Thanks again for the wrap, Meg!<br />

Anyway, looking through pics, and thinking back... our Feb. wasn't exciting like that. Like I said, just lots of figuring out our new schedule and routine :o)Devinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00831217959742213562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449102235313938332.post-35761625085843829792017-03-12T20:25:00.000-07:002017-03-12T20:25:01.517-07:00Jan. was a blur<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Jan. everything happened so fast... I think I'm just going to update person by person</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Jared's been busy at work. He's still lovin' Domo. Biggest change for Jared is... he was released as scout master for our ward. He was called as Young Men's President. This means for our ward, he is over all the boys 12-18 yrs old! I think he said like 20-30 of them. The calling was extended in Jan., but did not become public/start until Feb.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
With Jared's calling change, that means more on me at home. Which I won't lie... has been so incredibly difficult! ... Which you might understand more in a bit... Anyway, it has, it's been hard having Jared gone more. BUT at the same time, I have been so dang blessed! I don't really know how to describe it. I seem to handle the kids better, overall, during the day... more at peace. Comforted. I don't know if that makes sense, but yeah. So, nothing's really changed with me ... other than I don't get Jared snuggles as much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Both the kids started karate!!! For Ayden, it's been a really great thing! His bio. brother goes to the same studio, so they do karate together ... I'd say on average once a week so far. It's great! And I think it has helped Ayden a bit. Bree, not so much. She goes, and does well... but she's not into it like Ayden is. </div>

Ayden got reading glasses!! He and Jared went to their annual check up, and it turns out Ayden is far sighted. It's not too bad yet, his prescriptions like nothing apparently, but yeah! He looks so grown up in them!! Other than that, Ayden's progressing well in school. *side note!: I can't believe it's time to register him for kindergarten!* He still has a long ways to go with his behaviors, but he's definitely learning how to control them more. He is reading well too. He's a smart kid who loves to learn... assuming you can channel that energy right ;o)</div>

Little Miss Breeann is doing well. She's right on track, and loves school, too! She gets discouraged and tries to keep up with Ayden. But I think it's good for her. She needs that extra motivation. Her health is doing great too! Since her set back in November, she's really bounced back and some! She has an appointment with her specialist on Thurs. I'm hoping we can cut back her IV some more again. (*reminder- before she got sick, she was at 10 hours, in november we had to go up to 18 hours... we are now at 15*). She's had really great weight gain! So I think as long as her blood work tomorrow looks good, her dr will cut her back. Oh! As far as the dilation we found in Nov. ... her Omaha team doesn't think it's bad/operable so that's that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now, you guys ready for the <b><u><i>REALLY</i></u></b> exciting part of our Jan.? ... We got another foster care placement! About 4 days after getting back from Texas, we got the call. Sisters! "Elsa" who is now 17 months! And "Anna" who is now 3 months.(*i know, not really original nicknames BUT! I wanted sister names :oP ) They have been such a joy to have. They're good, cute girls. It's a lot having 4 kids, 5 yrs and younger... but we're managing. I am having to learn to overcome my OCD. More often than not now, I go to bed with dishes in the sink, laundry not all caught up, and ... I can't even tell you how bad my toy room is. But I've learned, and starting/trying to accept... that, that's okay. As long as there's still clean dishes, clean clothes, and bills paid... I don't have to be all caught up. I have good and bad days but yeah... Anyway, more about the girls. Um... it's not looking like we'll have them all that long. Their grandma is working towards getting custody. I think that's about it to tell on them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I think that about covers our Jan.! Hope yours wasn't so much of a whirlwind!</div>

I can't remember what we put up there, but we did something to surprise Ayden (Bree was still admitted in the hospital). He was totally excited all morning and couldn't wait to tell his sister all about it.<br />

This was the day Bree got to come home (remember how she lost a total of 4 pounds in Nov.? If not feel free to go back and read that post. I'm too lazy to link it :oP ) At this point she had gained back about 2 pounds I believe. </div>

The day after Christmas, we left for a week in Texas!! We did a Glen and Kris Payne family reunion!! It was such a blast!! With how big the family is, we don't all get together often. We were still missing Teancum, the baby of the family. He's on his mission!! Anyway, while we were there Jared and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary!! We went to Medieval Times. It's a dinner show and so incredibly fun!!</div>

Jared is all I could ask for a more. He does everything he can to spoil not only me, but the kids too. He works so hard at work, and then comes home to work hard at being an amazing husband and dad. He's always willing to help me with whatever, takes the kids off my hands as much as he can, and does so much. He is so amazing with the scouts in our ward. They all just love him too. He makes the program so much fun and makes it so the boys will want to come. We have definitely had our ups and downs these last 10 years, but there is definitely no one else I'd rather be riding this roller coaster with. He keeps me in check and makes me want to be a better person. He's without a doubt my best friend and confidant. I could say more but we'll leave it there. Happy anniversary (again), mi amor!!!</div>

Yep! Little miss had gotten herself admitted again that same weekend Jared was gone. Thankfully Jareds bro and his family were in town. They helped sssooo incredibly much around the house and with Ayden!! Feel bad I didn't get to just enjoy them more. But they were amazing about the whole thing. Thank you so much again for everything Itzel and Jacob!!! Oh and this is where I started suspecting that Breeann's intestines were dilated again. But more on that in a bit :oP</div>

On the 18th, we did a x ray study on Breeann ... one to see if I was right, we were dealing with dilated bowel again. The second reason is because she hadn't had a one in like a year and a half, and she had had her surgery last Nov. in Omaha, NE. Anyway~ this is what the x-ray study looked like (camera shot while they were doing it :oP )</div>

Here's a internet pic of more of what it should have looked like. Granted Bree's wouldn't look like this even not dilated but hopefully gives you a good idea of how messed her insides are </div>

When her dr called me with results, he said that her intestines are showing dilated, narrow, dilate, narrow type thing. SSOo... let's start with this... what does it mean for her intestines to be dilated? It means she is unable to move and absorb her food like she was before. Let's be honest, she's never had great motility or absorption but this makes it even worse. We are in the process of trying to talk to Breeann's team in Omaha NE. See if/what they can do. Please let us know if you have any questions, want clarification. We're a open book :o) We'd ask for prayers please!! Have a feeling hard decisions are coming our way again.<br />

Anyway, we had a little bit of snow and of course Ayden had to eat it.<br />

I had, had enough and took her to the ER. There they found she was in acidosis. She was pooping out so much that her body pH couldn't keep up... I hadn't notice a increase in poop really but yeah. I kind of think she was starving to death. Anyway~ because of this she admitted to Primary Children's. She was there for a week while they readjusted her IV fluids and figured out what we should do with her formula.<br />
<br />
This pic was taken on Monday I believe... amazing what they can do for her!!<br />

Now she's getting pretty much all her calories from her IV :'( A HUGE, HUGE step back from where we were! Hopefully our SBS warrior princess can overcome this obstacle without any more "excitement".</div>

Anyway, that was our Nov. Not so fun but we made it because of the prayers, help, and support of our family and friends. Could not make it through without all of you!! Hope you all know how much we love you and appreciate all you do!! Thank you so incredibly much from the bottom of our hearts!!!</div>

Sept was a blur with both kids having a birthday, starting school, and we sent "baby" home to bio dad. So dang hard to let her go! But bio dad worked so hard from the beginning and is able to take great care of her, so better in the long run for her. He has texted a handful of times since. They seem to be doing great and she's getting so big!!! Oh and as mentioned in Ayden's birthday post, my phone got ruined with almost all my sept pictures. Soo... I think that's basically what happened in Sept. :oP</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We started out Oct. with a hospitalization. As you see, she didn't mind. lol</div>

For a few months there, Jared served as scout master AND assistant cub scout master. We were able to join the cubs in their pine wood derby. Of course the kids wanted dad to paint their faces like he did the scout who ranked. And my apologizes ... these are side ways and I can't figure out how to change them.</div>

Jared had a court of honor with his scouts. Ayden wanted to help do the flag ceremony. The kiddo Ayden's "helping" is one of their baby-sitters. He's great. And yes, Ayden is wearing one of his dad's scout shirts lol<br />

I still cannot believe that Ayden is now 5 years old. Seriously seems like just yesterday we got called about him. He is seriously so fun. SSSOoo imaginative, energetic, and in general just LOVES life. Everything is so exciting and fun for him. And I'll have to say, so far, 5 has been my favorite stage. He has grown so much... well, developed so much! lol He's still so tiny. He probably about 33 pound and 3'2". So as far as his schooling, getting him into early intervention has done wonders for him. He still has behavioral problems, but he has come a long way. He's also doing great in developing his fine motor skills. Still won't use a eating utensil and has a hard time with a writing utensil. But he's more willing to work on it now and will do it properly about 75% of the time I'd say. This kid has the biggest heart when it comes to people too. We HAVE to wake him up to say good night if we're not home when he goes to bed, he gets concerned about Bree when she's sick, and apparently will even ask about his teacher(s) if they are not there. Randomly, and when he knows I'm upset, he'll tell me he loves me. This kid is just constantly making me smile and laugh too. He has a great sense of humor, I think. Interestingly enough, I think, he has also taught me patience in a different way. When he's having a hard ADHD and/or sensory day it's all I can do to not sell him to the circus! Getting up from meals a million times!! Can we say major fits, kicking the door hard!! But I take a deep breath, throw in some chocolate for me, and I can normally figure out what the root of the problem is and help him fix it.<br />
<br />
Oh! As far as his actual birthday celebration! He begged for a friend party. So we invited family and about 4 or 5 friends and went to a park. He asked his dad for a Star Wars cake. Unfortunately my phone had a mishap on the way to his party so I don't think we have any pictures from the party or his cake :'(<br />
<br />
And I think that about sums my Ayden.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This little girl celebrated her 4th birthday back in Sept. (Yes, I'm way behind, trying to catch up :oP ) ... She seemed to have a good day of playing, school (Where they spoiled her), and a little family party. Things are normally low key for parties here lol</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway~ Bree has turned into a fun, imaginative little girl. Don't get me wrong, she is still FULL of sass and attitude, but unless she's tired or sick she's learned how to control it a bit. She is girly girl all the way! She LOVES painting her nails (on her own BTW), jewelry, playing that she's a mom, and babies. She can seriously hold a baby for hours and be okay with that. She spots a baby and you can almost guarantee she's going to ask the mom if she can hold it. She has learned lots at preschool! This is what her teacher said in her last progress report of Breeann:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Bree is doing great! Literacy: we are still working on her letter and sounds, but she's working hard and she's great with stories and comprehension:)! She's doing great memorizing sight words and is currently working on rhyming words. Math: Bree Is excelling in math and just learned basic addition :) she will be moving to kindergarten math tasks soon :). Bree loves games her favorite lately has been estimation games, she loves it when she wins :)! Social skills: Breeann is very social and loves playing with her friends especially if she can run with them :) she likes climbing on the jungle gym and she enjoys team work games. She has a variety of friends in her classes and is so happy to play with all of them :)</i></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bree has taught me sssooo incredibly much, and continues to teach me all the time. I have had to learn patience like no other girl with this little girl. And on more than one level I'd say. She can be the biggest sweetheart. Her love language is touch and words of affirmation. She could spend hours snuggling her dad (occasionally me), rubbing my arm, and rubbing her dad's ear. She said my ears aren't fun to rub because of my earrings. LOL!! You pay her a compliment and you have made her whole day. She looks up to her brother and tries to do everything he does (even if she's not quite ready or really like it).</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">As far as medically, ... I'll give an update later, but on her birthday she was doing amazing! Her doctor figured she was about 50/50 getting her calories from her IV and her formula/oral food. She had reached 37 pounds and like 3' 1" i think (i'm bad at remembering their height :oP ). She's a total rock star and champ when it comes to her health.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>

We went to the Pleasant Grove Strawberry Day's rodeo!! We went with my nephew and Ayden's bio mom, her boyfriend, aunt, cousin, and my nephew. Ayden participated in "Cash Cow!" "Cash Cow" is where they tap dollar bills on baby calves, kids (i think 10 yrs and younger) can go in the arena and chase the cow to get the money.<br />

Ayden did awesome! He did not catch a cow, but there was a really nice kid that gave Ayden the dollar he had gotten. A staff member gave Ayden candy too.<br />

Bare with me as I am a story teller... or like to pretend, try to be :oP And I'll warn you now, I remember weird details. If you haven't caught that already. I'll throw in pics. to help break things up. Also, I definitely not looking for sympathy or anything... just informing of what can happen wtih our sweet princess Breeann.<br />
<br />
On May 10th, Breeann woke up (about 7:30 am) just fine. We did our normal routine, for being a school day. About 8, she just started throwing attitude and made herself throw up (or at least I think :oP and yes, our daughter can make herself throw up). Jared asked if we should keep her home from school, but by that time I had just had it and needed space from her. Sent them out the door, and not even 5 mins. later Jared calls me to say Bree threw up again in the back of his car, he's bringing her back. I can't explain it really, but because of that whole car situation, I knew we weren't dealing with just attitude. Which, amazingly, I was able to go from furiously mad to compassionate and nuturing by the time they made it back. Anyway~ all she wanted to do was "soak" (in quotations because let's be honest, girl can't really have a good soak in the tub, poor thing!) and watch t.v. shows in her bed. By 10:30 she had thrown up a total of 4 times and spiked a 101 fever. Now you guys get a better idea how fast this chick can turn on ya?!? Anyway, so by this point I made arrangements for Jared to get Ayden off the bus and my in-laws to take "baby". Yes, thankfully Jareds parents were in town!!! and one of Jared's bros lives on the way to Primary Children's too. thanks again mom,dad, josh, and jill!!! So with those two taken care of, I got Bree to the ER by noon.<br />

They do their assessments, blood work, etc... and decided to start her on a IV antibiotic... everything was pointing towards line infection. It was actually kind of sudden, and this is why we start antibiotics at the hospital, but anyway, about 2 p.m. Bree went <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sepsis/symptoms-causes/dxc-20169787" target="_blank">septic</a> (clink on the link if you're not sure what that is). </div>

Once again, girl changes fast... and likes to give her mom heart attacks. ER staff could not get her blood pressure to come up, despite loading her with a lot of fluids (even for an adult!) so they started her on a medication (epinephrine) that can only be given in the ICU. So at 5 p.m. (Jared got to the ER just in the nick of time) we got her to the ICU. It was about 7 p.m. on the 11th when they were able to transfer her to a regular floor.<br />

On the 13th, since Breeann was acting better and her blood work was not showing an IV infection, they sent us home! Just in time to party with the Payne's like all weekend. We celebrated Mom and Dad's 40th wedding anniversary, Bree's bio aunt's baby shower,<br />

and our niece getting blessed!! Mon., the 16th, we have Mom and Dad over for dinner, then jared and I snuck in a little date. When we get back, Mom tells us Bree gave attitude and threw up a tiny bit when putting her to bed. We chalk it up to she was overly tired, not wanting to go to bed. 9 p.m. that night, I got get her up to go to the bathroom, start a feeding and Bree has a 101 fever (102 by the time we got to the hospital) and throws up once or twice. Yes, she was just straight admit to the hospital again. The next morning, the 17th, drs tell me that blood work they did showed bacteria in her line!!! Not that I want her to have a line infection, but by this time I was just so dang happy to have answers so we can get our princess back!!! She was discharged the 20th. So yeah, basically 2 weeks at that hospital!!<br />

The kids have actually, overall, enjoyed it. They're good about leaving the snake alone, but love trying to find them... as well as other bugs. Yay for nice weather, being outside... this momma could do without so many snakes and bugs, but that's okay. I don't mind a few, but yeah...</div>

As you can see, she LOVES school. In fact, it's not uncommon for me to have to carry her out because she doesn't want to go. Ayden LOVES, LOVES, LOVES school too. He ask almost every day if it's a school day. He's been doing great at the early intervention program we got him into as well. We've already seen improvement with his fine motor skills. Behaviors, we're still working on :o)</div>

It's taken so incredibly much patience... and they don't do well at all. BUT it's a start, they actually love helping out, and it does help me a little.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now, some of you may be wondering about "Baby". What I write about her is my attempt at answering the most common questions we get, that we can answer. Yes, we still have her. She's getting big and more of a personality. She does not seem to have any medical, or behavioral, problems at this point. She's by far so much easier then Ayden and Breeann were/are. The plan is still for her to go back to her bios... us adopting her is not being talked about by the team (meaning "Baby"'s lawyer, bios, their lawyers, caseworkers, etc). She has been a wonderful addition to the family, even if it is only temporary. Adjusting to 3 kids is a lot easier then I thought it would be. Maybe because "Baby"'s a easy baby? She typically will eat about 10 pm and go until 6 am without waking up. So I am getting sleep and doing okay. ... I think that about covers everything lol</div>

So, with all the craziness of the month, both kids have been struggling. We've been trying to do quality time stuff with them... easier said then done, but we're trying. Jared decided Ayden needed to make dinner one night. Ayden did great! I was proud</div>

So ... about our foster baby. On the 12th, as I was discharging Bree from the hospital, our foster care caseworker sends me a text asking if we were ready for placements (I had mentioned to her in like Oct. that we might be in Jan.) ... I told her unless it was urgent, I'd talk to Jared that night and get back to her. Her response was something to the effect of nothing too urgent yet, but they did have a drug exposed infant possibly coming into care that they really wanted us to consider. Jared and I talked that night, decided we would open our file, but wanted to know more before we accept the case she mentioned. When I texted her that Wed., the 13th, morning she said she'd have them call me if the baby came into care. No joke, 15 mins. later, I got a call with a little more info., asking what we thought. Called Jared, we decided to take it. This was about 10:30 am. When I called back, saying we'd accept, they said that court was at 4 p.m., they'd know more then and call us about 5. At 2 p.m., I get a call from another caseworker saying "baby" would be ready for us to pick up in the NICU at 5 p.m. Yeah, craziness! Not to mention, Jared had scouts that night, that he couldn't miss!! Thankfully for some incredible neighbors and friends, it all worked out and we had "baby" home by 8 p.m. Wedn. night. So yes, 36 hours from getting that original "are you ready" text, we had a baby.<br />
<br />
Now let me please remind you all, I cannot talk about specifics of the case and I cannot post pics of "baby". If I don't post as many pics for a bit, you now know why. Please feel free to privately ask any questions, but be understanding if we tell you we cannot talk about it. We are excited to have "baby" (That will be the online name i decided :oP ) but definitely relearning the ropes.<br />
<br />
Love to all and hope this finds you all doing as well as we areDevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00831217959742213562noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449102235313938332.post-54414419337546069652016-01-01T20:05:00.000-08:002016-01-01T20:05:14.738-08:00December 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
December, overall, was a lot more fun!! Only thing that was missing was Jared... for the first half. He had to go back to UT for work, while the kids and I stayed in Omaha, NE. My amazing, beautiful mom came and stayed a week with us in Omaha to help with the kids.</div>

Going to need to refresh your memories on stuff before I can get into Nov...<br />
<br />
Back in June, we found out that Breeann had some dilated intestines. This dilation made it so she could not absorb or move her formula/food very easily at all. <a href="http://jndpayne.blogspot.com/2015/07/better-late-than-never.html" target="_blank">Here's where</a> I first, publicly, told about the dilation. Anyway, so then end of Aug., Bree and I made a trip out to Omaha, NE to see what her team would be able to do to help her dilation. OH MY! I just realized I never blogged about what happened out there!! Just mentioned it in another post. SO, summary of that trip was... her drs. were not able to say what they could do. They couldn't do all the testing they needed/wanted because during one of the test, they found Bree had some <a href="http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/371955-overview" target="_blank">pneumoatosis</a>... air pockets in her intestinal lining. We ended up being in NE for a week and a half because of it. It was a miserable trip! Anyway, after that trip, we didn't hear any from NE until first week of Oct. Bree's dr. here in UT emailed us saying NE agreed to do another <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1448911/" target="_blank">STEP procedure</a> on her. Here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtctNLFqYOE" target="_blank">YouTube video</a> for those of you, like me, who think that stuff cool! Breeann has had this surgery 3 times already... once before we got her. I want to say she was about a month old from what I was told (Oct. 2012). Her second one was when she was 6 months old (March 2013) and she was still in the foster care system. Her third one was right after we finalized her adoption, July 2013. Okay, I think that's enough of refresh... on to Nov. :oP<br />
<br />
Nov. was busy preparing and getting out to NE for Bree's surgery. We arrived in Omaha on Nov. 16. Gave us a day to settle in and do a day of appointments. We knew after surgery, we wouldn't be able to "play" for a bit, so we went to the Mormon Trail Center<br />

I've been working on this post for a while :P but I just can't seem to find the right words, so here ya go, with my attempt.<br />
<div>

I just have such an immense amount of gratitude for all of you, our loved ones. With Bree's health recently back on the roller coaster (more on that later too), there has been so many people that have helped us! Watching Ayden, calls/text, letting me vent/talk, a meal or two, etc. We received a few awesome packages, letters in the mail... Just a outpouring of love from everyone! It was just a huge reminder of how extremely blessed we are. I try to show that appreciation by paying it forward/back or at the very minimum sending a thank you message. But it just seems so completely inadequate for the love and service that has been rendered to us. Please know it is all sincerely appreciated and noticed.<br />
<br />
Frequently I get asked, commented to that people don't know how we do it. Honestly, our success is, first and for most, is Heavenly Father. Our prayers and fasting, as well as the prayers and fasting of you all, are definitely heard, have been answered, and felt. No question in my mind that Breeann wouldn't be here and we couldn't make it through without all our faith. Secondly, our success is also you guys, our loved one. We couldn't do it without the help you guys give by your help of lifting our burdens. So thank you a million times over, for everything!!! We love and appreciate you all so very very much... even if we aren't the greatest at expressing it.</div>
<div>
<br />
I wanted to add a couple of music videos because... music. lol Music is how I best express myself, feel closed to Heavenly Father, and stress relief. I wish there was a thank you video, but I couldn't find one that I liked :P Anyway~ this first video is how I feel about our situation.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Not easy, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Breeann is such a huge blessing to all those who know her and I consider her our "beautiful heartbreak". I know we'll make it through.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This next one... I think is more to help remind me that Breeann, and everyone for that matter, really is in Heavenly Father's hands.</div>

We have our "mountains" in life, but He is aware of all, and in charge. He may not answer our prayers how we want it to, but He will answer them according to His will/plan. </div>

He's the surgeon who took care of Breeann the whole time she was NICU, so the first 4 months of her life. He did her original bowel resection (cut out all the bad intestines, making her short bowel), he put in her feeding tub, several of her IVs, and has done a couple of what's called STEP procedures on her. I personally think we have him, as well as her specialist, to thank for our miracle still being here. </div>

The other good outcome is ... we found out one of Bree's IV sites has opened!!! As you may, or may not, remember, she was down to one site!! We were so panicked and worried about her IV access site. But in June we found out one had opened, and we just found out a second opened! So of the 4 sites, she now has 3!!!</div>

Ayden had a blast and really got birthdays this year. It made things really fun! He kept saying for a couple of months what he'd want for his birthday. He got spoiled and was happy with how it turned out.<br />
<br />
Now mushy about Ayden: I love this boy so incredibly much! He has taught me so much about having to have patience... not that I have it yet, but I'm getting there! lol Ayden just loves life, loves people, and loves! He's not very affectionate... it's like pulling teeth getting kisses from him... but he does have a real love for people, especially his family. He gets really concerned when Bree's inpatient, Dad's workin late, or Mom's having that rare night away. He's getting to have quite the imagination. He'll dress up in a super hero costume and be quite upset if we don't refer to him as captain america, or which ever one he's dressed as. He loves learning too... Constantly asking questions about how things work, what is that, and what happens with this. I just love this boy and his tender, adventurous spirit. Ayden, we love you and so so glad you are our forever boy!!!! happiest of birthdays to, my son!!Devinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00831217959742213562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449102235313938332.post-42701111306615561122015-10-22T09:32:00.000-07:002015-10-22T09:32:19.303-07:00Breeann's 3rd birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Excuse me while I go be in denial about my baby being 3! I know it shouldn't probably seem that big of a deal, BUT IT IS!!! For Breeann, a little girl who wasn't suppose to make it out of the NICU, to now be 3 is huge. She's such an angel... but we'll get to that in a bit.</div>

Now, for the mushy: Like I said, Breeann really is our angel. Granted, girl's got sass and is so dang stubborn!!! But deep down I know that's what has kept her here with us. She has got to be one of THE strongest fighters I know. She is growing into such a little lady to. She loves her hair bows. She is so smart and independent. She will just go play by herself for a while. She and I butt heads quite a bit (hey, I never said I wasn't stubborn too :oP ) BUT I love this little girl so dang much. I want to savor every min. we have with her... because, let's be honest here, who knows how much time we have left. I want to just snuggle her and kiss her all the time. I have no doubt she was sent her to teach me, and others, more then she needs to learn... if that makes sense. Breeann, we love you so much baby girl!!! So dang grateful and blessed to have you as ours!!! Happiest of birthdays angel!!!Devinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00831217959742213562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449102235313938332.post-78518491027241272072015-10-22T09:15:00.000-07:002015-10-22T09:15:27.744-07:00Sept. ... better late then never?Yeah, I'm slacker!

Breeann started preschool! She's doing great and lovin' it so far. She and Ayden go at the same time so this momma gets some down time.<br />

Bree got her first real hair cut. We've just done trims before... but this time we decided to go for a bigger change. She is no longer a baby anymore. Such a little girl now. And I couldn't be more proud of her.<br />

A bit about our Nebraska trip... We went there to see what (if anything) they could do about Bree's dilated bowel. We were not able to finish testing while we were there. While doing some testing, they found air pockets in Bree's intestinal lining. She's fine, it has since resolved... But because of it, they were unable to finish testing. That is all we know right now... We'll update if there's more.</div>

That about sums up our month, I think. I'm hoping to do a couple more post later... but for now, bedtime. :) Good night and love to all!</div>

July is Jared's birthday month!!! He never wants to celebrate big like I do... so we do a cake with some friends and family and call it good.<br />

Breeann ended up getting a new IV!! So... if you've been following us, you know May and June were kind of rough. Well, that first week of July she started going downhill again. We did more blood work and it showed her line was dirty... AGAIN! So, after much talking and praying...we decided that the line needed to go. It was about 16 months old anyway... which is great for Bree!!<br />

She's been doing so much better since we got that new line in her. She's my happy girl again. Her oral eating has really taken off overall too. She's not chewing her food, so we got to watch that and we're working with feeding therapy. So hopefully it comes quick for her.<br />
<br />
We went to Texas for a week and spent some time with Jared's side. It was so incredibly amazing!! My kids had a blast playing with cousins... as you can see in this pic<br />

And I loved just being there with my sisters-in-law and just having fun! To be honest, I didn't want to come back at all. I was sad when we had to go. But that's life.<br />

We went to Pleasant Grove "Strawberry Days" carnival... we meet up with Ayden's bio. mom there. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of the two of them.<br />

Father's Day!!! I'm not good with words, unfortunately, but Jared's such an amazing, sweet, fun, caring dad. I'm hoping he had a great day. The kids each picked a present from them and we got one from the dogs. I got Jared shirt, Ayden got Jared water guns, Bree got Jared swim shorts, and the dogs got him pants.<br />

Breeann's "Payne Day"!!! It was fun, but kind of low key due to getting discharged from the hospital that day (more on that later). We just did pizza, snow cones, and a couple presents with my sisters and nephews.<br />

We spent a lot of fun times with my two sisters and nephews. I just thought this picture was funny... the two using the other as a couch<br />

So here's where I explain the last ... couple months really. So since beginning of May, Bree has not been herself. Just acting like she doesn't feel well all the time, high output (diarrhea, leaking from the feeding tube, throw up), and constant low grade fevers. She was admitted May 18 for a line infection. There we found out one of her vein access sites... to use for her IV sites... has reopened!!! Best news we have received in a long time. We felt like we could breath easier. Definitely miracle and tender mercy. On June 22, Bree got admitted with yet another line infection. So before we left, we talked them into doing a intestinal scan. Results showed her intestines have dilated again. Her being dilated means her intestines can't move as well and she can't absorb her formula/food as well either. Hence the high output we were seeing... or at least part of it. At this point, we switched her to a feeding up (boo for wearing a backpack again) and her dr. told us he didn't know what us to really do for her and requested we go back to Nebraska. So we are currently working on getting back out there for another transplant evaluation. It is possible they can do another STEP procedure but we're uncertain and won't know until we get her evaluated out there. We'll keep everyone posted. We're getting into July now, BUT might as well finish the story right? On July 7 (yay for staying out on Jared's birthday and 4th of July) Bree was admitted with another line infection. At this point we decided her IV was probably colonized with bacteria (meaning they just made themselves at home there) and made the difficult decision of removing the IV (which was like 16 months old) and getting her a new one. She went through both procedures great. We were particular about the surgeon we used, and the amazing, talented man who did Bree's original resection (removal of the intestines), placed her feeding tube, etc... He was the primary dr. for our angel for the first 4 months of her life. Anyway~ he put his great skill to use and yeah... Today, Breeann is doing great! She's acting like she feels better, she's tolerating feeds and even asking to eat!, and hasn't really had any low grade fevers even. She's use to the backpack again and is our happy, sassy, sweet Bree. </div>

So that sums us up. If anyone has any further questions, i didn't explain things good, etc... please, please, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're an open book and hope our story can help others. Hope this finds everyone doing fabulous!!! Love to all.</div>
