My Poor Baby!

So today, my little Hannah gave us a scare. She has been sick the last couple of days, throwing up and not eating or drinking anything. So after not having a wet diaper in almost 24 hours and throwing up again this morning and acting so lethargic, I took her into the doctor, and they told me I had to take her to the E.R.! I was a little scared when they said that. I took her to the E.R. with Ethan in tow. As I am filling out the paper work and there is a million people waiting there, Ethan decides to start throwing up. So here I am all alone stressed because my baby is so dehydrated and sick and there are a million people around and Ethan throwing up on top of all this. Lots of fun! They had to draw some blood from her poor little arms, the lab girl couldn't get any blood out of the first arm after digging around for awhile, so she went to the other arm and after quite awhile and telling me that she keeps hitting her elbow bone, she finally got blood. Her poor little arms are bruised. At this point I was about ready to lose it, because Hannah was just freaking out, Dave wasn't there, and Ethan is laying on the floor sick. Finally Dave was able to reschedule his patients and come up there with us. Thanks Goodness! They wanted to try some things before doing I.V. fluids, so they gave her some medicine that would stop the nausea and then we had to give her the same amount of fluids in a bottle that they would have had given her in an I.V. And then wait to see if she could keep it all down. Luckily she did and after 4 1/2 hours she was released to go home. Her blood tests did show that she was extremely dehydrated, and even her liver and kidneys showed that she was. So I am so thankful that the medicine worked and that she drank all of the pedialyte so that we wouldn't have to give her an I.V! It is so sad to see your little ones so sick! It just breaks your heart. I love my kids so much, and hate to see them hurt! I am so thankful that Hannah is feeling better! Ethan is doing better also! What a nightmare of a day, I am so glad that it is over!!!!

Good Things Utah

One of the many things that I miss about Utah is a local tv show there called "Good Things Utah". It is such a good show, I just love it. Anyway, while we were in Utah for the holidays I was lucky enough to get tickets to go be in the audience for one of the tapings. I went with my sister and my two sister in laws. It was so much fun to see what it looks like behind the scenes. At the end we got to meet the hosts, they are such cute girls! So here is a picture of us with the hosts of the show. For those of you that don't live in Utah and can't see this show, you are missing out.



Random Pictures

So we were at my in-laws for the holidays and I was looking through some pictures on their computer and came across these, and thought that I would post them since how I never got to post pictures from Dave's graduation. So I hope you enjoy them!
