriculum is required) Anyway read it and judge for yourself. We are mad as heck because she worked so hard and did a beautiful job and her teacher didn't have one nice thing to say. If you have time leave Lauren a comment, she hardly gets any visits. We are anxious to finish the school year and move on to the next, I know her Teacher next year will be much better (we already met her and love her).

Isaac & Zippy

Isaac loves his Teddy Bear named "Zippy" and Zippy loves Isaac. They both have hearts on the "Right" side and zipper scars on their chests. They are both also cuddly, soft, and full of love. Isaac's letter of the week was "Z" so he took Zippy to school for show and tell. However, the other kids in school don't really know Isaac is much different than they are on the inside (which is kind of good for now, although it is not a secret).
