Mya's Surgery

We had a very busy 2 days with Mya in Seattle. The first day was full of appts and the second day was her surgery. When we got to the hospital the day of her surgery she was already sick of people she didn't know touching her. As long as I held her she did good. I gave her a bath with the sterilizing soap and wiped her down to prep her for her muscle biopsy. After she was all ready we decided that she needed some thing to calm her because she would cry as soon as a medical staff member would enter the room. After she drank it about 5 minutes later she started to doze off and make weird noises. It was really funny and cute the way she delt with the meds. The nurse came in to take her and she just turned to us and waved and said bye. The surgery took about 45 minutes and she was put into the recovery room. I heard her scream when she woke up and knew that they were bringing her out. When they handed her to me she just laid her head down on my shoulder and wouldn't let any one else come near her. After a few minutes she kept pointing to the door and would say go, go. She wanted to get out of there so bad! I ended up having to stand out of the door with her because she was getting anxious and kicked around making her incision bleed. As soon as we left the surgery area she was so happy! She was smiling again and playing. She did really good on the 4 1/2 hour drive home. When we got home she was so excited to see her siblings! She scooted around and played with them like nothing ever happened! She has been like that ever since! It is day 3 after her surgery and she is her normal self! I'm so proud of her and the way she handled things.

SST training

Hyrum's SST trainee group went on a ruck the other day and came up on this old bridge. They build a swing off of it and would swing into the river below. Hyrum is the one with the red shorts standing in the middle.

Mya Standing!!!

Mya can now pull herself to a stand! Im so excited that she is progressing so well! She is such a happy little girl and she has found many different ways to get around. But now that she is more curious she is starting to stand on her own and will be walking before we know it!

Medical Lake

Last weekend we went to Madical Lake. It was really fun and very pretty! They have a great paved walkway that is ideal for families with small children. It was still a little chilly, but we did go pretty late in the day. It was a very calm and relaxing experience!

Cross Fit

Hyrum went to a cross fit workout memorial today. Every one was in teams of 4 from SST trainees and Hyrums team finished first! The workout was a 2 mile ruck, 300 pull ups, 300 KB's, 300 wall balls, 300 push ups and 300 box jumps. It was really fun and the turnout was great. It was a great way to remember why we have Memorial Day and to pay tribute to those who have fallen fighting for our freedom that so many take for granted!

Macoy's Surgery

Macoy had his tonsils taken out yesterday. He did so good! He was the only kid who didnt cry in the recovery room. So far the healing process has gone very well! The dr. said that since he always had a sore throat that he would heal very well with out much complaint. Well, the dr. was right! We are on day 2 of the healing process and he hasnt complained once! Im so glad that he is going to feel better! I just hope that he keeps healing so well! He has definately enjoyed getting to eat popsicles all day too! These pictures are after his surgery while he was chomping down on his popsicle.
