48 hours

It has been a long 48 hours. It started Sunday night. Clay went to bed with a cough and didn't fall asleep until 1am coughing. Then he woke up at 5:30 am and I gave him more cough and cold medicine. When it was time for school he was sounding worse so I let him stay home. At 12:30 pm Randy woke up for the day and I was on my way out to take Tyler to school and then go to work. I told Randy that Clay was worse, and that he now was weasing and if he wanted he could call and make an appointment with the pediatrician.(when were I think they need to go Randy doesn't so I left it up to him). He called me right before I got off work and had made an appointment for 3:45. So I came home Had lunch and then took him in. When we got there they noticed how much work it was taking him to breath. They hooked him up to a monitor that find out how much oxygen was in his system. He was at 83% which is very low. They said that he was having an asthma attack and need to have a steroid shot and a breathing treatment. So they got him started on that.

Then Dr. Knochel said he need to go to the hospital right away. So I was like I can leave now and be there in 20-30 minutes. He was no he needs to transported by ambulance. Clay need to be on oxygen and that he couldn't be on oxygen if I took him. When I called Randy this he wasn't to happy that he needed to go by ambulance, because it was going to be expensive. I agreed but said in Clays best interest it would be to go in the ambulance. So the EM T's pick us up and took us to Utah Valley Hospital.

The nice thing about going to the doctor first we were able to by pass the ER. They took Clay straight up to the pediatrician unit. We were there for about 2 hours before I found out that he was going to have to stay over night. They like one parent to stay over night too. Since Randy had to work it was I who got to stay. Randy had drooped Tyler off at his Mom and Dad's before he went to work and made Tyler king for the night. Bought him his own cheese pizza and made his fell special. Later my Mom and Dad and Randy's Mom and Dad came, because I wanted Clay to have a blessing. While waiting for them to show up a volunteer came to the room and asked clay if he wanted to play a game. She brought in a Nintendo 64 and played baseball with him for a while, then grandpa Archuleta took over.

When Tyler showed up then he took over. Its nice that they have different things to help children fell more comfortable durning there stay. Clay loved his dinner, he had chicken breast with Alfredo noddles zucchini fruit roll and 2 cookies. It was funny because before he got dinner he was asking the nurse he they had grapes and they didn't have any he was really bummed. But when his dinner came it had one grape with it, he thought that was funny. When everyone left they took him down for a chest x-ray it was clear. (when we first took him to the doctor I thought he might be getting a nasty cold or bronchitis). The breathing treatments they had his on made him a little hipper so he didn't go to sleep until after 2:30 am. And because I didn't have the things I need and between the alarms going off about every hour I only got about two hours of sleep. This morning with Dr. Paxton came in Clay was doing so much better that they released him. I hope that we never have to go through this again for his sake and for mine. It has been along couple of days. I will be glad when this one is over and I can sleep.

Swimsuits

I found my swimsuits. Thanks to all of you who gave me suggestions. It took me along time on the Internet before I found the ones that I liked. I choose two, one because it was on sale and the other because I wanted one like it.



I choose this one because it was on sale for 9.98 and I really like the color and style. I just hope that I will like the way it will look on me. I found it at http://www.swimsuitsforall.com They had a lot of cute swimsuits.

The other one I choose I found at https://ohanaswimwear.com I like this one for the coverage. I like the shorts so I don't fell as naked on bottom. I like the top because it looks more like a take top and it's so revealing.




They are two different swimsuits but I hope they will both fit and I will like how they will fit on my.

Clays eye

This is what Clays eye looks like today.

Battle wounds

Clay got his very first battle wound playing football. Well actually they were just warming up. He was playing running back and his best Buddie Brody was QB and they bonked heads. Brody forehead smashed into Clays right cheek right under the eye. had a little gash had to take him to the doctors after hours. It was nice that the doctor is in after hours so I didn't have to go to the insta-care. The doctor told Clay he could either have a couple of sitches or he could glue it closed. Clay opted for the glue. ( he is the biggest whimp when it comes to needles) The glue will hold for a week, long enough for it to close and then it will just fall off. The doctor said he probably won't have a scare but that area could be red for up to a year. But all Thur this Clay only cried after it had happened and was brave the rest of the time. He will have a swollen and a black eye for a few days but it will only make him look more tough. I took pictures with my camera phone but couldn't bring them up so as soon as I figure out how to but them up I will add them.

Scentsy Party

So I had my scentsy party tonight and had a few friends and family come. I have never own anything with scentsy, but love that it is wickless and is safe to have around kids. The wax won't burn if you touch it, and I touched it and it doesn't. She said that if it spilled on the carpet it would come all the way out, because that has happened to her. I can't wait to get so and try it out. And if anyone wants to order you still can. Call me and I well give you an order form or you can check out the web site just click on the link. http://www.scentsy.com/3688 If you order on line just let her know your ordering on my party.

Cupcakes

This is my very first attempt at using cake decorating tips. Bought them early this year so Randy could fill my birthday cupcakes with filling. But I have never used them, and have wanted to for a while. So this is my first attempt. Tomorrow we have FHE with my family and I have to bring the dessert. I wanted to do something with Halloween. I came across this owl cupcake, so I thought this is what I have to do. I really wanted to try something new. This is what it is supposed to look like.




And this is what mine looks like.



It kind of looks like the picture. For my very first attempt, I think I did a great job. With more experience I will just get better. I couldn't get the frosting a brighter orange or a darker brown. When I went to buy the doughnuts at the store they didn't have any chocolate covered with just brown sprinkles. I bought glazed instead and would frost my own. For the owls nose it was supposed to be a huge glob of orange frosting shaped like a nose, I didn't want that much frosting so I bought a twist doughnut and cut it in half and then frosted it. Now we while have to wait until tomorrow and see if it taste any good.

Flag Football

Clay has been playing flag football for a couple of weeks now, and he is getting very good. Randy called him a defensive monster. He is pulling flags and best of all he has intercepted the football once every game. He has such a natural talent for playing sports, I think everyone he has tried he excels at. It is so much fun to watch him play and get better everyday. Thought I do hate sitting in the cold. He even played QB and he said he was scared. To many things to worry about, catch the ball pass or throw it. make sure no one pulls your flag, he didn't like it much. He really like being the kicker. He kicked it pretty far. His team has one everyone of their games. It will be fun to see how much better he will get by the end of the season. Clay is #6.
