Part 1
Since it has been so long since my last update, I am going to do this is sections so that each part isn't too long. May was a busy month for us. Zachs surgery was just one thing. It was also Mothers Day, and Chrsitans and my birthdays. While Christian is proudly telling everyone he is 40 because he doesn't want to have to have another birthday for awhile, we are both actually 31 and proud of it. Both boys finished school and were sad to say goodbye to their teachers.


Zach had to say another tough good-bye. His sweet, sweet girlfriend was moving to New Mexico and we were invited to her going away party. He just wanted to be next to her the entire time. Josh also had to say good bye to his best friend in the whole wide world Radley as he was moving to Idaho.

Since this brings us up to June, my next post will be about our trip to Disneyland and the woderful adventure that was!

Zach and the amazing marble
Why do my kids like to see if they can give me heart attacks? Last Tuesday as I was getting Zach ready for school he started chocking and quit breathing. After sitting him up he started to breath again but seemed to be having a horrible time. I couldn't see anything in his mouth or throat but Christian and I rushed him to the closest hospital. That's where we got this lovely x-ray or the marble in his windpipe. First they were going to transfer him to Primary Children's but when the doctor saw this x-ray he came running out to the ambulance and refused to let us move him. If the marble had moved even a fraction it would have completely blocked his ability to breath! They rushed him into surgery and, thankfully without a tracheotomy, managed to get it out. I would think he would have been bothered by this but he doesn't seem to be. We have scoured the house looking for and throwing away all the marbles we come across (Josh was very sad to see Hungry Hippos disappear) but he seems to keep finding them. Since then I have already had to take 3 more out of his mouth. Whats next!?!?!?!

Okay, so there are some pictures to get through the end of 2009! So much is always going on that I seem to be really bad about keeping this site updated. Early in December I started having worse stomach/abdominal pains than normal. It got to the point that I was swelling so bad that I looked pregnant. After 2 ER visits and a regular doctor visit I started the Celiac diet. My amazing cousin Cami helped me with everything to do with the diet, giving me recipes and things to try. After awhile on the diet the swelling was gone but the pain was not. I know it will take months and maybe years to repair damage done to my body from eating the gluten all this time but the doctor still seemed worried. In January I finally had an appointment with a GI doctor. He ran a slew of blood work and had me come in last week for an EGD/Colonoscopy. What the found was .......nothing. He took several biopsies and removed a single small polyp but basically all he can tell me so far was that my stomach and intestines look inflamed. That's it. Swell. So now I'm back on the diet and trying to ignore the pain daily while trying to keep up with the kiddos. On a happier note! In December Zach finally received his Wolf for cub scouts! He actually earned it earlier but we kept missing pack meeting. He should have earned his bear pretty soon now. Josh turned 6 in January and we took him to Classic Fun Center to celebrate. He is doing well in school though we are still fighting with the ADHD meds he takes. We started a new one that he has to take twice a day but it really seems to be making a difference. I keep waiting for it to snow enough that I can take the boys sledding. Josh has been begging all winter but there is never any snow on the hill to go. Hopefully soon or he is going to go mud slidding.
