Carson's Hospital Stay

Well, it has been a rough week for our Carson. First he had tubes put in his ears early this week, and now this. We went to the Primary Children's Hospital after a rough night. This is one of those times I wish I hadn't waited all night. Carson's fever was over 104.0, but I was able to get it to break down to 102.0, so I thought everything was O.K. I slept in the room with him, and he sounded awful...absolutely miserable. When morning came we were waiting to take him to instacare, but after cleaning up a bit and coming across the papers from his surgery. We took him to Primary Children's E.R.

Even the Drs. were convinced that they would suck out all the snot down is nose, and throat and we would be able to take him home. Luckily, he fell asleep. When he fell asleep his oxygen levels dropped, and we earned a night stay at the hospital. Poor kid. They suction every few hours, but each time his fever began to stay down, and his levels began to go up. He made so much progress.

After we got the test results, sure enough it was RSV, and double ear infections. I don't have hardly any pictures except for the morning he got released...bummer. He is off oxygen, and doing much better.

Back to School

Did the three weeks of break already come and go??? YEP!!! I am back in school, just started again last Monday, and if you ask me I feel already behind. Anatomy is tough, really tough!!! Way to go to all of you who have successfully survived this class, I hope to be a survivor when the semester is over.
My three weeks of break came and went. The first week off we spent being sick!!! In fact probably the sickest all of us have been at the same time. I even called my Mom at two in the morning crying, because it was a nightmare. I don't have any pictures to show, but we were a mess...I started throwing at midnight, then Cutler joined in at one, and the two of us threw up for two more hours about every 10-15 mins.
Cutler then asked his dad for a blessing. Rob came in the living room, where Cutler was kneeling on the ground holding a big bowl, (just in case), and Rob asked, "Are you going to throw up?" Cutler replied, "probably?" then Cutler said, "Dad you do this, (pointing to his head), and I'll do this (pointing to the bowl)." hahahaha...well, the two of us did a little better after the blessing, things began to slow down, right in time for Kiley to throw up. Then Rob to join in. By then about six I finally fell asleep, upon waking up Cole had joined the pack. Carson wouldn't eat, but at least he wasn't throwing up too.
So a family of six, incredibly sick!!!
But YEAH for us we were better just in time for Christmas!!! Because of being sick, I felt like we jumped right into to Christmas with no final touches, but we had a great time. We love having my parents up for the holidays, Ok...we love when they are here anytime!!!
After holiday clean up, it was time for baptism preparations, and the new year.
That is what my break was spent doing, fun and wonderful for the most part. I wish we could've avoided a flu bug, but luckily it was after finals and before Christmas.

Now I begin another semester with hopes of enjoying myself again, and doing good. While not mixing up my priorities as Mom of four. Thanks again to all my family who supported me so much last semster, and for being so excited to jump into another semester again. I definately couldn't do school without all the support.

Baptism

It is amazing when you have this tiny little baby, you think they'll never be that big. Well, Cole did just that. He grew up, and he grew up fast. He is eight!!!

We had a wonderful experience, absolutely wonderful!!! I can't express the many blessing we had leading up to his baptism, and his baptism day. Our ward, and stake did an incredible job. The spirit was there, and it will be a day we will never forget.

The morning of Cole's baptism we got up, and went to breakfast with my parents. Cole was nervous, so he didn't eat much. He looks happy though, real happy. He told his Papa Cadina, "that I was nervous when I went into the waters, but did you see me smiling afterwards."

I believe these two are bowing down to Cole, Oh great Cole!!!

Look at this cute little family!!!


Papa Cadina and Cole

This day was very special for us and our family. We knew time would pass when we held our first son, we would say I'll almost be 30 when we baptize him, and here we are today. We are truly blessed to have this gospel apart of our life. We are so proud of Cole, and his decision to be baptized. If you know Cole, then you know he is a great kid, and he has a lot of potential to succeed in life. We hope the very best for him as he journeys through life.
