June 13, 2008 CLOSING!

Well today was the day!  The culture from the wound swab yesterday came back negative and so they took Scott back to the surgery suite this afternoon and stitched and stapled him up.  He had a rough night last night and didn’t sleep well.  He received some type of med for nausciousness (yeah i know spelling is bad) then they gave him a HUGE bolus of his morphine.  well that knocked him out for the morning and well the afternoon was taken care of by the sedation of the surgery.  so NOW at 9:30 pm he is awake.  we have had alot of visitors come see us up here and really lifts Scott’s mood up and helps to pass the time.  some of my family is coming tomorrowto visit and I think thier main goal is to try to get me out of here for awhile.  Which will be good but I will be torn and want to be here too.  I felt that way last night when I went to a family wedding here in clarksville.

Well I think I will get some sleep while he is feeling pretty good.

Well, we thought that Scott was doing better.  but well he wasn’t.  He went into SEVERE pain Monday night and was shaking and convulsing he was in so much pain.  SO I MADE him come to the ER and his parents helped me get him there. 

After 2 Morphine shots he started feeling better but they did a CT scan and couldn’t really see much so they took him for a CAT scan.  The dr. came in at 3:15 am Tuesday and said that she had already called the surgeon and he was on his way.  Scott needed emergency surgery becaue he had perforated his bowel and had an abscess.  They weren’t sure what else was going on and wouldn’t know until they got in to surgery.  so they wheeled him in at 5am and surgery started at 5:30am.  He came out of surgery and recovery at about 9 am.  They removed his right colon/appendix and 80 cm of his small intestine.  Scott is doing so much better now it is unreal! 

The dr said that he was about to go septic and if we hadn’t had gotten him in to the ER when we did it wouldn’t have been long and he wouldn’t be here today.  So Scott’s dad said that I have one heck of a trump card to play now.

We (Scott and me cause you know I am not leaving him here) will be in the hospital at least 7-10 days.

What we really need is prayers that healing comes quickly and that we don’t have any set backs now.  Thank you!

Well we had Jacob for the weekend.  He and I had a TON of fun!  he played at the inlaws, with phoebe, tadpoles, frogs, rode and drove the tractor, tried to pet cows, went swimming, to church, and played video games with Scott.  Jacob had a blast. 

Scott had a Chron’s flair up Saturday but seems to be doing a bit better tonight.

Well, I was going home yesterday but Tara asked me to stay and watch Brant for her today.  So I did!

He is doing SO MUCH BETTER!  He is back to him self now!  WAHOO! hehehhe

June 3, 2008

Well today was an eventful day.  I received a phone call from Tara telling me that she was taking Brant to the dr.  He had been crying all morning and she couldn’t get him to stop.  The dr. sent her to Children’s Hospital to have him checked out.  I drove to Little Rock to be there and he really needed his Aunt Darcy.  After running some tests they decided that he had a stomach virus that was causing him severe abdominal cramps.  Let’s just say that he scared us all!

SO SORRY it has been so long again.  been absolutely crazy around here.  With Brant’s arrival and me starting work again I keep forgetting to post on here.  I am so TIRED when I get home that I just basically crash.  Today is basically my day off…except I will go in mid afternoon to help out a bit.  Friday’s are my REAL day off. 

 

Sorry so short of a post but I need to finish laundry and get a few other things done around here…oh that is other stuff going on around here.  fixing up and yard work…

HAPPY EASTER!

So Sorry (once again!) that it has been so long!  I have been meaning to post here but never seemed to get here!

Scott and I are in Branson this weekend through Tuesday.  Just on a little vacation for us. 

Alot has happened in the last 3 weeks or so…main thing is that I am done watching Babe.  Last friday was my last day with him.  I start “filling in” with the new nanny job on Tuesday.  I will fill in till the nurse who is due any day now comes back to work after a month of leave.  I will be in charge of a 4 1/2 yo, 3 1/2 yo, a 3 month old and a 1 month old.  ALL GIRLS!  which will be the BIGGEST difference!  I have had boys for the past at least 5 years…

I will be an aunt again on the 4th of April so I will be in Little Rock that weekend.  I am excited about that! hehehe

I guess that is the main things for now…  just adjusting to married life.  BUT LOVING IT!

WHOA!  Didn’t realize how long it had really been!  SORRY YOU ALL!

 Let’s see…a quick update…hmmmm  well I am only working 2 days a week now. 

What else…oh lets see…My family all came up to Clarksville last Sunday to celebrate my 30th bday.  It was great!  After church everyone came to the house and we grilled hamburgers.  Mom brought potatoe salad, deviled eggs and a birthday cake.  MIL brought Fruit Salad and Nannie brought chips.  Everything was WONDERFUL!  The house looked pretty good too!  (well minus the spare bedroom and the sunroom that is! ) hehehe

This weekend Jacob is coming up to spend the weekend with us.  His parents have a dinner to go to on Saturday and I said I would keep him but that I would take him home with me for the weekend.  They had no problem with it at all. 

Jacob is VERY excited to come to Clarksville.  He can’t wait to come to Nanny and Scott’s house.

I guess that is about it for now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDISON!!!

Today is Addison’s FIRST BIRTHDAY!  Scott and I came to Little Rock yesterday and picked up my ring (that was being sautered together) and chilled at my parents house.   We will be here till after lunch tomorrow.  Then we will head back home. 

Tara, Amber, Scott, Jordan, Dad and I all worked on the scrap room so that it is ready for then to scrap in.  Scott and I need to get more plywood down and work on cleaning out the apartment so that we can get more of my stuff up there.  I am tired from all the partying!
