Parker feeling better

Parker is doing better now. His oxygen is finally back to normal levels and his heart rate back to the 115's instead of 180's. I took him to the Doctors yesterday and Tim took him today but I got the real scoop. They think he has RSV. They don't really want to bother testing him because they would treat him the same no matter what. They think he may have gotten a Secondary infection which caused the high temperatures and really bad cough. So he is on antibiotics to help get rid of bacteria if he has it or prevent him from getting it. We can now Nebulize him a lot less. So things are looking better!!! It's sad watching your kids so sick. I can't imgine doing it with a terminal or really sick kid...I admire everyone who can and does!!

Sick Baby

So our Little baby Parker has had a slight cold for about 3 weeks. Well this last weekend it took a turn for the worse. He started with a bad cough really deep and congested and he looked like he was in pain when he coughed. Then he started with a fever sunday. We were having to be up with him in the nights. Monday morning we woke up and I took his temperature it was 102.1 and he wouldn't wake up for anything really lethargic. We made an appointment with our NP Lisa and she said he had pnemonia. His oxygen was down to 88 when it should have been up to 94. They gave him a shot to open his airway and nebulized him ( i guess that's what you call it) she sent us home with a machine to give him treatments and amoxicillan. While all of this was happening me and Tim were at work. I was so worried about him and was feeling guilty for being at work while he was home so sick. My mom and dad took him to the doctor for us. My mom said that he was so close to be hosptialized and we need to sleep with him sitting up. So that means we have to hold him all night....so needless to say I don't have to feel guilty because I stayed up with him last night and held him up and gave him treatments while Tim slept to go to work today and he will take care of him tonight while I go to work tomorrow. Poor little guy he is so sick and I feel so bad. None of my kids have ever been this sick.

Surgery Canceled

Thanks for all your kind words about my father. The Doctors have canceled his surgery for now. They want to wait for the genetic testing to come back and then they will decide if they are taking out the entire stomach or part of the stomach....We all think he wasn't thinking when he scheduled it for 3 days before Christmas and didn't want to worry about him and have to be in the hospital with him. We are grateful for the doctors concern and that they are making sure they make the right decision for my father's health!

Princess Cake

I made this cake for a neighbor girl. It's a princess barbie cake. Her mom said she liked it.

December so far

We have had two more birthday's in the family my brother and Niece Morgan. We had Cake and Ice Cream and my brothers the day of his birthday and then the sunday after my nieces birthday we had dinner and cake at there house with family. I made the birthday cake...still no camera so they have the pictures but I will post it when I get them.....what a cake to make. IT was a castle cake.....It looked really good until I went to transport it to there house and 4 of the pillars fell over taking some of the decoration with it...but I fixed it good enough that hopefully in the picture you can't tell.... We have been busy doing christmas stuff and all that.

We found out last week that my father...who has been suffering the last year and half with stomach problems is going to have his stomach removed on the 22nd of this month. It's to high risk for him to keep his stomach because of the big tumors in it has a 60% chance of turning to cancer so they are going to remove it and all the lymp nodes around it to be safe. It is a scarey surgery so anyones prayers will be appreciated.....he is the worlds best father and I hope it makes him feel better I feel so bad watching him suffer in pain and sickness...he has gone through a lot with his health over the years and I just want him to feel better. They did decide to do the surgery around christmas because the sooner the better for my dad to feel better and hopefully easier to get babysitters. I still have a cousin in high school that will have time off and she will watch my kids for two days and my sister is taking two days of work to watch them and tim has two use or lose days at work to use...so we have it covered and working 4 tens at work we have two 4 day weekends so its a good time for that reason but I will be sad not having my father home for christmas. If everything goes well he will still be in the hospital for 7-10 days!

November 2008

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would sum up November. I don't have all the pictures from november. We still don't have a camera so my mom has some of my cakes on her camera and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was a fun day this year. We went to my uncles house and all his kids that still live around here came. Only one was missing and my brother and his family were also missing. We had tons of food and we played games until into the evening. It was fun and it's always nice to play with games and hang out with my cousins!! It's nice to have them so close and be people that I can actually call my friends!! Well I decided that I would try black friday out to get some deals on things we are needing. So me and Jenn my neighbor and friend decided to venture out. I dragged my cousin Liz along also. We started at Walmart....what a zoo...crazy people let me tell ya. Things were gone in less than a minute. luckly it wasn't what we came there for. We headed to Kohl's, then Shopko and then Smith's market place. IT was fun to hang out with them and go shopping. I was tired though and boy did my feet hurt. We ended the morning with Breakfast at dee's. We had such a busy november I hope that I remember everything we did. Below are some pictures but some of them didn't happen in november I just found the pictures.



This i Colby being silly with his Big Boy underwear. We thought if we bought him Buzz lightyear and other Disney big boy underwear it would entice him to go potty on the toilet....well needless to say that and many other attempts haven't worked...but they do look good on his head....you can tell it was more summer time for this picture because my dad is wearing shorts in the background.....and my dad get's cold easily so it was summer with this one...sorry it's sideways!


This is the Diego Cake I made my niece for her birthday Her and Colby love Diego and Dora. She had a Diego Party Colby had to miss so I didn't get to see her reaction to the cake but My brother seemed pretty impressed

The next two cakes are a cake I made in September for my grandma. I tried a new icing and stuff so it doesn't look very good but it tasted good. She went through the temple and took her endowments out. It was an awesome experience and I was glad I was there to see it happen. I can't wait to see her sealed to my grandpa and their kids. We miss him a lot and it will be great to know that they can live forever as a family! A life long dream is coming true!!

Ok so I thought I would show you my very first cake ever that I made....This is a barbie cake I made for an old Co-worker's daughter...man I had to have been about 6 or 7 years ago. It actually has been my best barbie cake ever.....I think I made a total mess of one I made for my cousin a couple years ago...I think I owe her a new one! For free

In november while shopping at walmart they were doing free pictures with santa. Colby was excited to share with santa what he wanted for christmas. It's changed from GEO Trax (Thanks to commercials he knows what this is) to Thomas the Choo choo train that comes out of a water fall. I guess we will have to see if he is a good boy or not and if santa brings it to him!! Parker kept staring at santa like what the freak is that!

Now to the reason we missed Madison's birthday party for the kids....Disney On Ice.....Colby was completely mesmorized for the first half.....We coudln't get him to look away. It was so cute. He Loved seeing buzz lightyear on ice(the reason we went) He enjoyed his buzz toys he got ....He really likes the buzz lightyear arm his aunt bought him.....it makes lots of noise...the rest of us say THANKS Aunt weene weene!

This is a cake I made for Jenn's Birthday It was chocolate cake that I crushed grasshopper cookies into the batter and baked then I put chocolate whipped cream on the top with a slight bit of mint flavoring...I put fresh raspberries and then I covered mint leaves with chocolate to make the chocolate mint leaves! It was good. I love working with the whipped topping...this was a really easy cake to make!

Last but not least....some of the ladies in our circle went to lunch to celebrate birthdays...Three of the ladies have birthdays in oct and nov. WE actually went on Kathy's birthday...we call her Kafy at our house because that is what Colby calls her ....he loves Kafy and derick......Jenn's was earlier that week and Julianna's was in october. Mine and Trina well we are summer babies....so it was our turn to buy! I was so fun. We went to Ruth's diner up emigration canyon..I was I think the only one who hadn't been there. It was good...they have the fries with the crunchy top...like Galaxy Diner (if anyone lived here long enough to remember that place) loved it!!!

Well that's about it for november! I think.
