This is our poor little Ty this last week in Primary Children's Hospital ICU. He had a very severe asthma attack, which he's never had before, on Wednesday night. We took him into the ER, and after spending the night there they admitted him. The second day he got a lot worse, and had to be sent to the ICU, where he was put on a bipap machine to help him breathe, and about 6 different drugs. The mask scared him so much that they had to keep him sudated while he wore it.
After going three days without being able to eat or drink anything, they were going to have to put a feeding tube in Ty unless he could do well without the breathing treatments. Right at the deadline he was able to come off of the treatments & have some liquids. Yay!!
We were so excited when we got to the hospital Sunday morning and saw him smile!! He had improved so much in one night, so we were able to move out of the ICU, and on Monday night we finally went home. We are so thankful for our family and friends who helped us with our kids and everything else while we were in with Ty! He even made it home for his birthday yesterday!!

This is the newest member of our family! The kids got Chloe Christmas morning, with a little bow on her head. They were so excited!! She's a puggle (half pug, half beagle), and she's been a great little puppy so far! p.s. If you know us well, you'll know why we chose the name Chloe. Shame on those of you who don't know - she's one of our favorite characters from 24. :)
Ty and Emma were glued together most of the time. Here they are playing Nintendo. She is such a sweetheart!! She had a hard time falling asleep, and ended up falling asleep in Chris's arms, which he loved.
Davis and TJ were a little stir-crazy, so I told them to go outside and play soccer. I guess they weren't too sure of the rules. Instead of kicking the ball into the goals, they threw it over the top, then raced to get the ball first, usually tackling each other. They had so much fun together, and Davis has been missing him so much ever since he left!
After playing outside and eating dinner, the boys had some popcorn. They started out sitting at the bar, and soon the popcorn was gone. When they asked for more, I noticed half the bag ended up on the floor, so I told them to get on the floor and finish. I know, it's terrible, but I promise the floor was clean!
We did it! We had 7 kids in all - ages 10, 8, 5, 4, 2, 2, and 1. It got a little crazy at times, but it was so much fun!! We love these kids so much!
