Monster Trucks

Friday we were able to take the boys to the monster trucks! Ive always wanted to but worried that Connor wouldn't like them cause how loud they were. I was totally wrong. He was in love with them! He was so excited when i told him that we were going. He kept saying in the car "Are we there yet". When we got there, we couldn't get to our seats fast enough. Connor was pulling me and running to get there. When we sat down and got the ear plugs in, Connor never took his eyes off them. I had to beg and beg to get two pictures. He got mad at the trucks cause they didn't go fast enough, or high enough. He would always have the rock and roll sign on his hand while they were racing or free style. This is why i love having a boy! :) I remember going to monster truck EVERY year with my dad, and now I'm so excited to start taken Connor every year! Cant wait to share that with him!

Thanks baby for being my main squeeze.

He is my BEST FRIEND

Before my dad comes home, my mom wanted to paint their room. She didn't want him coming home to the same thing he left when he was sick. She wanted to have something to go with the new life we all have. She was pretty worried that we wouldn't have anytime to do this. We were always up at the hospital that really we didn't have time. But Last Friday Torie and i stayed home to shock my mom when she got home from work. We headed to walmart, got some paint, and started paint the room. My mom wanted some brown in the room and wanted a different color on one of the walls. My dad favorite color is blue and we thought the brown and blue went great together. Its was such a pain to get the wall paper down, but after that painted went really fast. It did take us all day to do it but i think it turned out great. We still have to hang pictures up and a wall word, but we will get to that. :) We changed the whole room up so it would be easy for my dad to get in and out with the wheelchair and with walking. It worked out perfect.

Lets just say my parents LOVE it. They thought it looked great.

 We had some awesome help, from these cute little boys!

Again

So i am by far the worst blogger ever. I really do try and keep it updated as much as i can, i mean every day i think about what im going to say in my blogs, but i just never get around to them. Ive been busy these last few weeks. We have been trying to learn everything i need to know before my dad gets home. I had to learn wound care cause my dad still has an open wound on his belly, i had to learn how to give him shots, learn how to work his legs and arms out. I mean the list just goes on and on. Ive been getting to the hospital about 9 and not getting home till about 9. So its a full day and by the time i get home all i want to do is sleep. So im sorry i havent been able to keep you updated as much as i would hope i could. Now with my dad home i can do it more..

Okay so lets go back a week ago. It was a Wednesday and we went up to the burn unit to get a check up on his belly. My dad was fine all day long till after 4:00. At that time he just felt like he was filled with gas. Well he was but he was still filled with poop. It got so bad that once again they had to put the NG tube back down. Here we go again. They started him on Iv's and started giving him a LOT more medication to make him poop. He was on 4 different types to make him go. So he was going all day and all night long. I felt so bad for him. Finally after 3 days they were able to take the tube out, but he was still on the medication to make him go poop. But that was better then having to keep the tube down him and possible an other surgery . Its been almost two weeks and my dad has been so much better. Now that he is on this medicationto make him go poop, you can tell a differences in him. But after a hand full of days with him pooping 24/7, my dad was getting really tired of it and wanted to see if there was anything they could do about it. Well they did a few test and told us that finally everything was back to normal! FINALLY. It felt so good to hear that his belly and everything was noraml and going good.. We are just hoping that nothing like this will happen again! My dad has been though so much, that we dont want anything to go wrong again. We are so ready for him to be home again! We just cant wait. :)
