Are we there yet?

So I have been a little stressed lately- I think that it’s totally understandable but it has left me a bit witchy lately. Between moving, surgery, broken fingers and fractured toes (yep that was Taylor and her run in with the leg on the coffee table). Not to mention trying to shop for Christmas, driving the kids to Lehi for school, trying not to make ourselves nuisances for Andy's parents, its been a lot overwhelming. So here is to hoping that life will settle into a routine here in the very near future. But until then I would like to say I am sorry for being short tempered, to tired, having a headache, and just downright stressed. But then I know that you understand :)

YEA its over!

just an update for those who are wanting to know. Andy's surgery went well on Thursday. They removed his gall bladder and took a look around and didn't find anything else. Which is a good thing :) He is slowly coming out of all the drugs and isn't feeling too bad, but of course the pain pills are helping with that. But today was better than yesterday so tomorrow should be better than today. We are still not sure if it took care of the entire problem, but our fingers are crossed!

Update

Just thought that I would update everyone on Andy. He is scheduled for surgery on Thursday but we won't know what time until Wednesday. They will be taking his gallbladder out at St Marks and it should just be outpatient barring complications.

New this week!

Well the last week has been a busy one for us first Coulton went back to the hand surgeon and they x-rayed his hand again adn replaced his cast. Thank Heavens we really are not going to need to have surgery on his hand!!

Also Taylor entered reflections this year for the first time. She is definatly our creative one! She did a post of drawings of each of the four seasons for the theme of Beauty is.. We will post a picture of it when we get it back BUT.. She won 2nd place in the 5th grade!

If you can't tell she is really proud of her accomplishment!

OK I maybe spoke to soon....

Well after talking with the surgeon yesterday, he is very concerned that while Andy's gallbladder is definately causing problems he is not sure that its the only thing wrong. He has symptoms of gallbladder disease but he also has symptoms that are not consistent with the disease. So they are going to go in tomorrow and do an upper scope to make sure that there isn't anythign wrong with his small intestines that they will need to fix while they are in taking out his gallbladder. So I will let you know tomorrow how it goes!

Eureka!!!!

Well for once all of the tests and doctors appointments have been worth it! We just found out today that Andy's gallbladder is only working at 9% of normal- so it might as well not be working at all! In other words it has joined the other side. So they are going to take it out! We see the surgeon tomorrow and they will schedule a date hopefully not to far from now. But Yea!! we finally know what is making him so sick - now maybe he will be able to regain the 20 lbs that he lost in the last 4 weeks :)

Moving Day is finally here

Moving Day is Officially Saturday November 7th! That is just a couple of days away. We are starting at about 8:30 am and can use all of the help we can get! The next question that you are all going to ask is where are you going.... Its a really good question but we really don't know the answer. For now we are putting all of our stuff in storage (oh I hope that 2 -16 foot PODS are enough) And are going to go and stay with Andy's parents for hopefully just about 4-6 weeks. We are still trying to buy a house but our credit score is just not going up as fast as we want it to. Not that it has very far to go but we have to make it to 620. So if you can come and help PLEASE do so, you can never have to many people helping.
