If only it were like the Soap General Hospital, then I would die this week, or maybe 2 weeks ago, everyone would cry and miss me and my family would all fall apart and then I'd come back in a month or so and everything would be the same but different! There won't be any problems, and it would be like I was never gone!
Last week, we visited the Dr for Chelsey and Keegan on Tuesday, I went back on Wednesday with Kaylix because his glands in his neck were all swollen, Keegan had this a while ago too, they said Kaylix's was just a virus and to keep giving him the Tylenol and Motrin magic!
Thursday, we packed!
Friday we boarded the plan, touched down in the land of the . . . phoenix! We had a great time sitting by the pool, the kids swimming and getting burnt to a crisp. I sent the sunscreen out to Riley to put on them because he was out there with them, but apparently, the sunscreen was not applied! Chelsey has blisters on her shoulders and they are all just a bright shade of red! It was a fun, relaxing get away, and we were able to see Bev and Gary's BIG new home! Our house could fit in it 3 maybe 4 times!
We also had an Easter Egg Hunt in between Conference Sessions!
Corbin was on the hunt!
Keegan was having so much fun and was so proud of his eggs!
Chelsey and her prizes!
Just so you know, chocolate and Arizona heat do not go well together, especially in plastic eggs!
Monday when we were heading home, our flight left at 4:55, Keegan is still doing the breathing treatments every 4 hours, we were at the airport at the time that we were suppose to be doing a treatment, and he started coughing and wheezing and panting again. We did a treatment as soon as we got home, but he was up all night coughing and vomiting and all the rest of the good stuff.
Then, a little leading up to this story . . . we have a table top ironing board, and I was in my room ironing my shirt, I turned the iron off set it on the floor to cool, then I went to start getting ready.Keegan and Kaylix woke up so I got them out of bed and went to the kitchen to get them some juice, all of a sudden, Kaylix is screaming at the top of his lungs. I went in there and he is standing by the iron, holding his hand, I look at his hand, and he has burnt his entire hand. It was so bad. I called my mom in a panic, and my Sister, "Nurse Shauna" trying to decide if I should take him to the ER or not. I opted not the ER, but a Dr. visit. I called them about Kaylix's hand and about Keegans rough night. And you guessed it, we were back at the Dr office! They looked at Kaylix's hand for a long time trying to decide whether or not to send him to the Burn unit at Primary Childrens. And again, we opted not. However, we are having to take very good care of his burn and watch it closely. They want to make sure that because it is the palm of the hand, that it doesn't start to pull his hand together as it heals, if that makes sense.
Keegan is still a mess! We have added a few new things into our daily routine! He is now using 2 inhalers every 4 hours, still doing his breathing treatments every 4 hours, and taking an oral steroid for his lungs 2 times a day. The poor kid is amped up most of the day with all these fun things in his body. We will continue to do this routine for a month.
We are going back to the Dr on Monday for a follow up on Kaylix's hand, and I am suppose to take Keegan along just for an added bonus!
Plus, we are getting ready for a baptism. Chelsey is going to be baptized this Saturday. She is so excited!
We left Arizona on Monday, and Riley's family loaded in the car on Tuesday and headed here for the baptism. We hardly get to see each other and now, back to back visits!
Here is Kaylix with his hand all bandaged up.
My Friend Dana took some GORGEOUS pictures of Chelsey for her 8th birthday and her Baptism, they turned out so good, I love them! These are just a "few" of my favorites!
This one is my VERY MOST Favorite!
Oh my heck! Your poor little family has been squished through the ringer! You are the toughest mom ever, you are an army in one. Did that even make sense? The photo's of Chelsey are beautiful! You guys are amazing!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCute pictures! I hope life calms down for you soon. When it rains it pours. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI need to check your blog daily. The pictures are beautiful! Chelsey looked so grown up today up on the stand in church. And little Kaylix's hand, oh my goodness, what a brave little guy and mom. I would have passed out on the spot. You are amazing!
