Look what Cody did to himself today at work. Poor guy! He had to go to the E.R. and get it removed. Then they had to give him a tetnus shot and they wrapped his hand. He is learning how to use one hand now. It's pretty nasty, don't you think.
We did some family pictures down at Lake Havasu. They didn't turn out the best because there was a cold wind, so the kids didn't want to cooperate.
The kids were tired from getting up so early.
Cody trying to open the kids presents.
Mom and Kyndee. She was not to happy because her sister woke her up to early.
Cadence loves books! And anything princess.
Hey family, Melanie and I got a blog up and running for Larry and Lila. All of us kids are going to post stuff for them since Larry only gets on the internet once a month to check his email and I don't think Lila has ever even been on the internet. I'm not quite sure she even knows how to turn on the computer. LOL! Make sure to add them onto your list so you can be updated on whats going on with them. Their address is cot10clan.blogspot.com/. Go and check it out if you have not yet.
Cody had been growing out his beard for 2 months, so we decided that it would be funny if we bleached his hair and beard to see if he would look like Santa Clause. Although his hair wasn't white I think with his glasses (that he never wears) he actually does look a little like Santa.
We spent Christmas with Cody's family this year at Lake Havasu. It was fun to see their expressions when everyone got there. Hope everyone ejoys the pictures.
Cadence found some of my boots and thought it so much fun wearing them around even though she could barely walk. We were both laughing!
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.
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 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!
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.
