Rasmania 102

I mentioned last week that Zack needed a helmet.  He doesn't seem to mind it too much. The first picture is Foster with a neighbor's dog.  She's obviously not scared of it at all.  Since Jennie cuts hair in my home, Foster is getting well aquainted with her grandparents.  She always seeks me out when she arrives at my home.  Yesterday I gave her these magnets to entertain her.  At first I watched her very closely because if she puts them in her mouth she could choke or swallow a magnet.  She wasn't at all interested in tasting them, but she played with them for about 45 minutes. Memorial Day On Memorial Day we remember our loved ones that have passed away, and we remember those who have given their lives for the freedom of our country.  We also play because Roy doesn't have to work.  We'll make an effort to get to the graves of those we love as time goes on this summer (Caitlyn lives right by the Bountiful Cemetery which is calm, peaceful and...

This letter was meant to be published May 19, 2024 I was thinking this morning that I didn't have much to share this week, but after looking at my pictures and talking to Roy, I realized I would have a reason to sit down and write after all. As school is wrapping up for all of our grandchildren, we are getting word of concerts, ball games, graduations, awards, etc.  We can't make it to everything, but we attempt to go to some of these activities.   Max made the honor roll this year.  His principal told Elise that Max had shown the most growth of all the students in the school this year.  We're proud of him. This is another picture of Beverly graduating from kindergarten  and one of her in her costume for her dance recital. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the Vance family in Layton to go through the Layton temple for the open house.  The Spirit was strong even though it hasn't been dedicated yet.  It's a beautiful temple with beautiful artw...

First, an undate on baby Zack Zack had an MRI on Friday.  The doctors were looking for any differences in the two sides of the brain that would indicate cerebral palsey.  The neurologists were worried because Zack has hypotonia in his core, but hypertonia in his legs.  The physical therapist told Crista she didn't think he could have cerebral palsey because his movements were symmetrical. The brain scan was encouraging because no differences were detected.  He did have a cyst between the lobes, which is concerning but not unusual; even in "normal" children.  They will watch the cyst to make sure it doesn't get larger because if it grows it could cause some problems with his eyesight.  They said they can treat it if that happens.  His brain looked normal.  Zack is also going to get a helmet this coming week to help with the shape of his head.  Because of his hypotonia (muscle weakness), he has had to lay on his back too often.  Crista tri...
