A Day of Gratitude

Today is a day for us to be especially grateful for our many blessings.

#1 - Emily ate pasta with homemade pesto on it last night and had a severe allergic reaction. Heather thinks it was the pine nuts. Emily quickly got big red blotches all over her neck and face and was scratching her neck - her eyes got puffy but, she did not have any respiratory distress. They took her to a medical clinic that is about 5-10 minutes away from their house and the doctor treated her immediately with steroids and the reaction subsided. They will keep her on antihistamines for a few days and take her to her pediatrician in 2 weeks for testing. She has had other nuts before but not pine nuts. Thank goodness Heather was quick thinking with the Benadryl. What a scare!

#2 - Carlos & Megan flew into Las Vegas this morning to join us here at Zion Canyon. The 5:00 am flight was wide open so they figured they would have no problems. When they arrived at the airport there were 30 people on the list to fly free! Apparently SWA was having a "Spirit Day" in Vegas and many employees were going. Somehow they lucked out and got on the flight and will be here for a late lunch! The travel gods were with them!

#3 - I got my first Social Security check (actually, not a check but a direct deposit into my account) today! The correct amount on the correct day! Nice to know the government does some things right!
