#3 and #4

Nate's hospital saga continues- he was admitted last Monday (just 24 hours) to bring his calcium back down- the doctors are rather mystified about all of that. Nate's always been a medical mystery, honestly.

Mid-week he got sick with a few random symptoms that (apparently) weren't connected. By Sunday evening one of them escalated to the point we took him into the hospital. While checking his labs they discovered that his sodium levels were high, off the charts. So now we're back at the hospital, for the fourth time in three months. Nate is responding well to treatment, but started running a fever.  He will probably be here for most of the week.

Rusty's parents are coming to help him with the kids- such a huge blessing!

Other "home" news- despite wild swings in temperatures, the chickens are doing well!  Stella the gecko "ran away" the other night but we found him after a very careful search of the living room. Phew!  Hyrum, Hannah and Naomi are doing fine. And with Grandma and Grandpa's help, Rusty will be doing okay (poor guy!). Every time he has scheduled a certain filming trip, Nate has gone to the hospital and Rusty had to cancel. We are thinking it's jinxed. Hopefully he will be able to go anyway this week!  It'll be a couple days (overnight) so hopefully the kids behave for Grandpa and Grandma.

That's all for now. Thanks for all the prayers, they really do help!
