4 years!!!

To celebrate our Anniversary this year we kept it simple to prepare for our 5 year CRUISE!! We went and did a session at the Salt Lake temple something I have wanted to do for 4 years. Then we headed to the gateway for a little shopping. Lucky for Jeremy it was pouring so I didn't even want to shop. We ate at Bucca di peppi. Delicious! And topped the night off with my favorite ice cream from DQ Georgia mud fudge. Its been a fast 4 years, we have accomplished a lot in those 4 years its amazing. Jer finished school, 2 kids, bought a car, bought a house, changed jobs 3 times. We couldn't be any happier. Of course unless we had a truck that would be nice :)

Hospital Stay

Ready to go home, she is getting really good at sitting up

After having the RSV for 2 weeks it turned for the worst. My nightmare came true, I have always been scared of RSV and never wanted my kids to get it. After asking the million kids it seems like that got it this year if it was as really as bad as they make it seems they all told me no. So my fears had mostly gone away. Until one night Taylee seemed like she was struggling to breath and she would not breathe for a few breathes at a time. This was Sunday night so we decided to wait until the next morning. That night she threw up about 3 times and the next morning twice. So I decided it was time to take her in. As soon as they check her Oxygen and the Nurse seemed a little worried. So the doctor comes in and talks to me it all goes over my head she then says we will do breathing treatments and see how she is after, if its not better we will have to admit her to the hospital. At this point all the thought I had previously had of RSV started going through my mind. I was so scared. After 2 breathing treatments her oxygen was still low, so the doctor admitted her to the hospital. I started crying, the nurse comes to see if I need help and I was so embarrassed to have her see me crying I tried not to look up. ( I am not a public crier) She says to drive straight there, we had already been at the doctors 2 hours and I knew McKell was not gonna handle much more. Thankfully we still live close to Family and I was able to call my Sister Vanessa to see if she could come get McKell for the night. I love my FAMILY, they are always so willing to help out. Little did Vanessa know the 1 night would turn into 3. Taylee was in the hospital 4 days being touched and handled way more than she wanted to. Every 4 hours or less they would come to suck her out, all through the night. The first night I woke up and could not hear her breathing (since she is congested I could hear her loud and clear) my heart stopped I jumped out of bed and felt her, she was still breathing. They had just hooked her up to Oxygen. At that moment I thought I guess she really is that bad.

Okay Sorry this story is really long forgive me.

Wednesday Morning I lost it, after being in the hospital all day by myself on Tuesday (until Jeremy came at 7 p.m). The hospital is such a depressing place and I think it hit me. Again thankful for family, My Mom, Vanessa, and McKell all came that night to keep me company. I could have not asked for it at a better time. My spirits were back up and I could carry on. Thursday they released us, what a great feeling to walk out of the hospital. Taylee is doing better, still coughing quite a bit, and not her happy self but her breathing is a lot better.
Thank you so much for all your concerns and prayers. Having a kid in the hospital was a very emotional thing for me. I am so thankful for my mostly healthy kids.

Sisters.... I say YES

Seriously can you tell who is who?

First is Taylee, second is McKell. Crazy how much they look alike.
