BOSTON DAY #8 GOING HOME!!!!

I wanted to post a update on Boston, He is finally going home!!! Yeah... poor little guy. He has been through so much. The doctors have discovered that he has severe reflux, and was aspirating whenever he ate, which caused fluid in his lungs and then caused pneumonia. We are so grateful to have caught this early enough to fix the problem. The doctors think that if we give him a month on a feeding tube, it will allow for his lungs and vocal sensations to heal. They are also treating his Thyroid as well. They believe that he will outgrow the reflux, and then we will be able to take the feeding tube out.

I am never amazed anymore, people are just amazing. Since I have been here I have had many experiences, that have touched my heart and uplifted my spirit. People are just amazing... I ran into Dr. Randall, he treated Hannah when we found her cancer, I often think of him and how grateful I am for his knowledge, but most of all for his compassion. As I talked to him, I was amazed that he remembered Hannah, and as a parent you want the doctors to see your child as a individual rather than another "patient". Here at Primary Children's Medical Center they definitely do just that. Our children are so precious, so innocent, and so pure, and you just pray that that is not taken from them when they experience sickness. Often times its a early awakening to our scary world, and as parents we try to protect our children.

I can say that Hannah, Boston and all of my children, have helped me remember what is important in life. Their innocence is so precious, and I am grateful they are protected, that the doctors and nurses and staff understand that. This is a great hospital, and my heart is filled whenever I walk in the doors.

BOSTON DAY #6

We are now at Primary Children's Medical Center and hoping today to be able to find out whats going on with Bossy.... They are doing a Echo to look at his heart and a upper GI test (again) then we will meet with the pulmonary unit to check his lungs....

Hes stable and seems to LOVE all of the attention the nurses and doctors are giving him! But the poor guy has been poked so many times his little arms have bruises on them.

But we are hopeful that they give us some answers today. Thank you for all your support, an prayers!

Boston

I wanted to post a update on Boston, since he was born we have not been able to get a diagnosis as to why he is always "junky" sounding when he breathes. He seems to struggle to breath, and has been admitted to the hospital I think were on our 4th time since his birth! Its all a blurr. This time he actually had Pneumonia ...... Quite scary for a little guy.

Sam and I have been here since Wed. Both of us juggling the kids and hospital. He is doing better and the infection that was in his upper lung is now starting in his lower lung.... Sigh poor guy.

They are now sending Bossy down to PCMC in SLC to do further testing on his lungs. The doctor feel like he may be aspirating. So I will keep you all posted, and ask to keep him in your prayers.

Its amazing how he continues to draw people near to him... all of the nurses love him and comment on his hair, and he always gives them a smile, well at least when they are oogling over him as opposed to poking him with a needle! BOOoooo.

We love you all and ask for your prayers!

SWEET NIBBLETS!

The Clowns Of God

" I know what you are thinking. You need a sign. What better one could I give than to make this little one whole and new? I could do it; but I will not. I am the Lord and not a conjuror. I gave this mite a gift I denied to all of you, eternal innocence. To you he looks imperfect, but to me he is flawless, like the bud that dies unopened, or the fledglings that fall from the nest to be devoured by ants. He never offended me, as all of you have done. He never perverted the work of My Father's hands. He is necessary to you. He will evoke the kindness that will prompt you to gratitude for your own good fortune. More, he will remind you every day that I am who I am, that My ways are not yours, and the smallest dust mite whirled in darkest space does not fall out of my hand. I have chosen you. You have not chosen me. This little one is my sign to you. Treasure." by Morris L. West

GOD

Before He sent each of His children to earth, gave each of them a very carefully selected package of problems.

These, He promised, smiling, are yours alone.

No one else may have the blessings these problems will bring you.

And only you have the special talents and abilities that will be needed to make these problems your servants.

Now go down to your birth and to your forgetfulness, Know that I love you beyond measure. These problems that I give you are a symbol of that love.

The monument that you make of your life with the help of your problems will be a symbol of your love for me, your father.

-Blaine Yorganson

So here is the latest update on Boston.....

He is doing great, he has been gaining weight, and is just sweet and perfect! He is still on O2, but other than that he is doing just great, the girls just love him , and #4 calls him bossy when he cries #4 will come running in the room, saying Bossy!!!!

We had the Utah Down Syndrome Foundation over to our house, and it was our pleasure to learn about the foundation and all the help that is out there for these sweet little children.

They provide help for the children according to there needs, they come to your house to do physical therapy, speech therapy, and any other needs that they might have, it was wonderful to know that there is help.

I am so amazed at how generous people have been, and how much this little spirit has touched so many in such a short amount of time.

I love it when babies are so hungry that they try to suck on anything, it gives me a chance to snuggle and get extra kisses!

#4 with Bostons beenie on his head!! Dana decided to put it on him!

I swear he is the best baby!! This is just another funny picture of him!! Cort this is the hat you and brooke gave Boston!

Boston was not exactly happy after his first bath, but his hair was adorable, so I took the picture anyway.

Bostons first bath

#3 got ahold of the camera again and I thought this picture was funny. So here is our stinkiest member of the family!!!

Buzzy Our Guinea Pig

I LOVE YOU ALL

I am overwhelmed at how great people are, I have been so blessed to have you all in my life!!! Reading the posts made me cry, and it also made me realize how great my friends and family are!!! I wanted to say thanks to everyone for all their help and kindness, but most of all for your prayers and love.



Boston is amazing and just beautiful, he is getting cuter by the min. I am dying to bring him home!!! It is so hard to leave him but hopefully any day now. The main concern is maintaining his body temp, so as soon as he can do that he will be able to come home, he also has to be able to stay on the amount of O2 that they are comfortable with. Which he seems to be doing well. So any day now!!

Update on Boston

These are a few pictures of our new addition.... He is just adorable and even more adorable in person. We are hoping to bring him home on Sat or Sun. The doctor was very happy with him today allot of the concerns he had are not as concerning anymore, mainly his heart now will be the issue.

But he eats like a horse, and that makes everyone very happy!!! So all is well, and I will keep everyone posted mainly through the blog, so check in and know that we love you all and are so grateful for you!

I cant stop kissing his cheeks!

BOSTON

BOSTON SAMUEL NEWEY

He is here!!! We are so excited to announce that Baby Boston is here! He was born on January 19,2009. Born @ 9:30 am 8 lbs 14 oz!!! Yes he is huge! And yes this is the only child that at the last min I decided to go natural....... And yes it hurt like a.....well you get the picture.

We arrived @ about 5 am after I had been in labor all day on Sunday, and all through the night, I was already dilated to a 5 so I decided that I could do it without a epidural, what was I thinking??? I really wasn't that bad until the end. And at that point I had no choice.


He is beautiful.... Tons of jet black hair!! And the Chubbiest cheeks!!

We were surprised to learn that he will have some special needs, he has Down Syndrome. So we are now learning a ton about what his needs will be. To me it just makes him all the more special, he is so precious, and so perfect. There are no words to describe how much I love him, and in a way I have always known that he would be sent to us.... The kids love him and are excited to have him home. He has a few concerns with his heart. I will post more when I have time to explain the details.

He is just perfect and a blessing to our family.

NESTING

Ok people, I am nesting!!! For those of you who may not know what that means, I am preparing my house for the baby!!! It needs a deep cleaning, so I am doing it, I suddenly have a burst of energy!! I just hope I can get it all done before my kiddies mess it all up again!!

I went to the doctor today, and without going into too much detail, the lil guy weighs about 7lbs and is not dropping ( moving down) so the doctor says we can brace yourself "strip your membranes" uuhhgg!! This is not fun at all, and rarely does any good for me except to make me feel miserable for about 24hrs, but maybe it will help speed things along!! The kid weighs 7 lbs, get him out already jk!! All in time!

Ok I totally am late on posting the birthday pictures for #1 but I was having technical difficulty. So Here it is babe HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! It was a fun day, and I am so proud of you and the great example you are to everyone around you.
She has been asked to be a "PEER LEADER" at school, which means she will be able to sport the vest that the peer leaders get to wear!! WOW! Fun stuff.

I love you honey! I hope your year is a great one just like you!!

Oh and yes I will explain the candle situation this time, so I go out of my way to pick out these super cute birthday candles because the last party we had no candles.... Anyway they were so dang cute that someone decided to play with them like a hour before the party & of course they lost them.. so once again do the math! BTW I found the candles in a sack on the floor of someones bedroom the next day!!

Happy Birthday!!! 10 yrs

Mikyla my little niece!!!

Eating Sushi At Windys Sukiyaki for Jades 14th Birthday

Its almost time!!!!

I went to the doctor on Friday and he said that he would start me on Feb, 1!!! Yeah I wont be pregnant forever! I am definitely looking forward to this day, he said it might be sooner, but with my luck it wont be... I feel like a elephant, not only because I am gigantic, but I feel like I have been pregnant forever. ( Aren't elephants pregnant forever)? Anyways we are all set to go I have all the clothes ready the baby gear is out. Come on little guy any day now! The doctor said he weighs 6.5 lbs now and is quite big.... ummm yeah I can feel the foot clear up in my ribs. He is definitly active, especially at night. Why is that the baby always starts moving at night when you are ready to go to sleep. Last night I had heartburn and finally got up at 4:00 and ate a whole bottle of tums smoothies ( they actually taste like candy)! Then I read a little. And went back to sleep only to be awaken by my dog.... Oh man I look forward to the days of sleep...ZZZZs

I am so excited that she has choose to be baptized, I think these pictures say it all she is so sweet and gentle, she is totally ready to be baptized. I am honored to be her Mom! Tonight she made me a card that said that I was the best mom ever, and wishing me a happy new year! Then she asked if we could spend the day together just me and her........ Precious Moments.

" Grace" being her middle name fits her perfect.

# 2 Is going to be baptized!

Sam & Mark on Christmas Eve dressed the same!

#4 played us a little musical number!

This is just a little example of Cortney ruff housing with #1!!!

Dana.... she's so cute!

Three amigos!!! Partying it up all night!!!

~Me and Cort, and my sweet niece~

I had to catch him to get a picture of him!!!!

OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW!!!!

We had so much fun last night!! We went to my Aunt Danas house and played games, and ate food and ate food, did I already say that? We stayed up to bring in the New Year. Cortney my brother made sure to lead the kids in banging pots and pans.... Ummmmm ya it was loud!!! They played Wii and Cortney wound them all up I think only one cried! That's amazing! All the kids built a fort and slept in it. # 4 was the first asleep, but hes easy he just goes down anywhere at exactly 8 o'clock. #3 was the next then #2 #1 finally got to sleep... #2 stayed with the cousins, and #1 wanted to come home and sleep in my bed with me so we crashed about 1 o'clock!

It was quite different than most of our New Year parties...... But we had allot of fun!!! I am glad 2008 is gone, while many fun times happened, I hope 2009 will be even better!!! After all we have a little one coming any day now!! Hopefully not until the end of Jan! What a blessing it is to have a family, and the priceless memories that are created!!
