Our visit the the E.R.

On Saturday night we took Kyndee into the E.R because she had a pretty high fever. On Friday night it was a 104. We were able to bring it down, but it kept coming back up, even with medicne. We were concerned because of her recent surgury and didn't know if it had anything to do with the fever or not. I called my brother who works in the E.R. to ask him what he though we should do. He said he thought we should take her in. Anyhow he called us back and told us he called and talked to one of the E.R. doctors and they though she needed to been seen with her recent surgury because she could have infection with that high of a fever. I feel so lucky to have an awesome brother who is so knowledgeable with medical stuff. I am constantly calling him to ask him what I should. Anyhow Cody's Dad came and got Cadence so she could spend the night over there. We went into the E.R. about 10 pm and they knew we were coming. They were so nice to us. The doctor told us that they might have to do blood test to test for infection and maybe other test. We were glad that they soon found out it was strep throat. They had to test it to make sure and then give her a shot (antibiotics), then they gave us a prescription. It was definently a long night! We didn't get home until about 1:30 am. Then I had to get up at 4 and 8 to give her tylenol for her fever. What a crazy night. I hope that we don't have anything crazy happen for a while. I though I was going to have a panick attack on the way to the E.R. I think there has just been so much going on lately. And we are keeping our fingers crossed that Cadence doesn't get it.

Halloween pictures

I have been meaning to post Halloween pictures, but I just haven't got it done. So here they are finally. Cadence was sleeping beauty and Kyndee was a cat.

Kyndee's surgery

Kyndee's surgery went well, and she is doing just fine now. The sore in her mouth was worse than we had expected. One of her front teeth was completely dead and was starting to rot the bone. So they had to pull out her tooth, so she'll be without one of her front teeth until the other one comes in, which will probably be about 7 or 8 years old. They had to scrape away all the infected and inflamed tissue on her gums and scrape around the bone. We are just glad everything went well and she is doing well. We had a wonderful doctor, who kept us very informed and keeps checking on us. Although it was minor is was hard on all of us and very tiring. Kyndee was pretty upset coming out of the anesthesia, which they say is normal. Once we got her home and she got some food and a nap she was doing much better. Thank you to everyone who was praying for us and concerned! We greatly appreciate it! We are thankful for wonderful family and friends!

Surgery for Kyndee

Just wanted to let everyone know that Tomorrow (Monday), Kyndee will be having surgery. She has a sore in her mouth caused by something she ate. Something got stuck in her gums and then got infected. Then it started getting bigger and more puffy and kept bleeding more. And after seeing the dentist, our doctor, and a pediactric dentist, they decided she needed to have surgery and cut out the growth in her mouth and scrape all the inflamed stuff out. She will be under anesthesia because they think there will be a lot of bleeding and also so she is not screaming. I guess this is not new to us since she had surgery a few months ago because of a blocked tear duct. We will be glad when the surgery is done. I'm hoping she doesn't have to have another surgery for a long time.

Do you have any tips?

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on getting rid of cankers sores. I have had one for a couple of days now and it is driving me nuts! I have tried baking soda and it helps a little and hurts like heck! Do anyone have something better? I would love to hear if have any other advise besides that.

Fishing with Grandpa and Dad

This was from when we went camping at Lake Powell. Cadence got to go fishing with her Grandpa and Dad. She loved spending time with them.

This is for everyone that has tagged me lately, sorry I have been a total slacker!

If I missed anyones tag please let me know so I can add it to my lengthy list!


I got tagged by Meridith (my cousin), I'm supposed to list 6 quirky things about myself.

* I hate taking pills (I don't think I could ever be an addict, I gag every time I take a big pill).

* I like to yell at stupid driver even though they can't hear me. Sadly Cadence is learning the word idiot. And we won't mention the other word I say when there is a stupid driver that cuts me off or something. Starts with an S.

*I can't stand when the toilet paper roll is backwards. It drives me nuts!

*I color coordinate my clothes in my closet as well as everyone else in my house.

*Sometimes I don't get jokes! Some people call it airheaded, I like to think of it as innocent though. LOL! Ok, maybe I am a little bit.

*Sadly sometimes I have a bad impression of a person the 1st time I meet them, then later I end up liking them.

I've been tagged now your it!

Lake Powell

Last weekend we went camping at Lake Powell with Cody's parents. It was lots of fun, although I am very thankful to have my own bed and a shower and my bathroom back. The kids had lots of fun too. Cadence and I got to take a walk along the shore while Cody and his Dad played frisby golf, and Cody's Mom watched Kyndee. It was so nice to get away, especially since Cody just got back last Wed. from Texas. He was gone for 2 1/2 weeks. I couldn't believe how warm it was there, except for night. It was perfect weather. The top picture is Cody and Cadence. Cody came and met us on our walk after his game. And the 2nd picture is when we went fishing. Well, Cody and his Dad went fishing and Cadence and I watched, actually I think I fell asleep. They didn't catch anything though. And the last picture is of me and Cadence hanging out at our camp.

Cadence's 4th Birthday Party

Cadence's 4th birthday was on October 13th. We had a family party for us on my birthday and celebrated my Dad's, mine, and Cadence's birthdays. Then on her birthday we had a few of her friends over for a princess party. She loved it! I can't believe that she is 4 years old. My best friend Summer made the cake for us. I can't believe what an awesome job she did.
