!st Egg hunt of Easter 2010

My friend Katie decided she would do a Easter egg hunt for 21 crazy kids (10 years old and younger) at her house. We let the little kids go first and then the older kids. It turned out great! The kids had fun looking for the eggs. The only down fall was it was sooo cold that we didn't stay very long.

Tree House Museum

Trey's kindergarten class went to the Tree House Museum for a field trip. I was able to go and help out. It was a lot of fun. They talked about fairy tales. They broke up in to group were they were able to go and make a septor, and then they got to be part of some stories. Trey got to be a page boy from a story about a knight who married an ugly women and she became beautiful.

Meet George

Wally and George

Wally came in the mail

What a happy day!

I know I have talked about Wally before, but Wally is Ethan's beloved stuffed animal koala bear. Wally goes everywhere! Disneyland, church, the park, the store, to weddings, air force museum,you name it Wally comes. What do you do when you forget Wally at your sisters. You pray that he doesn't find out and that you can trick him with the back up Wally. Yeap we have a backup koala just for instances like this. It seems to happen that we only forget it at my sisters. Last time we were able to trick him and tell him Wally was in the wash and use the back up until the Wally came in the mail. This time on the way home he remembered he left him and that was so traumatic. We told him we had another one at home and that he could have that one until Wally came in the mail and then had to play it up that Wally got to ride in the mail truck. So now we have Wally and George. So George now gets to come with Wally everywhere we go.

Molly and the trip to the Hospital

Midway through February Molly started getting sick with what we thought was a cold or maybe just teething. She was congested and had a cough. She was drooling a lot and liked to chew on things so we thought most likely teething. On the 23rd of Feb she had a slight fever again we thought that it was just teething. Ethan had been sick a couple of days before with Strep so we weren't sure exactly what was going on. On Feb 24th she still wasn't feeling good. She woke up from a nap with a temp of 102.5. We knew it was more then just teething. I knew we needed to take her to the Doctor. Well our Dr was 50min away (I know, along was to go to for the Dr, but I love him and cant switch, I have yet to find a dr up her that I even like a little)I called and made the appt for 6:45. Matt was suppose to work but called in and said he could come in. We then drove to Draper. the boys were being restless so I told Matt to take them to get dinner and I would just take Molly. They leave and soon after they take us back. They started doing the normal weighing her, checking her temp and oxygen level.They were unable to get a good oxygen reading on her so they gave her a breathing treatment and then put her on oxygen. Her breathing still wasn't going good. They had her up to 4 liters of oxygen and she was barley at 90%. The Dr told me they were going to have to take her to Primary Childrens by ambulance. I called Matt, told him to take the kids to his parents and meet me at Primary's. This all happened withing 15 minutes of me being back.
The ambulance came, loaded us up and we were on our way. In the ambulance the kept checking her vitals, did a breathing treatment on her and had her on oxygen. At one point her temp peaked at 105 and her heart rate was almost triple of what it was suppose to be. It spiked at 250. Once we got to Primarys they started her on all sorts of test. They checked her for RSV, tried to put an iv in her hand but was unable to so they had to put one in her head. (that was so hard to see) They were able to take her off of the oxygen and her stats started to look up, all but the heart rate. They took chest xrays and did an E.K.G. on her. The funniest part was when the 2 male nurses would come into the room she would glare at them since they were the mean ones who put an IV in her. Matts parents came up and Grandpa and Matt gave her a blessing. We were in the ER for a couple more hours while they were waiting for test result and getting a room ready. The Drs came in and said she didn't have RSV so we had to wait for more the other test to come back. Finally around 2am they got us a room in the R.T.U unit because every other room was used. This was the busiest Primary's has ever been. They were double and tripling people in rooms. Lucky for us we got our own room. The test finally came back saying she had human metapneumovirus.Which is basically a mutated form of RSV. All night the Drs would come check on her. At some point she pulled her IV out of her head and so they had to redue it, this time they were able to get it in her hand and it was so much better. About 5 in the morning her oxygen levels went down and so they had to put her back on oxygen. She had that for a couple more hours, then the Dr came in and told us they were taking her off of everything and that we were going home. We stayed at Primary's until 11 that day when I was glad to be going home but think they would have kept us longer if they weren't so busy. We had 4 differnt Drs and 3 of the 4 told us one thing and the last Dr told us something completly different. She told us we didn't need to do anything that the other Drs said to do and sent us on our way with just oxygen for the night and if we needed suctioning we could go to a clinic and have that done.
Friday I drove back down to Primary's to have her suctioned and then again Saturday night we loaded the kids back up and drove back down to get her suctioned again. Saturday we also took her back to our doctor where he put her back on a steriod and breathing treatments.
The next couple days we watched her closely. She began improving greatly and was starting to get back to her self. She would through huge fits when we tried to put oxygen on her and then whine for a couple of hours after we would take it off. So we had many sleepless nights on the couch.
She is back to normal now and we are so grateful.
