Doctor/Vet visits

Since Vikki's birthday things have been crazy with her and Oliver.
Thursday, August 19th, Vikki stepped on Oliver while they were making the bed.  This was at 11:30 p.m. and when Adam got home, it was off to urgent care for Oliver.  No long bones were broke on Oliver, so he got two shots and we all headed home.  After calling Oliver's vet Friday morning, he went in for some x-rays.  At 1:00 p.m., Vikki got the call that Oliver had a fractured elbow and he needed surgery.  At 2:00 p.m., Oliver went in for surgery to have 6 pins inserted in his elbow to realign the two bones that were fractured.  After an hour and a half surgery Oliver was out and doing good.  Saturday, we picked Oliver up and got the report that he is doing great, but will need to be give medication for the next two weeks.  Oliver will need to be in for check-ups every two weeks for the next three months.
Vikki has been having some health issues once again and it looks like we will be visiting the doctors more frequently.  Vikki's white blood cell count and hemoglobin have been low, so yesterday they gave her a booster shot, Neulasta.
Today, Vikki had a CT & MRI and they found a golf-ball size mass in her liver.  There will be a biopsy some time this week to determine if it is cancerous.  If it is, she will start chemo and radiation on Monday.  If it is not, then we will be doing bi-monthly visits to the doctor.

Our visit home & Vikki's birthday

Taylor and Vikki during birthday dinner!

At the family reunion!
On August 13th, we got in the car and headed up to Michigan. The trip was an amazing ride for the two of us. We were heading up for Adam's family reunion and Vikki's birthday celebration with her family and friends.
Friday night we enjoyed dinner with Coach and Mrs. Campbell. It was nice to catch up with them.
Saturday morning we headed out to Camp Dearborn for the Kaczmarczyk Family Reunion. Everyone was surprised to see us seeing as no one knew that we were coming. We came in second place to Adam's sister and cousin in the Ladder Ball tournament.
Saturday evening we went to Vikki's birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse and bowling at Vision Lanes. It was a great time with family and friends.
Sunday we spent the day with Adam's family and had a great time relaxing.
On August 16th, we headed back home. We made it home with 15 minutes to spare before we had to head off to softball. We did win the softball game 14-12.

Vikki spent her birthday with our friends Kim and Thomas. Birthday dinner was pizza from Papa Murphy's and Kim made a cake for dessert. The Smokies were at home, so Adam was at work all day.
Vikki's birthday party was celebrated at Smokies Park on August 20th. There were a lot of good friends there to help celebrate with her.
Overall, Vikki had an amazing birthday celebration!
