update

Kailye is doing much better now. The Tuesday night was very rough. She would wake up every 45 minutes, either from her breathing changing or from the heater kicking on. Plus we woke up in the morning to a wet bed...like I said rough night...which we were both sleeping in. She tried to say it was me but she knew it was her. After we got cleaned up she was acting pretty normal. She was not happy she had to stay inside all day. She told me multiple times just how bored she was. She is not used to hearing things like that so the smallest noises are a whole new experience for her. It has been fun to see what she hears differently now. She is much quieter than she used to be...we'll see how long that lasts. It is still scary to think that we came that close to losing her.

Last night was much better than the night before. She slept pretty well. She still would wake up or stir a little when the heater came on, but other wise she is sleeping much better than she used to. She no longer snores and she can actually breath now. It is such a blessing what modern medicine can do. I think she was happy to be able to go to grandma Leeana's today and not stay home all day again. We still need to watch her breathing, but she is back to normal...a little quieter...Kailye.

Well I need to get some work done before I need to go get her so I'll try and post pictures later.

very long day...

Kailye had her surgery this morning. She had to have tubes and have her adenoids removed. She was doing very well until these two ladies with the child welfare for the hospital came in. They talked to her like she was a baby, and made her very nervous. Kailye is used to being talked to like an adult or an equal and she didn't seem to appreciate being talked to like a 2 year old...hmm, weird. They made her a little nervous for a second but she did very well when the doctors took her back to the operating room. It was only supposed to take 20 for the surgery and then another 10 minutes for her to wake up before they brought her back to us. Well at 50 minutes I was a bit nervous, I was already really nervous about her being put under as it was, and her doctor came in to explain why it was taking so long. Kailye had a reaction to the anesthesia as she was waking up. The rings that are around her esophagus at her vocal cords shut and blocked her breathing. So they had to immediately put her back to sleep so they could get her muscles to relax. It took quite a while and they actually had to put a tube down her throat and bag her for 6-7 minutes. The doctor said she should have quite a bit of bruising on her face because it took a lot of pressure to get air in her lungs. They sugar coated it when they first told us but as the day went on and we heard other nurses in the hospital talking about it we learned that we nearly lost her. Thank goodness the anesthesiologist was still in the room and there were a lot of quick nurses there to respond. Our doctor said the team there responded very quickly and she was impressed with there speed. Not exactly something you want to hear about your tiny 4 year old's surgery, but I am very grateful everything turned out okay. Since she was "the naughty one" as the nurses said teasing, they kept her there for much longer then a normal surgery. We got there at 9:30 and were told we'd only be there 3 hours, well we went home at 4:30.


We have been home all afternoon and she has gone back to her happy self. She does have a very sore throat and she has to be watched very closely for the next 24 hours. We were told if her breathing changes even in the slightest to take her straight to the emergency room. So it may be a long night, but it is much better than the alternative. I'm so glad that my husband has the ability to bless our little ones. We had him give her a blessing last night while we were at Adam and Kari's, thank you mom for reminding us to do so, and I feel like that helped her today. Well it's been a long day and it's about to be a long night so I better go.

Weekend.

Nothing exciting to write about today. Friday we went and saw Alvin & The Chipmunks with Dan, Peggy, Adam, Kari, & Jayci. It was cute I laughed a lot and Kailye loved it. I was a bit uncomfortable during the movie because our little stinker kept stick it's foot right out where my pants sit when I sit down. When we got home I had Michael put his hand on my stomach right there and you could definitely feel it's little foot.

Saturday we hung at home all day because I was feeling sick...I know shocker! We did go to China Lily for dinner though. I haven't been there in so long. I used to work there so my old boss was excited to see us. She was surprised by how big Kailye was also.

Sunday we forgot that our church time changed so we totally missed it. Oops. But we did get in a whole day of football...well I slept half the day but kk and Michael watched lots of football. Michael also started to get the baby stuff out of the garage. He put up the crib in Kk's room and we are starting to get things situated. I still need to figure out how to con mom into making all the bedding for the kids room. I don't have a sewing machine...plus she is much better at that stuff than me. I already have all the fabric I just need it done. We'll see. Well I better go.

Sorry no pictures I forgot my camera again this weekend.

Job update

Michael decided not to go out to Chicago next week for the job he was offered. After looking into the company a lot more we saw that it was not going to be a very good opportunity. We heard some awful things about this company. And frankly we would lose money to have miss work for a week, especially if it's a waste of time. So we are back to square one again. He is going to start working more on the real estate with Adam as well as working at the apartments. He still plans on finding another job in the mean time but for now we feel like this is the best thing for him to do. I'll keep you updated as far as job offers go. Bye

Dinner

Michael's Aunt and Uncle are here from Tennessee for a while and for Christmas they took everyone to dinner. We went last night to Rodizio's at Trolley Square. It was so good. Being pregnant I haven't had hardly any appetite at all and even if I do I can usually only eat a few bites before I'm stuffed. Well yesterday was definitely the exception. Oh man I ate a lot. Once again I forgot my camera though so no pictures to share. But I swear I will try to remember to put up a belly picture tonight on my other blog. Maybe I'll put it up on here too.

Michael is heading out to Chicago for training for a new job next week. He hasn't completely decided if it is what he wants to do yet, but we both figured it couldn't hurt to go out and see what training is like. We need to go get him some more dress clothes this weekend also. I'm glad his dad gave him a gift card for Christmas because we do not have a ton of money to spend on that stuff right now. Even if he decides when he comes home that he hates it, sales training for anything is a good thing to experience...well as long as the trainer is good and the program. We'll see how it goes. I'm not too happy about him being gone when Kk has to get tubes. She will be sad. It also makes me so nervous to have her get them in the first place. She has never had to go under anesthesia before. I think it's a little nerve racking. I will be glad to have her be able to hear though.

Well back to work. Bye.

New Years

This years New Years Eve was pretty relaxed. We went to mom and dad's house and played games with the family...minus the Huntsman's. It was fun and so chill. We ate yummy lasagna Steph made and sat around all night. Honestly some of us didn't make to mid night, and the rest of us barely did.
Kailye went to the doctor earlier in the day with mom and Bobbie. I guess at one point she was arguing with the nurse about the thermometer. Well the nurse said should we take you r temperature...well mom called me right after and said Kk has a fever at 102. Yikes, that kid kills me. You never know she's sick until she pukes on you. Since she was so sick so she just laid on the couch half the night. But she still had fun trying to steal Bobbie's property in Monopoly.

On New Years day Michael went to work so Kk and I went up to mom's again. We went and saw The Waterhorse with Art and Steph and the boys. It was cute. Kailye liked it. At one point during the movie Kailye moved over to sit next to Aunt Steph because Brighton wasn't sitting in his seat and then Brighton came over and crawled in the seat with Kailye. He was so cute and giggly. It was funny. Later last night Michael came over to mom and dad's to watch the Hawaii Vs. Georgia game and Steph, mom, Kailye and I went to see P.S. I Love You. It was such a good movie. I'm not a Hilary Swank fan but she did a great job with the role. I would also love to know where I can buy almost everything she wore in that whole movie. Kailye was funny on the lovie dovey parts she would cover her eyes and make funny faces.

Well I need to get to work. Sorry there are no pictures I forgot to take my camera. I'm not sure any of us took any pictures, now that I think of it...Bye.
