Oooh.. the places to sleep

Jayden was soo tired the other day that he wrapped himself up in his pink 'ticklish' blanket and went to sleep at the little picnic table

Tractor Ride

Jared took the kids for a tractor ride the other day! They loved it!!!! Jaxon rode with Jared from Center to Alamosa a 2 Hour tractor dive!!

Jace is a free man

Jace is off of his oxygen. He has had a rough week and a half. On valentines day, Jace had a little cough, so I took him into the doctor, before it got any worse, and turned into pnmonia (sp) She said, he was just fine, and give him a few breathing treatments. Well wednessday night he woke up around 1:00. I went in to feed him and he was gasping for air. I got soo scared and woke Jared up. Jace was white as a ghost and had blue around his mouth. We put him in his car seat and I sped to the Emergancy Room, disregarding all red lights. I got there and they checked his O2 level and it was at 76% They put oxygen on him right away and did all kinds of tests, chest X-rays, RSV, influenza tests, ect... I have never been to the ER and was helped so promptly. All the tests came back negative, but we were admitted to the hospital for 3 days. They gave him steriods and watched him. He never had a fever or anything. They let us come home friday afternoon. Saturday he was taking a nap next to Jared. He started breathing weird and Jared checked on him, he was having a seizer. Again I rushed him to the ER, not knowing what else to do. He was still having the seizer as I was driving. They did all kinds of tests again including a CAT scan. Everything came back fine. They think maybe his fever spiked and that will cause a seizer, but he has never had a fever the whole time he has been sick, it's kinda weird. But two weeks later, he is doing great, and he no longer needs oxygen!!!

Jace.... A toe sucker

Some kids suck their thumbs, while others... like Jace suck their toes!!! I was feeding him cereal the other night, and he keept sticking his toes in his mouth after every spoonful! it was just too cute not to take a picture of it.

Jaxon came down with croup

Thursday Night Jaxon woke up Coughing like crazy. Friday morning he was acting just fine, so I didn't take him to the doctor. Around 1:00 pm (nap time) He got really sick with the seal barking cough. I decided he really did need to see the Doctor. So I call up wanting an appointment. They didn't have any! They did give me an oppointment for Saturday morning. (This is a new thing for our little clinic, to open up saturday's) So I took the 9:00 opointment. Jaxon however continued to get worse. We almost took him to the Emergancy Room 3 times! One of the times, we were half way to the Hospital. I think the cold air he breathed going from the house to the car helped him breathe a little easier. Finally Saturday morning came and we were able to take him in. He got a shot of steriods. The Doctor also prescribed us some albutural and pulmicort. The Pulmicort was $142.00 (Walmarts cost) He could breathe a lot better sunday morning, but his fever just wouldn't go down. It was up to 104 sometimes. But today, Monday He is doing much better. We are just hoping that this illness doesn't spread to the other kids, espically little Jace. We put him in a little tent, made from our card table and a sheet. We put the humidifier in there, it really made a difference. Jaxon's Croup turned in to pnmonia (sp). He just wasn't getting better so we hat to take him in again, thinking he might have an ear infection, but it was pnmonia instead.
