Camping at Home

On July 7th and 8th, we were going to go camping. But two things happened. First, we had taken Eliza in a week before to get some blood tests done for diabetes because she was drinking and peeing so much. The preliminary tests all came back negative for diabetes, but the extended blood test came back with seriously messed up numbers for sodium and a few other things. So on Thursday, we had to take Eliza in to the lab again for more tests with the possibility of having a same day appointment with a kidney specialist because the low sodium levels indicated a problem with her kidneys.

Then, it started raining midday and never stopped. We found out by about three or four in the afternoon that Eliza wouldn't be seeing the specialist and all her recent labs were coming back normal. But with the rain, we couldn't go anyway.

So, we decided to have a campout at home.

Corey roasted marshmallows over the stove and we made s'mores.



We let the kids sleep in their sleeping bags on the floor of their room.

The kids loved the idea of "camping" in their room. And the s'mores were quite delicious.
