Halloween

Halloween was kind of a drag this year because it was very cold and rained all night. The boys didn't care much though. They had a great time and got a ton of candy. We also had fun carving our pumpkins.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch by our house and picked out some really cool pumpkins. They also have a little maze for the kids to run around at. Of course Cooper was every where and Russ and I were chasing him all over the place.

Fishing Fun

My dad took us fishing in his new fishing boat. The boys had so much fun. They each caught a couple fish.

Braxtons Surgery

Braxton had been sick all week. He came home on Tuesday not feeling well but complaining of a soar throat and fever. He stayed home from school the rest of the week because he couldn't stop throwing up. On Friday I finally took him to his Doctor. He looked him over and checked him out for appendicits but said it looked more just like a stomach bug but to watch him close. A few hours later we was doing worse and so I called his doctor and he said to take him over to the ER. I went to McKay and he got right in. They put in and IV which he hated and then started fluids. They did an ultrasound but didn't see much. They said it was just a virus and to come back tomorrow for a follow up. The next morning he couldn't even get out of bed so I got ready and took him back to the ER. He now had a temp and wasn't looking good at all. They ended up doing a CT and found that he had a ruptured appendix and that his appendix wasn't in the spot it should normally be in and thats why his pain was higher up in his abdoman. The doctor said this was a very serious matter and he was going to put a drain in for a while and then give him antibiotics for a month and once the infection was gone he would take out his appendix. At the end of his explaining he said I had the option of going to Primarys and if it were his kid he would go there. Me and Brax got in the ambulance and headed down to Primarys. Once we got there the surgeon, Dr. Scaife came to the bedside and said he just wanted to preceed with taking out his appendix. So that night Braxton went into surgery and had his appendix taken out. It had ruptured but kind of capsulized in the back so he got it all out. Because it was a stage 4 rupture we have to stay in the hospital for at least 5 days and then we will check his cbc and make sure the infection is gone. Then we can go home. Now it is day 2 post op. Braxton got to finally eat and was really excited. We are pretty bored but we have played games and colored 2 pictures watched a bunch of movies. I am going to go home tonight to be with Logan and Cooper and lucky Russ gets to sleep on this nice chair.
