Yes, I said BREAKING... The year has started off great. Wade and I sat down and wrote out some of our goals and things we want to achieve this year. (Most of them are things that we know we will not give up on)... some of mine have been...
- getting up every morning with Wade (yes at 5am) to make him lunch and then not going back to bed until I have to get KJ up and ready for school. (yeah so I have gone back to bed a few times)
- blogging... since we don't live so close to family any more I find it so important that everyone keeps up on what is happening with us.
- taking more pictures
- getting my jewelry business going in WA.
so that is just a few...
We have been having alot of fun getting to know the new place we call home. The Tri-cities is beautiful and Mylee, Tay and I have alot of fun going for drives (while waiting for KJ to get out of school) looking for area's that we would like to find a house in. So when I say breaking....I mean we are 11 days into the new year we've all gotten over colds dodge the flu bug (knock on wood). We just get done eating dinner and Taylee was still standing on the dinning room chair playing her leap pad, making her sisters laugh when she starts dancing around she slips off the chair. Wade rolls her over slowly, he was hoping she just hyper extended her arm but we wanted to make sure. By the way she was crying I had a feeling it was broke there is just such a different cry when they are in serious pain. So I am running around the house trying to get socks and shoes so we can go to immediate care. In the mean time the older two go from laughing to bawling. We get to immediate care and sure enough after an hour and some x-rays its broken. The doctor was super nice and decided to wait until the next day to send us to and Ortho. He didn't mention where the break was or anything. So they wrapped her arm and sent us home. Thursday morning we go back in to immediate care and they tell us we have an appointment with Dr. Hsieh at Northwest Orthopedic in Richland at 5 that evening. So Tay was amazing all day. She never complained unless we bumped her arm. So we met with Dr. Hsieh at first they only allowed one of us in the casting room, so I go in with Tay and Wade stays out in the waiting room with the older two. Dr. Hsieh looked at the x-ray and started telling me that Tayee broke her elbow and that it could heal on its own but it would be better if we had surgery (which I had a feeling the night before when the doctor didn't explain anything to us) my heart sunk, I felt my eyes swell up with tears and I started to sweat. I asked the doctor if he could put us in a private room and bring Wade back. So he did and we all decided that putting pins in Tay's arm was the best solution. So in for Surgery we went Friday the 13th. Everything went really well, it was one of the hardest days I have had to face yet. She came out of the anesthesia and freaked out so I got to go back to recovery and help calm her and then we were taken to the Pediatric floor at Kadlec Regional. Through all of this Wade was the strong one, he is the one that held it together better than me. Which I am so thankful last time we had a girl in the hospital I was the one staying strong. I am so grateful for Wade and all he does for the girls and I he truly is my rock and is making me a better person. Moving away from home has helped us become stronger and pulled us closer together. I love him (and my girls) more than anything.
Waiting for them to wrap it after the X-ray Wednesday night.
Waiting to see Dr. Hsieh
in Dr. Hsieh casting room waiting for what we thought was going to be a cast.
Watching Tangled before we go into surgery.
TWO Pins placed in her Elbow. The break was alot worse that Dr. Hsieh originally thought.
Just coming out of recovery.
Waking up she wanted her Mickey Mouse.
We got a surprise visit that afternoon from 3 of the Seattle Mariner players. Dave Valle, Blake Beavan and Tom Wilhelmsen. Taylee could have cared less but I am 99% sure it brightened Wade's day!
This brought tears to my eyes. They have some high school girls that volunteer at the hospital and when one of them heard that Taylee loved Mickey mouse she went and got beads and made her this necklace. Seriously how precious is that and how big of a heart does that girl have to not have even met Taylee to go out of her way to do this.
This was Friday Night when we got home. She was finally wide awake and hungry.
Saturday morning bright and early this girl was hungry and ready to go. The cast has not slowed her down one bit. In fact, Wade and I both feel like she thinks she is now super woman. She has been jumping off things (yes I freak out) and wrestling with her sisters, and doing all the things she shouldn't be doing but how do you stop them from being little? You don't! They already grow up to fast. Just love them for one day they won't be little anymore!
