The Dastrups would appreciate any prayers that you could send our way today. Brigham is currently in Philadelphia taking Step 2 part 1001 or whatever it is of the boards today. After today, he is DONE with everything here at Hopkins-- as long as he passes. So he could use some prayers-- especially because he didn't get much sleep last night due to a fiasco that we'll have to describe another time. Also, Jacob, who was completely healthy 2 days ago, might be in the hospital by tonight. He came down with Publisha cold yesterday, and today he's wheezing and having a lot of trouble breathing. I took him in this morning, and our pediatrician said that if it were anyone else, he would send them to the hospital. As it is, he put Jacob back on steroids, and if he's not improved by about 2 pm, we're headed down to Hopkins. So please pray that he will get better soon! Thanks! We appreciate your support!

Poor little Jacob. He doesn't deserve to be sick yet again. :-( Package up his cold and send it to Grandpa G. I'll take it for him. Breaks my heart. I have all the confidence in the world in Brigham. Keep us informed on Jacob and with how Brigham feels he did. When do you find out the results of these board exams?

Just a random thought...could Jacob pick up his bugs at whatever place you go to do these medical tests (allergy)?

Jacob didn't go with me to the allergy clinic. My guess is that he picked it up at the pediatrician's office when he went there on Tuesday to have some blood work done. Unfortunately, we can't keep him in a bubble.

Poor little Jacob. After reading that blog it makes anything I felt like putting on the blog seem unimportant.
I'm not worried about Brigham-- he'll pass with flying colors like always
You guys are in our prayers

Cambrie, it doesn't have to be important. It's just nice to hear everyone's experiences, no matter how insignificant.

Oh, I hate to hear that Jacob is struggling again. I have been there when he did that and the memory of it is seared in my brain forever! I will definitely pray for both of them. But Brigham will do great.

Ditto to what Kim said Cambrie. Helps me to feel not so far away to get little updates from you kids regularly! Keep em coming!

I'm no longer "un-officially engaged". That's right. Your teasing and blunt hinting is old news. You all know the big news. No definite date yet, but it's looking like beginning to mid-July. *sigh* Long time. It actually works out great to do it then for when Katie's parents come home and Brigham's school stuff. I told Christa I'd put up pictures on here, but I realized I don't actually have many pictures. Mom and Dad have a few. These are a couple of pictures Pictures taken with my phone today. Better pictures coming, I'm sure.

Update on Me (if anybody cares) The Dr's office called yesterday and said they'd scheduled an appointment for discussing taking care of my thyroid through radiation. I said OK. Then, the Radiologist called me an hour later and said he wanted to do it over the phone, and give me the radiation treatment today. So I talked with him for quite a while. He says I have Graves disease (updated : I previously said White's disease), and highly recommended the radiation treatment, although there are a couple of other options. After weighing out the options, I've decided to go ahead and do the radiation treatment, because it doesn't completely kill the thyroid. It just severely hurts it. I'll be taking a good dose of Iodine-131 , which has the sideaffect of not being around my unborn baby for a while, which in turn means staying away from Erica. That won't be fun.
