When it rains it pours!

So guess where I spent my weekend? I'll tell you anyways. At the hospital. On Friday morning one of my twins started having problems with her asthma. I let her stay home and she took a couple of breathing treatments. Well that evening between 5 and 8 Rob gave her 3 treatments. They didn't seem to be helping me so he called me and I told him I'd meet him at the ER. When we got there they took us back and got a respiratory specialist in right away. They put her on oxygen and albuterol. They also gave her a steroid. All the things we are use to, but it wasn't helping very much. They took an X-ray and the Dr thought she might have pneumonia. We don't have a hospital here locally, so they have to send you to either Carson City or Lake Tahoe. Well they sent us to Carson-Tahoe Hospital's ER after about 5 hours. So we drove the 30 minute drive with her on oxygen. When we got there they started her on more treatments, but this Dr determined that she did not have pneumonia. After a lot of waiting and treatments they finally decided to admit her. Her oxygen levels were in the low 80's. By the time we got up into the room and asked the same questions for a third time Rob and I had been awake for about 22-23 hours. I finally got a 2 hour nap in. During the whole time Makayla is being so brave. She is still in the hospital as I write this. She is improving slowly, but it wasn't until tonight that one of the Docs told us just how bad she was. They were all concerned and had care flight on hold in case they needed to send her to Reno. On a scale of 1-10 and 1 being the worst, he said she was a 3. And they weren't sure she was going to make it through the first night. So of course once I heard that I just broke down. That is my baby! I do know that she is now getting better and I should think positive, but it's hard to think that if we'd hadn't taken her in and just tried to control it ourselves she could have died. The Dr. expects that she won't be able to go home until at least Tuesday or Wednesday. And until now I didn't know just how severe her asthma is. I knew it was bad, but not severe. Today her and I were laughing and teasing each other, so she's in good spirits. She just wants to come home. I had to come home today, because Catie was sick and I have to work in the morning. My boss is letting me leave at noon and then I'll drive back up to Carson. With some luck I'll get to bring her home with me. Rob is staying with her tonight so she isn't alone.

I'll fill everyone in on what else has been in going on this past week soon and also keep you updated on Makayla.

Love You!

On Wednesday, Sept. 10th my dad called me to let me know that one of my favorite guys was in the hospital. My wonderful grandpa had had a heart attack. That morning he was having chest pains so he went to the hospital. They ran all kinds of test, but never really found what the cause was or if it was an actual heart attack. He only had to stay one night. I'm so glad that he is ok and home. It was 10 months ago that he lost my grandma so I get very worried. They say that when you lose your sole mate you lose your heart. I've been afraid for the last year that he might go of a broken heart. I am very proud of how strong he has been. Tomorrow or actually in five minutes he will be 82 years old. My sister and I are going to take him out to dinner the begining of next week. I told him he needed a date. Please pray for him as it is coming up on a hard time for him. This is a picture of he and I last year at Christmas.

Fall is in the air!

So before we now it we will be raking up leaves. Can you believe how fast the year has gone? There are lots of trees with spots of yellow on them. It's so pretty. This is a picture of the trees on my way into work. You can see all the different colors of green and the yellow starting to come out.
So on Wednesday right before 6pm my dad calls to inform me that my grandpa was in the hospital. They thought he had a heart attack. They ran all kinds of tests, but still aren't sure what exactly is wrong. They sent him home, but I worry about him. I don't want him to give up because grandma is gone. On the 16th he will turn 82. What an amazing life he has lived too. When I went to the hospital to see him, he told me that he couldn't believe how many grandchildren and great grandchildren he has. Imagine all that love just because he and grandma loved each other so much!
I know that there is more I want to say, but I'm just too tired to think. Catch up later!
