Unexpected things

On Tuesday the 3rd I took the kids to Cold Stone for a treat. Andrew said he wasn't feeling well so we came home and I gave him some Tylenol. Maycie had been sick with a cold for almost a week and came home from school saying that her sinuses were hurting so I made an apt. with the Dr. for the next day. I had tickets for the Draper Temple open house that day to so I didn't send the kids to school and we went to the open house. All the while Drew is feeling lousy and so is Maycie. I took may to the Dr. and she had a ear infection and sinus infection... no wonder she felt so sick! Drew continued to feel worse, running fevers and complaining of shoulder pain. Back to the Dr. on Thursday for Drew... The Dr. thought he just had a cold or some virus. By Saturday Drew was even worse. We took him to the hospital and they did an x-ray... Pneumonia on the right side. They admitted him to Primary Children's hospital for iv antibiotics, fluids and oxygen. He was very sick. After 4 days of 2 different iv antibiotics they let us come home on 2 oral antibiotics... He just hasn't seemed to be feeling much better. Today, I took him back to the Dr. and they did a repeat x-ray. He has a little more fluid than he did before!! The good thing is that he isn't running high fevers. so, for now it is a waiting game to see if he gets better or worse over the next week. We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that he gets better and alot of prayers!! Thankfully his asthma has been good and Maycie is doing much better too.

Way to long....

Okay, I haven't updated the blog in FOREVER so I thought I should try to do something today. I should start with our trip to Disneyland. It was great! We left at 3:30 in the morning so we can be Vegas for breakfast. Yum, we ate at Mandalay bay. We walked around a couple of casinos so the kids could get out some energy. Emily thought Excalibur looked like a princess castle. Then back in the car. Just outside of Prim there was horrible traffic and... Maycie got car sick. We turned on the Ac for some fresh air to blow on her but it was too late. Good thing I had a big Ziploc bag! The traffic was still driving at a snails pace and Maycie couldn't keep it back there with her so I took a deep breath closed my eyes and put it on the floor by my feet. Dwayne told me throw it out the window. I told him I needed a minute of deep breathing or else I would be joining her. Dwayne told me to roll down the window and grabbed the bag and threw it out. well just the mental picture was enough for me and unfortunately our snails pace picked up when I leaned out the window.Down the side of the car...good thing it rained 3 of the 4 days we were in Cali. The rest of the drive was uneventful. Our first day at Disneyland it rained like crazy for the first 3 hours then it cleared off. I am so glad we brought our winter coats. The best part was we hardly ever waited in a line. Most rides we walked right up and got on or only had a couple minutes wait. Besides having so much fun at Disneyland they also had fun at the hotel... Dwayne taught them to jump on the beds! they had a blast jumping back and forth. I'm just glad they aren't doing it at home.Tyson told me "Dad said we can only jump at Hotels", I hope that sticks. We spent the next day at California Adventures, The older kids rode every ride while the little ones REALLY loved the toy story ride. I think we rode it 4 or 5 times. Andrews favorite was tower of terror and Maycie's favorite is splash mountain. I know there are more favorites but I can't remember what they are. On Christmas eve we went back to the park to see the fireworks, they were amazing. Christmas day we spent at both parks doing whatever we felt like. Maycie and Andrew had a lot of fun when we went to the Disney strip mall. Maycie went to Libby Lu's and Andrew went to the Lego store. Both were very happy with what they received for Christmas. The trip home took longer than we expected since a snow storm had came through and the kids were very anxious to get home and see what Santa brought. Good thing I bought Dramamine for the drive home... Maycie had a great sleep. We had such a great time. We already want to go back.
I will post the pics as soon as I figure out when they were saved to the computer at.
