We had high hopes for last Wednesday. Andrew's brother had called and said they would be in town, while on their way to spend summer in Australia, and wanted to see us. We had plans to meet up in Livermore and go spend the afternoon hiking and swimming at Del Valle park. These were good plans.

Unfortunately, Travis woke up sick that morning, with the barfies. I thought we could still do it, I would just take the kids down to meet everyone else, then come back to take care of Travis. His body had other plans. After a few hours of him throwing up, it became apparent that he needed medical intervention. I consulted with his Endocrinologist team, and it was decided that he needed to make a trip to the ER. This ruined out plans with Dan's family. Fortunately they were understanding, and just came out to our place to spend some time together. The girls were happy and just excited to get to see their cousins.

It turned out that Travis was starting into Diabetic Ketoacidosis. 6 hours in the ER, a few bags of saline, things turned around and he was feeling better.

We all went out for dinner and the kids had lots of fun playing together while the adults talked for hours. We were glad to get to see them all, since they won't be in Utah when we go next week.
