I showed the boys where everything was, then I have them the house keys, and gave the kids a quick hug and kiss before heading off to the hospital.
This is a picture that my brother Clint took while they were watching the kids. :)
When I got to the hospitalAaron was in a great mood! He has been moved to another floor, still being monitered VERY CLOSELY, but no longer in ICU!!!
He told me that our Bishop had been in to see him, and that he had already soon his Cardiologist, and his Endocrinologist's associate. They are currently doing some blood tests, as well as some other tests, and we are trying to make it VERY CLEAR that we want them to FIX HIM this time rather than wait a month here, or 2 months there just sitting and waiting and doing NOTHING!
At about noon my mom and I headed down stairs to get some lunch. On our way out, Aaron's mom ran up to us and handed me a copy of Peete's Dragon which she had bought for them, and I know that they are just going to LOVE IT!
When my mom and I got back from lunch, Aaron's parents were just getting ready to leave. I saw them for a total of ma bye 5 minutes all together, but I know that Aaron was very happy to get to spend some time with his mom & dad today!
We stayed for a little while longer, and then my mom & I headed home to spend some time with the kids. I wanted to be with them for a little while to give them some sense of normal life since they didn't see me at all until bed time yesterday.
So we st oped by the apartment, picked up the kids, and Kyler, Clint had to go home to sleep for work, and headed to my Grandparents house to give the kids a change of Scenery.
Here are some video's that I took of them to show Aaron. He can't see them at all because kids under the age of 12 are not allowed in the hospital right now.
This is what Kyler taught Kyle to do today. :) I hope you can hear what he says! It is so cute!
And here is a video of the kids just having fun playing! My grandma has a little toy tea set, and both kids LOVE to make everyone tea and doughnuts! It is so cute! Kenzie is in her swim suit today because she HAD TO WEAR IT!!! I couldn't get her to let me put ANYTHING else on her! I just let it be though because out of the 2 kids, she is taking this whole situation the hardest right now.
After playing for a while, Kyle wanted to watch a movie. So Kyler was looking for it, and came across one called Bambi Meets Godzilla. It is so funny! And I was so excited when I found it on Youtube!
After playing for a while, we took Kyler to buy some pizza's, then we dropped him and the kids off at the apartment, and my mom & I headed back to the hospital. When we arrived, Aaron was sitting up eating dinner, and still in a great mood!
I brought him some cough drops which he asked for permission to have, and I got myself a bag of Hersh's Kisses, which I enjoyed eating while he ate his dinner. I tried to share with my mom, but she didn't want any. :)
At 7 pm, I kissed Aaron goodnight, and my mom dropped me off at home, and Kyler went home with his left over pizza in hand, but he didn't get away before I grabbed 2 pieces for myself! There is nothing better than a day filled with chocolate and free pizza!!!
Soon after that, I put the kids to bed. It didn't take them very long to fall asleep which was a relief, but it is nice to have a little alone time to relax. Life is VERY stressful right now, and sometimes if feels good to just sit here, and not have to worry about anything but myself. I hope that doesn't sound selfish.
Thats about it for the events of our day.
Before I end this post, I want to again say thank you to everyone who has helped us. I am going to try and thank everyone personally, but if I forget someone, please don't be offended. I am honestly trying to remember everyone!
MOM- Thank you for driving me EVERY WHERE, taking my kids from baby sitter, to baby sitter, making sure that I eat, supporting me emotionally, cleaning up my kitchen at 10:30 at night while I sat at the table with a migraine eating dinner, sitting in the ER waiting room for HOURS just so that I had support there, even though I spent most of the time in another room than you. Just having someone there with me is the most comforting thing of all!, and anything else because I know I probably forgot something! :)
