Second year Day 169 - Friday May 31, 2013

Of course, Mark and I aren't together today for our 33rd anniversary, which was a bummer.  As we all learn in life, you do what you have to do--you take care of the needful things.  When I get home we will plan to spend some time together and celebrate a little late.  After we saw Faith today, we grabbed some dinner to go and headed out on a little excursion, because everyone was feeling good and getting a little restless.  About 20 minutes away there is the Freemont State Indian Park (I think that's what it's called!) and we drove there and looked as some of the pictographs and a little old cabin.  Arrianne and Stephany hiked up the side of a hill to some to the writings and took pictures while I stayed with Bridgett.  Afterwards we drove about 10 minutes further to the Big Rock Candy Mountain. We got some pictures and then hit the gift shop.  The girls picked out some cool rocks that look like Kryptonite and Bridgett got a necklace.  I got some nifty books with pioneer stories in them.  It will be fun reading them aloud to the kids.  About the time that we got to Big Rock Candy Mountain, Bridgett started feeling dreadful.  She looked dreadful too.  She was so nauseated and just not feeling good. I gave her Zofran and that helped somewhat. Then after we got back to the hotel, Bridgett started feeling really terrible.  She began to have some really strong pain in the chest, lungs, heart, throat (trach) and kidneys. I sent a text to Faith and she let us run over about 9:30 at night and she worked on Bridgett.  All of this pain is coming from the brain not the organs themselves.  Some of it is just working out of the body since the wreck.  It was interesting that Bridgett told me that her heart felt like someone was twisting it and when we got to Faith's, she said that Bridgett's brain was untwisting from that side to side motion from the wreck.  I told her about Bridgett's description of her heart pain, which was the same.  Weird, right!  Anyway, as soon as she started working on the brain, the terrible pain stopped immediately.  Faith showed up two places by the ear where we could use the tuning forks--the right frequency one.  I'm so glad that Arri was here to help.  She did the tuning forks all the way to Monroe from Richfield while I drove.  It was quite the night!  Of course, all of this makes me nervous about leaving after our appointment tomorrow morning.  Hummmmmm.......
