Hospital Stay #2 in 2012

On September 11, almost 1 1/2 weeks after Alyssa had been sick with stomach issues, they admitted her to the hospital in Temple.  We thought it was her c-diff again and they prepared us for a lot of procedures and possibilities.  Although we were much more prepared than we were for her hospital stay in April, it was still a scary process.
 

We had a few rough days but things began to turn around.  The doctors also determined it was Salmonella this time rather than C-diff... PHEW! We decided it was looking bad when the head of Pedi GI comes in and says, "It's ONLY Salmonella!"
 




On day 3, Alyssa got her IV disconnected...this was great news!
 

Feeling better!
 


She was feeling much better her last day!  So much, she had lots of fun playing with the latex gloves!
 




 
We were so happy to get home the evening of the 14th!  We had missed Andrew terribly although he had been in the great care of our good friend, Debbie Miner, for a few days before David was able to get home with him the last night Alyssa was in the hospital.  It was sooooo good to have us all together again!

Andrew's First Day of Kindergarten

 
Oh how I was not ready for this day!!! Our baby boy started kindergarten on August 29th at Woodway Elementary School.  We had to take the obligatory before school pictures...
 
His new backpack with his name on it
 
 
What first day of school would be complete without a "tatt"
 
 
Me and My Love Muffin!

 

Such a big boy!
 



Daddy and his boy!

Mrs. Keen and Andrew.  Mrs. Keen was also the mother of a boy on our soccer team last fall, so it was good to see a familiar face!
 


Hawaiian Falls and "Baby Night-Night"

The weekend after we returned home, we went to Hawaiian Falls and took Andrew's friend, Luke, with us.  It began storming shortly after so we headed home for milkshakes and movie time!
 

Alyssa put on her jammies and decided it was night-night time for her Baby.  She sang her "Jesus Loves Me" and hugged and kissed on her... soooooooooo precious!


Heading Home...

All good things must come to an end :(
 
 
 
Definitely the way to travel!

Grand Cayman - Day 5

Our last full day in Grand Cayman.... Alyssa decided to try on her snorkel and googles... :)
 

Here we had a light dinner with one of my agents, Phillip Richardson, and his family.  Their oldest daughter, Jordan, took to Alyssa and Alyssa took to her :)

 
That night we had a wonderful and delicious family dinner.  This was again the best pic we could get!
