Stephen had to drop off a friend up in Provo yesterday. He was flying out to meet his family at Disneyland... Stephen asked Brad to come and he was very excited... tucked in his shirt~wore a belt and everything... before they got there Brad impatiently asked "Dad, when are we going to be at Disneyland?"
Poor kid. He thought he was on a REALLY special daddy/son outing... all the way to Disneyland. Stephen said he was pretty disappointed when he explained that they were just dropping Cody off at a gas station....
ok. I now have some time to sit back and take a few deep breaths... so, what do I do? Yep, log onto my computer. But, I figured everyone needed an update on our Boyer family drama....
First of all, I have to send a BIG thank you to all of my close friends and family that really helped out these last few days. I have the best friends! They watched and fed and were wonderful with my 3 youngest bugs. They came by the hospital to give Kendyl some loves and just really made my life easier the past few days...
So, for those of you that don't know the details...
Wednesday night Kendyl had a cough and was just pretty tired. Nothing to be surprised about. Nothing to call the doctor about. But, Thursday morning she yelled from her bed that she couldn't breath. She came into our room and it was VERY obvious that she was having a hard time getting oxygen. We called her doctor and went in. Her oxygen was down to 68. (it should be around 95) and she gave her a breathing treatment... it only went up to about 80 so she said we needed to head to the hospital. And she told me that we would be there for a few days. I told her that I had to go to the hospital up north for some blood work and pregnancy appointments and she said that she couldn't send Kendyl over the mountain because her little body couldn't handle the elevation. Well, I am pregnant and VERY emotional... so, I called Stephen bawling and took off...
Long story short... Kendyl did awesome! She had several different treatments and after the first day was really looking better. Some of her cute little friends came by and spent some time with her. It was adorable to watch them take walks down the halls... her friends would pull her oxygen tank and we would head over to the nursery to see the little babies... it would really cheer her up! It really brought back memories of my watching my cousins Lexi and Shar with their oxygen tanks... now being a mother it gave me a different loving perspective and reminded me of how strong my cousins were and ARE! I love you Shar!!!
She had WONDERFUL nurses that spoiled her with hot chocolate and pudding... and even brought a bunch of Disney movies and a Playstation.... it was so fun for her. The area she was in had all elderly patients so, her doctor told her that all of the nurses did rock, paper scissors to see who would get this cute little 6yr old...She had "Mike" come in three times a day and POUND on her back to help break up the junk in her lungs... he was really rough, but Kendyl said she loved it. The Doctors said it was a combination of Asthma, pneumonia and bronchitis.... but, she is doing really well now and will be back to school in a few days....
We are just grateful that she better and we are stocked up for the winter with her meds. She hasn't had an episode like this in a few years, so we know that we are in for a few long cold months....
Thank you to all that cared for our family this past weekend!! We are really touched at how those we love helped us out....and most of all we are happy that our Kendyl Dev is doing great!!
ok. OK.
I am getting back to my classes.
Not so much because people have been asking me to.. but, because I am OVERFLOWING with ideas right now... I am really excited!
The holidays are coming...uh... very quickly... and I need to start building my pile of gifts and such...
I will do the classes every two weeks for the next little bit to get some fun stuff stocked up for the holidays... hello??! Is there a better gift than something handmade? I don't thinks so :)
Each class will be ten dollars. No matter what. I will be doing classes suitable for children too. So, you can bring one of your little nuggets for a night of fun and crafting!!
Some of the classes are going to be... board albums, address books, sepia picture painting, matchbox albums, paperbag albums, handmade christmas cards and more.... hmm. Yeah. I am reallly REALLLY excited!!
I will provide everything for the class unless otherwise noted. Just come for the fun project, food and as ALWAYS! door prizes!!
Our FIRST CLASS!! :) will be on September 25th. We will be making altoid albums. These are so fun and whimsical. You will have 3 color schemes to chose from.... just let me know in advance what you want...
let me know if there is something in particular that you want to do also.... I am always up for new ideas and challenges... thanks ladies!!
My neighbor brought me four zucchini's last week and I have put off what I was going to do with them... well, I decided to make some chocolate chip zucchini pineapple muffins. OH OH oooooooohH!! They were so good!!! I made 6 dozen and froze half of them... they kids have been snacking on them like crazy. Little do they know that it is STUFFED with zucchini!!! I am really horrible at baking, so.. it was fun to make something so tasty.... here is the recipe.
