Nothing much

So polly informed me that my blog page is cute but hard to read (which i agree) so I changed it and I guess i just like the backgrounds that are hard to read I don't know if the new one is much better. Its going to have to do for a little while though just cuz I'm to lazy to try and find a new one. Anyways so I took Jaden sledding a couple days ago we went with Nikki and her boys and I'm so mad I forgot to take my camera. But I did get one on my camera phone that I'll have to put on later. It was so freakin bright anyways that i couldn't even see what i was taking a picture of. So Jaden and I were the first to go down he was ok until we turned around and were going backwards after that he said that it was too scary. Then nikki and Aiden went and he loved it. And Ashton he was like Jaden he went once and that was enough. But i think they all had fun just being out and playing in the snow. Then we got kicked out (we went sledding at the hill at canyon view where school was still going on) so some man came out and was saying something we couldn't hear him so we just figured that he was telling us to leave. But it was fun while it lasted. The Next day we packed up and headed to good old Delta. we didn't do too much we just went home to go to the dentist fun huh. The boys love going there though they have so much fun playing with all these different toys. And good news I had 0 cavities. Brandon had 1 ha ha really that's not funny but here's the thing sometimes I don't use toothpaste, just water to brush. And it really really bothers him that I don't use toothpaste he says that I'm going to get cavities bla bla bla. And then we go to the dentist and look who had the cavity so of course i had to say "um maybe you should try no toothpaste." Ok so I'm just rambling on about nothing so I guess I'll go I don't have any pictures again sorry I'm boring.

Back to work

Ok so i didn't do very good keeping everyone updated on Brandon. He got released on the 9th and is doing much better now that he doesn't have his chest full of blood. He even went back to work today. (I'm a little worried about that I hope he doesn't over do it) So I'm happy to say that things are getting back to normal. Nothing to exciting going on. Were just trying to prepare ourselves to be in debt for the next 30 year's. Hopefully our insurance will cover ALOT of the medical expense's. I'm sooo grateful that were lucky enough to have insurance. Or we would really be in debt for the next 30 years. Did you know that if you have a car or a house the government considers you to be rich? When Brandon was in the hospital the financial lady came in to talk to us. She told us to apply for Medicaid so we did only to get turned down because we have 2 cars and a house. I was like ok we still owe alot on our house and Brandon can't work so were living off of my part time income. I doesn't make much sense to me. In order for you to get any help from the government you have to not have a house or car and be lazy and not work. It makes me think that we live in a messed up world. So if any of you are thinking about trying to get help from the gov make sure you meet these requirements. no job, no home, no car. Ok I probably shouldn't have even brought that up. There are alot of people who lost there jobs and need help and I'm glad that there getting that help. I guess I'm just feeling bad for myself. We just needed a little help since Brandon couldn't work and I'm only getting 24 hours at work. And they think "oh well since you have 2 cars and a house you could sell them and pay for your bills." Oh well what ever. I hope no one was offended by that. moving on Jaden and Jaxon have been quit the little dancer's lately I'm going to try and put a video on here of them dancing. it's kind of long but you have to watch it till Jaden does his "buckin bronco" move. The boys have been there active little self's. Jaxon is a handful but I'm hoping that his love for cleaning doesn't ever stop. He still love's to cook and he really Love's to vaccum. So we get the vaccum out for him and let him go. The only problem is that the vaccum is bigger then he is so he can't really move it around to well. And Jaden still Love's to draw he can sit at the table all day and just draw he's even learning how to draw his name. Thanks again to everyone who has helped us while Brandon was sick. Thanks for all the meals, watching the boys (and Brandon), The prayers and the support. It makes things so much better just to know that we have the best Family and friends. We love you all and thanks again. Ok well I can't get the video or pictures to work. It says that my pictures are corrupt or the wrong format so i guess this will be a boring post sorry.

Getting up to date

Wow I feel like alot has happened since i last updated. I guess I'll begin with Christmas. We had a pretty good Christmas The boys were so excited to open there presents. Jaden had to jump up and down after he opened each of his. And Jaxon had fun tearing off the wrapping paper and his new elmo toy. actually I think we all loved his elmo. except maybe brandon he was kind of getting sick of hearing it. Anyways so we opened presents and then went to my sisters and ate some ham and prime rib and played some guitar hero. We had a whole band going on two people playing guitar a singer and a drummer. It was pretty fun my dad even showed off his awesome guitar skills. But the best part was when me and Nikki decided to take pictures of everyone. I haven't laughed that hard in a looong time. It was so funny watching every one's face's you really had to concentrate if you missed to many note's then you messed it up for the whole band. So after some guitar hero we went home and hung out with Brandon's mom and dad for a bit so all in all it was a pretty good Christmas. Then we had New Years I had to work New Year's day but new years eve Me and the boys went to my sisters again to play more guitar hero and eat lost of good food. Now for an update on Brandon his ribs seem to be getting a little better each day. But he's still unable to lay down so he sleep's in the recliner. He was getting constipated from the medications he was taking so he took some ex lax and after that he had the runs (I hope he doesn't get mad that I'm telling all this) Then his feet were still swollen and he had been really bloated and gassy. His stomach looked really swollen or bloated I was gong to take a picture but he didn't like that idea so much. So on Monday morning he went to the doctor for a check up. We didn't think it would be a good idea to try and take the boys so Brandon drove him self there. Well at about 9:00 he called and said that the bloating that he was having wasn't normal so the doc sent him to the hospital for some ex-rays. But the doctor gave him a prescription so he wanted me to go pick it up so that he would have it when he got home. So I decided to go get his prescription and run a few errands I dropped the boys off at nikki's so that i could be a little bit faster. I had just picked up his prescription when I got a phone call from the hospital they told me that Brandon had gotten his ex-rays done but they were sending him to the ER and he wanted me to go there. That's all the dude said so the whole way there i was like what is going on. I finally got there and Brandon was in the room crying. So i was like "what's gong on?" And he knew as much as I did. He got the ex-rays done and then they sent him to the ER. So we just had to wait for the doctor to come and talk to us. ( I love how they take there sweet little time) So the doc finally came in and told us that He had a bunch of blood around his lung and that they were going to have to put a tube in his chest and drain it out. So then we had to wait for like another hour and a half for the doctor to show up. (He was at the dentist) So he finally showed up and told us that on top of having a bunch of blood around his lung he also has cerosis. It effects your liver and is caused from drinking to much. In a way that was a really good thing for Brandon to hear. He now knows that his drinking has to stop. If he stops drinking his liver can repair its self. It won't be as healthy as it should but it will be in better shape then its in now. So were all just hoping and praying that he can do what ever it takes to stop drinking. Ok so back to the blood that's around his lung. The doctor explained that he was going to cut a hole in brandons side and stick a chest tube in there and it was going to suck out the blood. They let me stay in there and watch I was on the other side so I didn't see them cut the hole but I saw the most blood that I have ever seen. when they cut him open the blood just started pouring onto the floor then they got the tube in and it started filling up these containers. He lost 4 1/2 pints of blood ( I can't remember if it was pint's or quart's but it was ALOT of blood the most that the doctor has ever taken out of anyone) After they got the blood out they did another ex-ray and saw that his lung collapsed. His lung was squished from all the blood. So that brings us to where were at today. He's been given more blood and his lung has inflated a little bit, he still has the chest tube in since he's still draining out some blood. Hopefully they take the chest tube out tomorrow. And his lung if it doesn't get better on its own they have to do surgery and put something down his throat and blow his lung open. Hopefully they don't have to do that but i guess will do what ever we have to so he can come home. Me and the boys are really missing him and we want him to hurry and come home. I hope something good comes out of all of this. They say what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger. I have to thank everyone for helping us get through this. We have the BEST family and friends in the world. I really don't know what we would do with out you all. I don't want to end on a sad note so I have to tell a story about Jaxon I think he's going to be a chef when he's older. He gets the pots and pans out and puts them on the stove and then gets a spoon and pretends like he is stirring something. today I heard him getting into the pots and pans. But i was watching my show so I was like oh big deal he can play with them for a little bit. So when my show was over i went to check on him and he was still in there "cooking" Then i looked in the pot and he had put some cookies and a half of a pop tart in there. So I had to get a picture of him and what ever it was that he was trying to make. Oh my I had no idea it was 2:22 a.m. I better wrap this up. I'll keep you all updated on Brandon and here's some pictures of Christmas, and chef Jaxon.
