Zoo

My mom and I took my boys to the zoo. I was a really nice way to kill a few hours. There was some baby monkey but the newest attraction was the Madagascar exhibit. There was a Fossa which for some reason I thought was like a very small Lion but it looked more like a large weasel. We found out that they are part of the marsupial family. Ryan really wanted to see the penguins so we went over there. I swear ever time we go and see the penguins all they ever so it stand by the door and stare at it. This was the first time I can remember seeing a penguin in the water swimming we even got to see it jump in the water. Later on at the zoo there was this giraffe just laying in the shade sitting so pretty and letting everyone take her picture. We made it almost all the way through the zoo when it starting raining so we decided to leave. My mom bought some Kettle Corn and it was so good I couldn't stop eating it. I felt like a little kid that if I didn't eat it as fast as I could that it would run away from me. Mom that stuff is so good but it's so evil.

Kaleb just turned 6 he asked for a King Cobra snake cake so I tried my best at making one. He had a great party he got a scooter which he has wanted for a long time. He thinks that because he is 6 he should go straight to 1st grade. He as lost 2 teeth on the bottom and one of his top teeth is getting lose. Kaleb's doing great and growing big.

Ryan is doing well. His asthma seems to be getting under control. The Doctor upping all of the medication as really seemed to help. I hope we can stay out of the hospitals for the rest of the year. All in all we are doing really good. We are hoping next month we can head up to Oregon to visit the family.

Update

Wow I have not posted anything in a long time. Well things are getting better. The doctor has upped all of Ryan's medicine, so far so good we will see if his oxygen levels come up since he was in the hospital in Feb. he's levels have been low. Kaleb is doing well he is such a bright young boy. He has been moved up to the advanced reading group in his class. Not bad for a kindergartner. Tony and I are great we will be celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary this Saturday. I can't believe that it's been 5 years already. Time fly's when your having fun.

Thank's

I just want to thank my family. I am so blessed to have such a great and loving family. I just wanted to say I Love Everyone! Yes, I said it I Love All of You!! With everything that has recently happened with Ryan everyone was there ready and willing to lend a hand. Thanks so much Andrea for taking care of Kaleb for me and getting to from school, and Kirk. I really appreciate it. Thanks Mom and Dad for your support I didn't even have to ask and you were there making sure I had everything I need for the long stay at the hospital. I can't believe how many calls I got saying if I needed anything at all to just call. And a big THANKS to everyone for your emotional support. Our family is really great we all are so lucky and so blessed. Because when anyone is in need we are all there ready to help. Thanks again and I love you all.

I want to go HOME

So on Monday Ryan was starting to have an asthma attack. I gave him his meds at home, his inhaler and abutoral through the nebulizer. After trying that to get his breathing under control only to find out that it didn't work. So off to the emergency room we when at about 3:30pm. While we were waiting in the waiting room they brought him an oxygen tank and started him a breathing treatment. For those of you who may not know a breathing treatment is abutoral, a normal treatment usually takes about 15 min. Well the ER treatments have abutoral and another med and they double the dose so it takes about 30 Min's to finish. So I am sitting in the waiting room with and oxygen tank and Ry on my lap doing the treatment. They said that he was wheezing and really tight they were not going to make him wait for the treatment. We were called back in about 20 Min's. Which made me feel kind of bad because I was called before other people that were there before me. We saw the Dr. really fast she listen to him looked at me and said you are staying. About 2 hours later we had our own room.

Ryan really wanted to just go home. I had to keep telling him once he gets better we can go home. On Wednesday morning he woke up and said I feel like I am going to puke. I grab the great pink buckets they have he turned his head the opposite way and up everything came. So not only could he not breath, he was losing fluids from both ends quicker than he could drink them. A new thing I found out was when you are breathing so fast the fluids you drink vaporize before your body can absorb them. So Ryan really didn't have a chance so that night they put an IV in to give him fluids. Lucky enough that really helped him and by Thursday at 4pm they let us go home. Ryan was napping while they paperwork was being filled out for us to leave that he didn't know. So when we were ready to walk out of there I woke him up and told him we were going HOME. All he could do was cry. I asked him why he was crying and all he could say was "I'm going HOME." I felt so bad for him the whole time we were in the hospital I don't think I could count how many times he asked to go home.

Happy Birthday

Well Ryan turned 4 this wow how time flys. He is into anything Army so he got a big army tank form us that he loves. He also got a lot of fun other toys, Grandma remembered that he still loves horses so she got him a horse set that he flipped over.

I decorated his cake myself and I think I did a pretty good job. The tanks are candles that I found.
