Long Awaited Update!

WOW ALL.
So sorry we've not updated and posted for so long. We've had an incredibly hectic, busy, crazy in and out of the hospital 40 days. So here's the short version...
Good news first. We had a really good experience on Mothers Day. The girls were dedicated at Church on the Hill. Because of Allisons health, we considered postponing it, but left in up to God and Allison. She woke up that morning in a really good mood and lasted through the very short, sweet and to the point ceremony. She really enjoyed being back at church. It was also the first time she'd been out of the house besides hospital and dr's visits. Within about 5 minutes of it being over, she made it clear that she wanted to go home. Keala was her normal rambunctious self thru the whole thing but we wouldnt have it any other way.
On the other side of the coin, Allison has been in and out of the hospital a couple times since our last post. The latest was last week for a 3 day stay due to a fever and a bowel impaction. They were able to take care of the bowel problem but the fever remained unexplained. All of the blood cultures came back negative (good) but that left us without an answer (bad). Then we get home and the next day, both girls have sores in their mouths. Cause? Hand, foot and mouth disease. Hence Allisons now explainable fever. Thats the first indicator of this disease, usually 1-2 days in advance of the blisters. This little virus usually tends to affect only kids between 1 and 4 yo. Which is the reason Keala ended up getting the worst of this one. She's still really uncomfortable. Shes got blisters on her hands, feet, bottom and inside her mouth. Allison has a couple in her mouth and thats it.
We are barely surviving Jeffs rotation on graveyard. No longer will this be a chosen shift. We have realized that it is absolutely impossible for us to work as a family team when dad is either asleep or grumpy. Only 5 more weeks though! And 1 of those is vacation.
Thanks for checking in, and thanks for all the prayers.
