I love this picture!!

Today we went to my nephew Benjamin's baptism! I remember when he was born now he is eight, wow how time flys!! We drove up with Jill and her kids and yes for once I was ready to go before Jill she was the late one HA! She hates being late and whenever we go anywhere together she tells me.. Jennifer you know how I hate being late so please be ready then calls me like five times to make sure I'm going to be ready!(and I never am!) On the way up there was this huge piece of wood in the middle of the freeway that we ran into and it messed up the tire on Jill's car but luckily no flat!(that is the reason for the picture of the tire) After the baptism all the kids played on the grass and ate lunch it was a really nice day out I can feel fall coming I'm so excited I love fall! I filled out my application for UVU today I'm excited to go back to school in January! I have decided to go into nursing which I'm So excited about!!

My Girls Genetic Disorder Tyrosinemia Type 2

Type II tyrosinemia is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme tyrosine aminotransferase encoded by the gene TAT. Tyrosine aminotransferase is the first in a series of five enzymes that converts tyrosine to smaller molecules, which are excreted by the kidneys or used in reactions that produce energy. This form of the disorder can affect the eyes, skin, and mental development. Symptoms often begin in early childhood and include excessive tearing, abnormal sensitivity to light (photophobia), eye pain and redness, and painful skin lesions on the palms and soles. About half of individuals with type II tyrosinemia are also mentally retarded. Type II tyrosinemia occurs in fewer than 1 in 250,000 individuals.
Dr Longo informed us that there are less that 100 cases of tyrosinemia type 2 reported worldwide. I have four of them.. I am so thankful that Presley was diagnosed when she was (at 13months) and that Sam, Dylann and Hadley were diagnosed at birth. They are on a low-protein diet and are doing great!!
