Yesterday the kids and I enjoyed the beautiful spring weather in Wisconsin at River Bend Nature Center. We enjoyed hiking many different trails and saw a few different animals in their element....wild turkeys, deer, turtles, woodpecker to name a few.
We sure enjoyed the fresh air, quiet of the woods and time together. I brought the camera along but somehow failed to use it...so the pictures below are borrowed from their website.
Yesterday afternoon Darien and I took Taryn up to Children's Hospital in Milwaukee to see a hematologist. Taryn has anemia that appears to be related to an iron deficiency. We have been treating her under the care of our pediatrician in town but Taryn has been slow in responding to traditional therapy therefore our pediatrician referred her to a hematologist. We were impressed with the care Taryn received. We will know more this week as her diagnostic tests are in process.
Taryn's little health issue has been a reminder to our family to thank God for the gift of health we generally experience and to praise Him for how excellently He has woven our bodies together. Beyond this, it has been great to realize that even if Taryn did have a significant health issue (which we really don't believe is the case) that God is good and He is still to be praised. Each day we, as parents, are given the privilege of raising the next generation to love and reverence God it is an awesome gift and responsibility!
