Where did the month of March go?

Its been too long since I last updated so I decided to do a monthly update to catch up for my own records and when I make these into blog books. 

How about one more picture of the team from Chamberlains first official basketball season. Oh and I think the coach is a handsome one. 

March.

 Where did this  month go?! Oh yes it was spent in the hospital and in Dr. Offices with 2 very sick kids. If we weren't at the hospital or Dr.'s Office we were home away from everyone stuck on the couch watching too much Disney Channel and Movies because the younger two were again too sick to do anything but lay around. 

I think I would chalk this month as one of the scariest as a parent praying like crazy for your child to breath on their own.  Not having to fly to Primary Children's was definitely an answer to prays and a highlight of the month.  

Both Siri and Harrison had Bronchitis. Siri also had RSV and Pneumonia as well thus being her stay in the hospital.  Harrison was a champ and only had to see the Dr. a couple of times and was able to get better on his own. Siri caught us by surprise. She was perfectly healthy one day and the next day (Josh's Birthday to be exact) was super weak that we ended up taking her to the ER. They sent us home after her oxygen levels went up. However, we ended up in the hospital within 24hrs and stayed there for the rest of the week. At one point during the first night they were going to fly her to Primary Children's Hospital but lots of prayers and a few hours of waiting her oxygen levels started to rise enough to keep her in St.George close to us. That would have been extremely hard for me to deal with since I was at the time still nursing Harrison and he was sick and to have to travel up north it would have not been easy.  I am grateful for all the prayers that were offered in our behalf. I feel extremely blessed that she was able to stay in St.George and more blessed that my mom was able to drop everything and come stay and entertain Chamberlain and Harrison at home. Which let me be with her all day and then home in the evenings for Harrison. She brought Harrison to and from the hospital and I would nurse him in the car in the parking lot and she would got sit with Siri and Josh. We feel so blessed to live here close to them. 

She recovered but it took all month and into April. We did nothing but stay home for the most part.

Josh literally spent every minute with her in the hospital. I called him home from work to take her to the ER while I stayed with the other kid.   He never left except one day to come home and shower. He was her constant with new nurses and new Dr.'s coming in to check on her take her vitals and oxygen levels she was confused and the drugs they had on her made her angry and crazy. She stuck to him like glue and for the first time in her short life she didn't want her Mama. I think they bonded in that week and have had the cutest relationship ever since. In away I'm grateful for that time they got to spend together just the two of them. 

As I look back through photos I noticed that we did, before the hospital stint, make it to see the water rising in the new reservoir in Kanab. What a fun time that will be when its full and we can canoe and fish!
