Daniel's 5 Month Anniversary! (and other news)

Today Daniel is 5 month post transplant! YEAH! We had labs drawn yesterday and his creatinine was great right at 0.6 and BUN was at 25. We should get prograf back sometime tomorrow, hopefully. He hasn't been feeling well today. Not eating or drinking well, acting a little lethargic, he even threw up....and the tube came up, too. So needless to say, he doesn' have his tube in and it will go back in later tonight before bed. Unfortunately he didn't get a whole day free of the tube (it came out at 5 pm) but he'll get a little reprieve. Kevin and a neighbor in our ward gave Daniel a priesthood blessing about 6 pm and 45 minutes later he is eating popcorn, drinking and acting his normal self! YEAH! I know the pristhood blessing made him better!
A few other updates: (I can't remember if I have typed this before.) Daniel is perfect on the potty training! Sammy actually went poop on the toilet today! We'll see if we can get Sammy on board with this pooping thing!
Sammy & Comptyn will be having their tonsils and adnoids out on Feb 18th. FUN! FUN! FUN! Sammy is at 7:30 am and Comptyn is at 8:15 am. We'll see how that goes. We leave 5 days later for Daniel's 6 month biopsy in California. So I am hoping they have quick recoveries and no complications. Grandpa and Grandma don't need anything else on their plates while here with the other kids!
Nathan's birthday was on Friday. He is now 5 years old! He is pretty excited to go to kindergarten this fall. I can't believe he is already 5! Below is a picture of him.

Ryan, Comptyn & Bryce all got new bikes. We have been telling them for 3 years that when they learn to ride a 2 wheel bike, we'll go buy them a new one. (All the bikes we have are garage sales! Plus the older ones are too big for the bikes! It looks silly!) Anyhow, at their school, the gym teacher has a class on bike riding and bike safety. So that is where they all learned! Kevin took the training wheels one a few Saturday's ago and they all 3 jumped on and rode away! So here are some pictures of them on their bikes: Bryce

This picture is the night of Nathan's birthday. Nathan, Daniel & Sammy were posing for pictures.

We have been teaching our kids (for Family Home Evening nights) from the "For the Strength of Youth" booklet that our church publishes. It teaches about standards that we all should live by (not just our youth) such as, accountability, modesty, language, honesty, etc. Anyhow, each of our kids have a copy and this is Daniel and Sammy singing songs from theirs. Notice Daniel's is upside down!
