A celebration and a scare

May 24th = Dave Hinshaw's b'day


Harlan and I started going out to breakfast on the day after Har's birthday as the 24th was Dave Hinshaw's birthday. Dave and Jude were famous for their breakfasts and brunches. So in honor of Dave we go out to eat and remember what a great guy he was. It's been many years that he's been gone but his influence still remains. His humor and his talent are remembered fondly. This year we ate at the Cadillac Cafe in NE Portland. 



The fresh flowers at the Cadillac are always so beautiful!
I've never seen this sort of credit card receipt before. I've always had the card number x-ed out but never my name. I guess it would be a bit difficult to deduce someones name from those letters and x-es. I just find it weird.
A trip to the ER


Garrett gave several people a scare on Sunday at church. He had what they figured was a seizure while he was in class. By the time Joylynn got to him his eyes were fluttering and when he woke up he seemed confused for a little while. A doctor that attends church there took his temp and blood sugar levels right after the episode and his temp was 103 but was soon down to normal.
Har, Hayden and I got up to the hospital as soon as we could. By that time Garrett was so done with being there and having to sit in a bed that wasn't his "race car bed". He insisted that he get his clothes on and get out of there.
The doctor thought the seizure was brought on by a spike in temperature due to a viral infection. He said it's really not that unusual. It's not something Joylynn or I have ever dealt with before though.
Garrett will follow up with his pediatrician later in the week but there isn't much concern at this point.
A stop at the vending machine on the way out











Wyatt, Genevieve and Danika were sitting in the tiny exam room with Joylynn and Garrett when we got there. It was nice for them to go out and hang out with Grampa and Uncle Hayden.  They had gotten some snacks and finally it was Garrett's turn. Poor guy was hungry after all that trauma.
Fruit snacks were just the thing to cheer him up.
We're all relieved to have him back to his silly self.

Tyler had that kind of seizure once when Kisha and I lived with Brynn and the little guy. It was scary, but thankfully he was a-ok, too. Im so glad he had some immediate help and that he's okay!
