. . . . . . School Year Winding Down

I am amazed that school is almost over for the year. My elementary kids only have 4 days left and my preschooler, Casen, "graduated" today! This week Trenden was in the Math and Science Olympiad, having earned a spot for being the best fifth grader in his math "sport". What wonderful celebrations of these great kids! Enjoy the pictures!

Ah, now to await the days of summer! :)

Congratulations on Casen's graduation from preschool, and Trendon on earning recognition for being the best fifth grader in his Math sport. We've had several celebrations between Andrew and Chelsea in the past few weeks. Andrew received ribbon awards and promotion to Staff Sargent in JROTC at KHS. Chelsea's art works received recognition and displayed at school's art show. Its been a fun school year for them, as well as for Savannah. They all made wonderful transitions to their new home, schools, and community. They are happy! Savannah will attend summer school for math and super excited about it as she gets to have breakfast and lunch at school!
Also Congratulate Lindy on a great school year, too!! Hugs, Carolyn; May 24, 2010 at 1:26 AM

Jodi's Story

Jodi Orgill Brown and Tolan Brown married in 1996 and together have 4 beautiful children, Trenden, Lindi, Casen and Daven, who make every day worth living.

Jodi was diagnosed with a brain tumor in April of 2009 after months of suffering from debilitating symptoms. Though 9 doctors declared her tumor was inoperable because of it's location on the brainstem, hope was not lost. One team of specialists at the University of Utah Hospital agreed to operate and remove the tumor. The first surgery was successful in removing as much of the tumor as was possible. However, complications from the surgery caused a debilitating and life-threatening spinal fluid leak, which resulted in 2 more brain surgeries and a 5-week hospitalization and fight for life.

Jodi is now "in recovery" from a dificult round 1, and has many complications and side effects, including partial facial paralysis, loss of hearing in her right ear, complications with her eye, depth perception, sight and headaches, but still has lots of love, help, hope, miracles and angels around her everyday!
