"oh, what a beautiful morning...."

 what a GORGEOUS day it is!!!  last night we went to home depot and bought some flowers that i got partially planted and 2 new flags... i was able to get stuff done a little before it got dark and then this morning God kissed those beautiful flowers with some sonshine... look at the beautiful flag flying in the small breeze.

what a funny little guy i have!?!  he keeps me in stitches!  today we got him signed up for t-ball.  he is sooooooooo excited!  he got on the phone and called oma and opa, and then uncle jos and he told uncle jos not to worry about missing his games, 'cause he could just watch him on t.v.  ;)  he told him he'd be on espn. ;)  I LOVE IT!!  i've been chuckling about it all day. :)  gotta' love'em!

jayden update...

we made it home! yesterday afternoon we were released from the hospital and able to go home. we finally got jayden to drink something by having a contest with mommy. we'd see who could drink faster and she beat me twice... little stinker! ;) so they released us at about 2:30 ish and when we got home she was happy, but very worn out! she fell asleep in the play room sitting on a chair. she still isn't fully herself, but with time, hopefully she'll get there. she is very worn out, only wanting to lay there and not do much... except of course, fighting with brother. ;) we were very blessed witha wonderful supper brought to us by a great friend, Bethany Adams. it was very nice not to have to worry about dinner. thanks everyone for the prayers, calls, visits, concerns, and everything else. it was greatly appreciated!

1 march 2012

just an update to those of you who haven't heard... i am up at the hospital with jayden. they admitted her yesterday with pneumonia and rsv. her fever was as high as 107.3 at one time and has been up and down. she is on oxygen quite a bit (took her off for the last 2 or 3 hours), an iv and the are giving her quite a bit of meds. she looks much better than yesterday, but they say she will probably still need to stay 'till sunday at least. thanks for the prayers everyone.

......   day 3    

i go from crying to rejoicing, to crying, to rejoicing.... jayden is doing much better. her lungs sound great! her fever has been down closer to 99 and she's going without oxygen. PTL!! now it's just getting her to eat and drink. she doesn't have much desire to do either one, but for breakfast this morning she ate 1/2 a banana, a bowl of grapes and 2 bites of my omelet. SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT!! they say if i feel comfortable enough with her and if she continues as she is, we may go home late tonight. pending on how she does the rest of the day. please pray.... both for her and her health, but also, for this mommy. i now have rsv myself, from being up here with her and i'm just exhausted emotionally and physically right now. i'm not sure i'm up to her going home yet, with me being her sole caretaker. please pray.
