Well Kaydee definitely had quite a summer. Like Cancun was not enough for her.
In June she had a friend come visit her for a few days. Then July 7th she left for her final year of Young Women's girl camp. It was in LA and she has been attending since she was 12. She had a great time hanging out with her friends, and teaching the younger girls some camping skills.
She returned home on Saturday, July 11th, went to visit her dad in the hospital, (where we filled her in on what had happened during the week) and then home to do laundry and repack.
Sunday morning at 6 am, Kaydee and I flew to Idaho where we met up with the girls and Kaydee was finally able to meet Kassie's boyfriend Joe. She thought she was gonna be tough and scare him away, but she just couldn't get that tough talk going.
Monday morning, we met up with some good friends, and dropped Kaydee and Jeanette off at Especially For Youth at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg for the week, and I drove to Salt Lake to fly back home.
Kaydee had a great time at EFY. She was able to meet some wonderful kids and have her testimony strengthened. However, little did we know that between Girls camp and EFY, Kaydee's body would wipe out with a more serious effect.
After EFY was over, she was put in the care of Kellie and Alex. For 2 days she hung out with the girls and had a great time. However....
Monday July 20th, I received a somewhat panicked phone call from Kellie. She informed me that Kaydee had be shaking and jerking uncontrollably for about an hour. She said it looked like seizures but she was fully conscience. So what was a mother to do but to tell them to get her to ER immediately. So a trip to the hospital they went. They immediately gave her seizure medications and also found that she had Bronchitis. But this being in Rexburg Idaho, did not know what else to do, so they sent Kaydee home telling her to follow up with her doctor for more testing. Kaydee ended up seizuring for 4 1/2 hours!!!
Since I could not get to Idaho, Grandma and Grandpa left early Tuesday Morning to help out with Kaydee. (oh yes, this was finals week for the kids).
Wednesday we were all together and Kaydee managed to get enough energy to attend Kellie's Graduation festivities....
Upon returning home, marked that her summer would soon be coming to an end. And College life will start up again.
Next week, she will start back up at College of the Mainland. A JR. College here close to home. She is excited to have a good friend of her's in a few of her classes!
And with this, Summer is over...
