Jason and Tristan went to the Harlem Glob Trotters Game




Jason and Tristan had a great time. They sat in the first row, floor seats. They were actually sitting on the court. It was a great father and son activity. It made Tristan feel very special!!

I will someday catch up!

Okay....I know I need to post a million pictures. I never posted the rest of our disney pictures, Kaleb's birthday, Hannah Montana Concert, and last but not least Kaleb's surgury (tonsils and adnoids out). I promise to try and catch up. My problem is I can't find the cord to download pictures and as soon as I do I promise to post more pictures. Well, I can at least tell you about Kaleb. On Feb. 7th Kaleb was set to have his tonsils and adnoids out. Jason was going to take the other kids to school and meet me at the hospital. So, I leave the house at 6:40 am. I had to be to the hospital at 7:00am. At exactly 6:48 a stupid man rearends my car! A bunch of cars started to slow down infront of me so I STOPPED but he did not. I looked in my rearview mirror and prepared for the impact. After he hits me I pull over (I am one block from the hospital) and get out of my car to go check out the damage. I see my car and so I look at these two guys sitting in their car (they had a look of horror in their eyes) probably because I threw my hands in the air and started yelling at them. I said, "I have to be to the hospital in 10 minutes because my 3 year old is having surgury and you hit me!" The guys said, "I tried to swurve." I said, "Well you didn't quite make it!" The guys says, "I have insurance." I said, "Thank goodness!" (I might be omitting some of the mad words!)So I quickly get all the insurance stuff and jump back into the car and go to the hospital with a tail light hanging on by a wire. Everything goes fine until I am talking to the doctor and he says something about "tomorrow". I asked him what he meant and he says, "didn't my office tell you he was spending the night." I about died!!! So of course we had to figure how to make sure the other two kids got to school and picked up. Kaleb was a winner patient until about 8:00 pm. His oxogyn level was not high enough so the oxogyn alarm kept going off. Then he started coughing up a whole lot of blood and he had a fever. So they moved us rooms so that they could better monitor him. Then the whole night I spent shaking Kaleb to remind him to breath. Every 5-10 minutes the oxogyn alarm would go off. I tried sleeping in the chair, the window seal bed and finally the end of Kaleb's bed. Between the 4 hour intervals for his vitals, pain medication intervals, and his oxogyn alarm going off. I didn't sleep. He was refusing to drink so that is why he had a fever. When they finally did release us the next day we came home and again he got a fever. His tempt was 102.7. The doctor said that if his temp went to 103 or 104 then we would have to go back to the hospital. WE WERE NOT GOING BACK TO THE HOSPITAL! So I set the timer for 45 minutes (he had to drink 8 oz by then), and I used the medicine dropper to suck up Gatorade and shoot it into his mouth with him fist fighting me! Finally, his fever broke due to us force feeding him liquids! I have been sleeping on the floor in the living room every night since. He still constantly wakes up and needs drinks so this was the best situation. But tonight....I am handing the tourch to Jason. He is taking over the floor duty! I get the bed to myself!!!! Anyway, I will get those pictures up soon so you can see how pathetic he looked! (I promise)
