Lil' Trooper

Craytons view almost 98% of the time while at the hospital + a few visitors!

Poor little Crayton had to have his appendix out on Monday afternoon, and I must say he was quite the trooper. It all started 3:00 a.m Sunday morning. He came and got me up and said he was sick in his throat. So I got him a drink and went to tuck him back in bed. Well when I got down stairs, Porter was in the bathroom puking. Then Crayton said I'm sick too and then he puked. So here I am with two little sick throwing up boys. I took them both up stairs and made them a bed on the floor with bowls for each. Porter instantly fell asleep and awoke refreshed and ready to go for the day. Crayton on the other hand continued to throw up every 20- 30 minutes until 12:00 noon. He kept telling us his belly hurt really bad but that is to be expected when you have been puking your guts out. But we were a little concerned because Porter was just fine so we thought maybe they had eaten something bad. Later in the evening, Crayton ate some chicken noodle soup and crakers and didn't throw up again. So we thought he was on the mend. Monday morning, he woke up still sick, still having a bad belly ache and it had moved lower into his stomach. Wade kept saying he thought he might have appendicitis but I being the positive one was like oh he's fine, he will be feeling better soon but by noon I knew that was not the case and called Wade. We then had Dr. Melling check him out and of course he totally agreed with Wade and so Wade had some blood work done and that came back sky high so Crayton went straight into surgery. They barley got inside in time. His appendix was oozing infection and all pussy and ready to burst. The surgery went fine and all was well. I am so glad that I have my dear husband to help take care of our kids. He was able to give Crayton his I.V and carry him back into the O.R. and stay with him through the surgery. Crayton was a tough little guy and we were amazed at how tough he was for being so sick. He stayed one night in the hospital and played the play station the entire time and got fun get well gifts so he was pretty happy. Now that we are home it is all I can do do keep him down and taking it easy. He is doing well and feeling a lot better. We thank everyone for all their help and for the the care and concern. Thank You! (I may have mispelled some words and the spell checker isn't working!)

This was a special day, It was the day Crayton actually let me comb his hair!

We had a great Valentines Day so I thought I would post a few pictures of the kids on Valentines and a few random shots. Take note of my silly, little sweet Rex. He has on the gloves, the boots, and the hat. They are must have on accessories for him. We can't even leave the house without these items. And he puts them all on by himself. He is hilarious. I am not sure what we will do in the spring and summer I guess he will be wearing shorts, snow boots and gloves!! Anyway all is well with us.

The Basket


Rexton thought he was so funny because he dumped out all the toys in the basket, then he decided to put Elsie in the basket and then climb in with her. He was pretty proud of himself and it actually worked out to be a pretty good way of keeping her contained. (For like a day or two and then she figured out how to tip it over and crawl away). She totally loves the boys and watches them all the time. She has a great love/hate relationship with Rex. Loves when he sits by her and plays and does tricks, hates when he pinches or pokes her cheeks or drags her around the house by one leg, or covers her with the blanket and then sits on her! No really he isn't too bad but he has his moments. He truly loves her and wants to be wherever she is. It is sweet.
