On March 7, 2013, our middle child, Parker Magnus, turned the big 5!! He is so excited to be a kindergartener next year. That's all he can talk about these days. He woke up to presents and a tractor cake. He had a great birthday celebration at school, then Nana picked him and the other kids up and took them to Wendy's for frosties and fries. She then had a party for him at her house. I had parent conferences all day and Matt was working, but Nana sure made up for it. Auntie Sarah and Jason joined in on the fun and bought him Skylanders for our Wii. He had a birthday party with his friends on the "Fun on Wheels" bus. This is a gymnastics bus that goes around to local schools and teaches kids gymnastics. I think he had a pretty great day.
Update on Mr. Mikkelson: He continues to be great!! He's not happy with the amount of weight the steroids have allowed him to put on...25 lbs. since his surgery. Hopefully, now that he is lowering his steroids, his weight will go down also. He continues to drink a lot of liquids to quench his thirst and dry mouth. He's trying to only consume water and not many sugary drinks. He kept track yesterday, and he used the restroom 22 times from the time of waking up. This definitely puts a crimp in his days having to go to the bathroom so much. He will be tested again for diabetes incipidus at the Kidney Center here in Idaho Falls next week. As long as he continues to input as much as he is outputting, then there is no problem. I'll update again when we have more information.
