Here is my little boy doing his breathing treatments,He is so brave :)
For example, just about 4 weeks ago both my kids were diagnosed with a nasty upper respiratory infection called RSV. It was probably the sickest I have ever seen my kids, that lasted about 2 and a half lonnnng weeks, being up every 2 hours or so with each kid was hard, Tyson seemed to just be feeling better recently when the cough got worse and the fever started! He seemed to be having a hard time breathing today so we took him to his pediatricians office to find his oxygen levels low and that he is being treated like he has A typical phenomena, so now hes on antibiotics and breathing treatments every 4-6 hrs. We are praying that Jarom doesnt catch it and that our Tyger feels better soon...
Anyways on to more uplifting news...well not really...
December 8th was Tyson and I's 3rd wedding anniversary! Usually that means a nice relaxing day,and romantic evening with the kids at the sitters....UGH NOPE! NOT THIS ANNIVERSARY!... lets just say we had a "relaxing day getting pulled out of our car and being rushed to the hospital by ambulance, and a "romantic evening in the Emergency Room. Laying next to each other, wincing in pain" hummm picture perfect right:) Ya, not really. So here's the Story;
We were on our way to Tyson's Dads house to drop the kids off. We were driving East on Cherry Ln. and slowed down to a stop, to let the traffic heading the opposite way pass, we were about to turn left into Tyson's Dads driveway when we were rear ended by a truck that was going full speed 50 mph! (he was looking down at his phone so he didnt even slow down when he hit us) we were pushed crossed into oncoming traffic into a ditch and slide about 25 feet, where we hit a fence that stopped us. (eww just writing this gives me goosebumps) The only thing i really remember about the whole experience is after the accident i remember laying flat down on my seat curled on my side facing Tyson with my hand holding the back of my head, the kids were crying, and my sweet husband was in shock but was calming all of us down and called 911. People were rushing around making sure we were okay. One sweet lady passing by came to my window and held my hand while she said a prayer... I didnt know it until a few minutes later that the warm sensation that i was feeling in my hand was blood dripping from my head, that kinda sent me over the edge. The ambulance finally came after sitting in the freezing cold for what felt like hours, but in reality was only minutes. They got the kids out first, they were shaken up emotionally but physically they seemed unscathed which was an absolute miracle, being that we were rear ended and the whole trunk was smashed in all the way and the back window was completely shattered. Then they pulled me out and put me on a stretcher and into a neck brace. Then into an ambulance where the proceed to cut off my favorite (not exaggerating:) jacket and sweater to properly place IVs and such.(at this point I was in no shape mentally to realize what clothes were being cut off of me, if i was i think i would have begged them not to:) When the paramedics asked my husband if he was ok he said he thought so and that he didnt need a stretcher. He then got up(still in shock) and started walking, he about made it to the ambulance when he passed out and went face first into the snow fallen ground. Our kids were meanwhile being very well taking care of by grandpa and grandma. The ambulance ride over was horrible, Tyson was going in and out of consciousness, and I felt like i had been hit by a truck ( literally hehe) but more seriously it was probably the worst part of the whole experience for me.. I was laying there not really knowing how my kids were, not knowing if my husband was going to be okay, just seeing paramedics rushing around us with somber expressions. I almost felt like i was watching everything happen from a different perspective. I was numb and didn't even feel the IVs being put in, or the gash on my head....
At the hospital, we were taken in and treated. We both had couple CAT scans done, and I had an EKG test. Overall I had 4 staples for the back of my head, a concussion, a neck injury, and major whiplash. Tyson had deep tissue bruising, major muscle tears to his back, and whiplash. Both of our boys checked out of the hospital just fine. .... But with how severe the accident was we are SO BLESSED to have come out of it with as little injures as we had! It was a complete miracle, We are just SO THANKFUL that our boys were unharmed. We know that our Heavenly Father was watching over us that day... So yes not exactly the anniversary we hoped for to say the least, but definitely a memorable one.
Chrismas 2009
Okay so no more depressing stories, but like I said this is a lonnng post, So I might as well write about it while Im sitting here right? The holidays were a rush, but Christmas was special, it was the first Christmas in our new home and despite our injuries we were able to get a Christmas tree put up (thanks to my mother and father in law) and we did have gifts for our boys under the tree come Christmas morning. It was Jaroms first Christmas, he had a blast, his favorite things were his suckers and the boxes and wrapping paper like most other 8 month olds on Christmas:) (his favorite gifts were his music table and pooh book thanks abulita and gma and gpa nutt:) Tyson got a 51 piece farm set, complete with a barn, animals, tractors, trucks,and people! the works :) He also loved his tool set from his aunt Nina and uncle Bob! The boys got so spoiled,thanks to all our family!... We also spent part of the holidays with My sister and law Geri and her family who were visiting from out of town, it was great seeing them!....
New years quickly approached with the event of Tysons Moms wedding, taking place on New Years Eve! It was a beautiful occasion and she was a breathtaking Bride. We are so happy for her and eternal companion! WE LOVE YOU TWO!
I dont have any pictres of just the bride and groom but these are the ones I have.
So There you are!! This is pretty much what The Walkers have been up to these last couple of months, Im sure there is more to say, but that would just make for an even LONGER post. This should suffice for now!!!
