Pipes are a Pain Sometimes

Well today I went out to give the livestock some water and part way through I had no pressure. I thought gosh that is strange, well I am super thankful that my husband had been right there fixing the fence because I blew the pipe he had just fixed. Gosh darn thing!
So we finished up the fence, hauled water to the animals and then later ran to town for better glue and a fitting to help with this repair. I am happy to say in the future I can turn this black knob to shut the back water off and still have water to the house if it happens again. Good to know..

Track Season

We have had some unusually cold weather here in Texas. I don't really care for it. I was a little surprised the other morning when we had a pretty good amount of sleet and the weather was 25 degrees out that the kids were running. I think that this has caused our kiddos some issues since they truly are not used to these conditions. Zekaryah has been complaining of major shortness of breath, to the point of some heart pressure and also passing out. He has also been complaining of his ankles, back and one of his legs.
We have been doing some physical therapy for MeKenzei so it has been hard to get Zekaryah into the dr.. Paul finally came home from his business trip to Ohio so I scheduled appointments for both of them, since Mekenzei's PT is right across the hall. I was happy to see the dr was taking this seriously because it didn't feel like it was otherwise. She did a heart reading, and also some oxygen readings. He will start using an inhaler before running each time and also is going into the PT for an adjustment. Will have to see if we progress with some xrays for him as well since that is the next course of action for MeKenzei. I am hoping the inhaler will help him with his oxygen levels and the adjustment to his legs  and back will not only help him feel better but breath better. I think these kiddos pushed too hard during cross country.
