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!

YAY! FOR SPRING LIKE WEATHER!!

Here are my cute kiddo's playing outside at grandma's house enjoying the sunshine.

He actually loves the grass!

RSV hits our family once again

These pictures were taken after he started feeling better. I totally forgot I had my camera with us. Read the previous post to find out how we got here! We got here on the 19th of Feb and today is the 21st. He had a rough first couple of days but he is doing soooo much better. We have had some of the best nurses ( Dennis and Ruben) with Jana charging. My mom worked on the PEDS unit for many many years and we have some dear friends up here. So much so that they kept us in a room by ourselves while everyone else on the floor had to share rooms. Man it pays to know people. Boston gave all those that entered his room a wrestling match. He is super strong and hard to hold down with you have to suction or give treatments. Dennis finally admitted that Boston won each match. Dennis spoiled this little guy so much by giving him a stuffed Mickey Mouse, Toy cube, blanket and two hats which you will see in the photos...I don't think Boston was too fond of them, but they were soooo cute. Thank you to the AMAZING staff on PEDS for taking such great care of us. We love you!!! During the few days that we were here I think they admitted most the kids in Utah County. They are stuffed full with 24 plus patients. I am hoping that we will get to go home today! I am so thankful for all the concern and prayers that were said during this time. Thank you we truly feel soo blessed.

He was such a crazy little guy. He would jump up and down on his bed, walk around it holding on to the rails and throw things out of it. ( When he was feeling better anyway) He has been a real trooper. SOOO GLAD he is feeling better.

Wedding Catering

My best friend asked if I would help her out in catering a wedding luncheon on the 19th of February. I was more than thrilled to help her out since 1. I LOVE to cook and 2. She is a blast to work with. It was a really fun experience...but let me just explain my day that day....

So the morning started off with me waking up to finish cooking the chicken and pasta that we were serving that afternoon. Boston had been sick for a few days before that with a raspy cough and some wheezing. We were a little worried about him just because we could tell he wasn't feeling well and wasn't eating well. I decided that I would hurry and finish getting things together and I would run him to the Insta care in Springville on my way to my moms. I get there check him in and watch the clock. I was suppose to be at the church by 10:30, it is now 9:05. They call us back and got his weight and temp. They hooked him up to the SAT monitor....dun dun dun...it reads 86 now for those of you who aren't familiar with medical stuff, normal SAT or oxygen levels in the body should be in the high 90's. They looked at me and said " I'm sorry we cannot help him here. You will have to take him to the ER" Oh let me tell you how thrilled I was about that. So here it is 9:30 and I'm pulling into the ER. Luckily it was really slow. They got us checked in, and back into a room. By the time they did all the vitals and we talked to the doc who ordered suction and a chest X-ray it was 10:15. I just kept thinking....whyyyy of all days why today. My mom was nice enough to come down and take over since John worked the night before and was sleeping. She stayed with him while I went to the church. We got there and started throwing things together. I was such a scatter brain the whole time, but it turned out great. Half way through the luncheon my mom called to let me know that they were admitting him for RSV. I then called John and woke him up at 12:30 to let him know that I had taken Boston in and they were now admitting him. He was somewhat shocked since the last thing I told him before he went to bed was that I was just taking him to the Insta care. He then hurried down to be with B. We finished the luncheon with applause and very positive comments and even people asking for our numbers. They were a little shocked to find out that we didn't work for a company and that it was just the two of us. WE ROCKED IT! We served Minestrone Soup, Alfredo with Chicken, Green salad with a homemade creamy Italian dressing and bread sticks. SUCCESS! Right after I rushed down to the hospital to be with my ever sick baby! Thank you Becky for the opportunity to work with you. It was a blast and hopefully next time I won't have such a crazy day!

Bryson's Play

A few days ago we were invited up to the school to see a play that the 4th grade class has been working on. It was so fun to see these kids act out their parts with emotion, and to have all their parts memorized. As you can tell Bryson is less than thrilled that I am sitting on the front row taking pictures of him...hahah! He played the narrator. I love that his school has sooo many wonderful activities and classes that they can participate in.

Boston 7 months

I realized that I am ending up taking more pictures of food than of my kids. Boston is now 7 months old. He is crawling EVERYWHERE!!!! He even pulls himself up on things. He will be in his bed crying and when I walk in I find him at the end of his bed standing up trying to figure out how to sit down. He is so stinking smart and is already making us run this way and that. We had to baby proof the house already. He loves to turn on the surround sound even though it scares the crap out of him. When we tell him not to do something he will look at us and smile, when we go to get him away from it he crawls away super fast. I have a feeling he's going to be the hardest kid yet =) We love him to pieces.

Science Fair

This is Bryson's first year doing the Science Fair. He did it with his buddies Dallin and Parker. Their project was all about testing what material would hold the most marbles. The boys did a great job. We told them that if this was something they wanted to do then it was up to them to get it done. They did it all with very little help. Good Job Boys!
