Good news today!

Yesterday Jeff and I went to the doctor for my check-up. Everything looked good and we heard the baby's heart beat. The doctor also told us that I'm farther along than what we thought. I'm close to 12 weeks. Which makes us happy. I just need to get past 13 weeks and we will be great!!!

Up date!!

Syd's surgery has been scheduled. She will be having it on Jan. 6th. We are going to on fast Sunday and we would like every one to join in. Please remember her in your prayers. Thank you!

Love,
Jeff, Kandiss, Nat, and Syd

Syd's update

On Monday we saw the Neurosurgeon and Sydney is going to need surgery. When he showed us the MRI's you see that there is pockets of fluid in her spinal cord. Also there is not much room where the cerebellum and spinal cord are. We are probably going to do the surgery at the first of the year. So that's the update for now. We will keep you posted!!!

Bad news!

Yesterday was kind of a bad day. Sydney had a MRI to find out why she has been having headaches. The pediatrition called and told us that she has Chiari I Malformation. When he told us I lost it. Chiari I malformation is an abnormality in the lower part of the brain called the cerebellum. There are several differnt forms. Sydney has Chiari I and this is the most common type. Most cases of Chiari are congenital, meaning they are present from birth.
I am really scared at this point. Jeff and I went to the temple last night and I left feeling good. I know every thing is going to be ok and that this is something that we are going to have to go through.
I am going give a web site so you guys can go and check it out. It has alot of info on the doctor that we are going to see on Monday. His name is Dr. John Kestler. Also there is good info about what she has.
Here's the web site http://neurosurgery4kids.net/.
Thank you everybody for your love and support. We are going to need alot of prayers.

Love,
Kandiss, Jeff, Nat, and Sydney

Nana was in town

My mom was here for the last few days. She flew in on Sunday night and went home on Wednesday. While she was here it was so nice cause we got to spend a lot of time together. I am so proud of my mom. She is such a rock and is so strong!!! I think that through every thing she has been through with grandma and trying to take care of her self she has stayed strong. Considering, she looks so good. I just want her to know that I love her and she is my hero.

Murder Mystery

Jeff and I went to a Murder Mystery party last Saturday. Jeff was the Dark Hunter and he worked for Lord Byron. He hunted for anyone that he was post to kill. Also him and I had a secret relationship going on. I was Yass Mean and I was the founder of Women of the Underworld. She wanted to be the head of the Vampire Court. Also wanted to have the women on top. While we were eating were to talk amongst our selves and try to figure out who killed Lord Byron the head of the Vampire Court. We had a blast!!!

Happy Halloween

So we decided to go to Kristi's house for Halloween. The kids had a ton of fun trick or treating with Kenna. Syd was done was she got her favorite treat (rice crisy treat). Nat wanted to keep going as long as Kenna was going. She tried so hard to be big like her. We had a blast. Thanks Kristi for the food and fun!
