Scouts

Bryson earned his Wolf badge, 4 beads and 2 arrows at Scouts. He has worked so hard and we are way proud of him. He is such a great kid, always willing to help out and takes such good care of his younger sibs. We love you B-Dog!!! Way to go!


No more tonsils.

March 10th was the day! It was touch and go there for awhile. Anni woke up two days before surgery with a fever and headache. OF ALL THE TIMES TO GET A FEVER....TWO DAYS BEFORE SURGERY...REALLY! We prayed and prayed for this sweet girl to get better. The day of surgery she woke up fever free =) YAY! We had to be at the hospital at 8:30. I told her she had to make sure she didn't eat anything or drink anything until after surgery...this is how our conversation went: Anni: So I can eat ice cream Me: Yes, you can have ice cream, pudding, jello, shakes and anything that is soft Anni: Can I have pizza rolls? Me: Not right after surgery Anni: I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO EAT PIZZA ROLLS AGAIN??? Me: LOL you will be able to eat them just not right after your surgery. Anni: What if I want to eat meat? Me: Well...you will have to wait for a little while. LOL she was not too thrilled. I thought it was super cute. We got her all checked in at the hospital. The nurse came in and gave her the happy drug LOL it made her relax and somewhat crazy =) she was loopy. It wasn't long after that they took her back ( sooo sad to see my baby girl be wheeled away :( They told John and I to wait out in the waiting room and the doctor would be out after the surgery to talk to us. The surgery was super quick. In fact I ran out to the car to get something for my sister in law who happened to be in the hospital after having her twins, took it up to her room...came back and they were calling us back because she was done. We thought something was wrong because the nurse came out somewhat frazzled trying to find us and get us into the right room. John just looked at me and said " Something is wrong" Yeah that freaked me out a bit. It wasn't two seconds later that the doctor came in and said the surgery went very smooth. *HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF* She was wheeled back sooo out of it and coughing like a seal =( Her lungs sounded tight and it scared us a bit. Her oxygen level was between 87 and 88 ( It's suppose to be in the high 90's) We just knew with our luck and everything that has happened in the last few months that they would admit her. Luckily the Respiratory Therapist came down and gave her a breathing treatment, which helped boost her levels. It took her a couple of hours to snap out of it.
Here it is 4 days out of it and the poor girl is having a rough time. She doesn't want to eat anything because it hurts so bad. She just lays around, not moving much and watching movies. I feel so bad for her. Hopefully this will all be over soon and she will be feeling much better with no more cases of strep =)

After surgery...Her IV was under the red wrap. I was so grateful they didn't put the IV in until after she was asleep.



Trying to snap out of it. She threw up a few times after surgery. Dang drugs that make you feel nasty

My sweet brave girl before surgery

I can't wait to see this smile again. HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON Anni Kae!
