Poor Jason

So I am feeling so terrible right now. I took Jason to the doctor today to get his ears checked and I was pretty sure he had a sinus infection too. When the nurse was weighing Jason I was just naming off my concerns and reasons why I was there and what was going on health wise. She asked if Jason has had a fever and I said no. She took his temperature and it came out with a 100.4 temp, a fever. Then I told her that at night Jason will complain when he goes to bed that his back hurts and when he wears his coat he complains about his back hurting. She then tells me that they will have him pee in a cup. None of my kids has done that before, so I ask why and she tells me that they want to see if there is anything wrong with his kidneys. So we go and I help him pee in a cup (WAY easier than a girl). Then we go and wait for the doctor. After the Dr. checks him out she starts listing off all of the things that are wrong-ear infection in the right ear, sinus infection, pneumonia and then she swabbed him for strep throat and later found out it was confirmed strep. THEN, the nurse brings back a paper saying that the urine sample had blood in it and so it's going in for a culture test. Oh boy. Am I the worst mother or what?!!!! So, I am a little nervous about the urine sample coming back with blood in it. So I will go back in 10 days to have everything rechecked and see how things go. Right now it's antibiotics and albeuteral (spelling) for the breathing. I'm just glad that Jason is happy through it all.

That is seriously so crazy it's almost funny....poor kid! BUT, you couldn't have known all of those things were going on...kids are so hard to read. They always have energy, even when they're sick. I hope he gets well soon, though! Bring him on over! haha!

That is so funny. so many times I take my kids to the doctor and I am thinking they have got to be really sick, then we come out with nothing. But other times i'm in there for well checks and they find that they have everything that is possible. I wish kids could not get sick.

That happens. At least you took him to the doctors. Kids get sick all the time, and it's hard to know when it's serious and when it's not. Good luck.

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to change up, little specks to take off, small touch ups before th

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah,

TRIALS

We have been preparing for over 4 years for this trial. But nothing, no matter how much you knew it could and most likely would happen, can prepare you when your son's doctor tells you now is the time. "Your son needs open heart surgery." August 24th, 2005, Jason was born in Las Vegas, NV. He was perfect and healthy looking in every way. At his 2 week check up the doctor heard a heart murmur and recommended I take him to the cardiologist. I mentioned that I was flying out to WA in a few days and so I'd probably go when I got back, 3 weeks later. The cardiologist doctor called me the next day after visiting with the pediatrician, asking me to go in to have Jason checked out. It was late and he was willing to stay after hours for us to get there. After an ultra sound of his heart (echo) the cardiologist diagnosed Jason with a very small hole in his heart. Nothing that needed to be fixed right away, unless it started causing problems. So Jason started going every 3 month
