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.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween. All my life of living in Utah I never remember Trick-or-Treating in short sleeve shirts. It was so warm it made it really nice for the kids they didn't get to cold and want to go home, the only thing is they didn't want to stop. Kaleb was a vampire, which really surprised me. I thought for sure he would want to be Optimus Prime with how much he loves Transformers. Ryan wanted to be an Army man with a gun. That didn't surprise me a whole lot he is getting into G.I. Joe's lately. Tony was a man in a jacket. My creative husband. The kids got a lot of candy and we are still eating it.

Aquarium

Tony had won tickets to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was really cool they had a section of the fish that live in Utah then they had a section of the fish that live in the ocean. The Utah side was neat getting to see some of the different fish that are in our state. The ocean life was my favorite they had jelly fish, nemo fish, sting rays, and sharks. There was this giant octopus that was awesome. Ryan was scared to stand by the glass so Tony had to stand next to him. Kaleb wasn't scared at all. I swear that kid is scared of nothing. Both the boys wouldn't pet the sting rays. They thought they would bite or something. The only thing is I thought the building would be bigger. But we still had fun!

Backyard Fun

Kaleb loves going into the back yard and looking for pets. He finds all sorts of bugs, worms, snails, potato bugs, and what ever a little boy can find. One afternoon after school Kaleb ventured out side to play. Next thing I knew he opened the door "Mom, mom come see the pet snake I found." Yes I said snake. So I got up and sure enough he was holding a snake. "Can I keep it." He asked. I had to tell him no that it was a wild snake and we should keep them as pets. The fun things boys find.

Gardner Village

When Michelle and Rusty were in town we went to Gardner Village to see the witches. It was the first time I have ever been there. I was just Michelle, Hyrum, Hannah, Tanna, Jade, Myself, Kaleb, and Ryan. The kids had a lot of fun walking around and looking at all the different witches on display. While I was waiting for Tanna and Michelle to show up the boys made their own broom sticks to fly on. I was fun getting to see Michelle and the kids.
