Kaybrie's hospital stay

We got home from camping around 6:30pm. We showered and packed for the Hospital. We got to the Hospital around 8pm her temp was 104.9 and I explained her history of UTI's. They drew blood, got a urine sample and started an IV. She was admitted with a Kidney infection a short time later and in her room around 2am. They started the antibiotics right away but it took two and a half days for her fevers to finally go down. The Dr wanted her to be fever free for 24 hours before he would release her to go home. On the day before we were going to go home I noticed her little hand turning RED under the tape near her IV site. By the time the RN was concerned about it (24hours later) she had developed some kind of infection on her hand that caused blistering :( We ended up having to stay 2 more days and had to start an additional antibiotic for her hand. We were there a total of 6days and 5 nights. She has a procedure this week to see if we can figure out why she keeps getting these dang uti's.
I don't have pictures of her the first few days we were there because She was so sick and didn't want me to put her down long enough for me to even think about the camera. But here are a few pictures of her the last few days.
This is a picture I took on Friday on the way home from camping. Can't you tell she isn't feeling well. Her temp was aprox 104+ :( poor baby.
Her Best Cousin Keala came to visit her several times, They were so cute and always happy to see each other!

playing in the Jail crib ;)

Michelle gave me a break so I could shower. THANK YOU!!!!! You're awesome!



My Cousins wife Cristy (who's son was just a few rooms down form us) Made this adorable hat for her. She loved it!

Since she couldn't get on the floor to crawl (I mean scoot) around I used the window to entertain her.

Her poor hand :(

We had lots of visitors =) I especially liked these ones!!

Breakfast on the last day of her stay!

We are very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. Thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughts and visits and phone calls and gifts and love etc... We have a lot to be thankful for!!!

Needless to say it was a very busy week and I am glad to be home. I love this time of year. It truly is the season of miracles.

Thanksgiving week

My sister Dixie came with her family for the week and my kids and I couldn't have been more excited!! Here are some of the fun things we did while they were here!!
The Kids earned a trip to Amazing Jake's by being good to each other!

We made hand shaped sugar cookies and let the kids decorate them to look like turkeys using frosting and chocolate chips. I thought they all did a GREAT job.

Zayah
We went camping at the Imperial Sand Dunes near Yuma AZ. It was so fun. I got to try out my little camp trailer for the first time and I LOVED it and was SO glad I had it. I haven't been riding in a really long time! I bailed off my bike on my first ride then I didn't wanna get back on. I have three precious little things that I worry about. I can't afford to get hurt when they are counting on me :) but it was fun!
Handsome JJ
Zayah rode the Zinger. This is the very same bike that I learned to ride on when I was about 5 . He did a GREAT job even though every time he rode my heart started pounding and my stomach was in knots. It was fun to see him improve. He is a brave little 4yr old! I'm very proud of him!

Kaybrie and I had to cut our vacation short because she spiked a fever Thanksgiving night. On Friday I drove her home and took her to the ER... this story TBC in the next post!

Visit with The grandpas

Grandpa Aumua came to Arizona and brought Great grandpapa. The kids really Loved visiting playing with them. Isaiah and Great grandpapa Telefoni Aumua. He is 90 years old and speaks very little English but neither of those things stopped him from enjoying his great grandchildren. He was very funny and had the kids laughing and smiling!


Kaybs just chillin in her little chair.


Halia and Isaiah with Grandpa Telefoni Aumua Jr.


We haven't seen him since Feb 2010. Kaybrie was only 2 months old but seemed like she knew exactly who Grandpa was =)
I'm Glad that they made the long trip from Hawaii and that we got to share some of their time while they were here.

Halloween 2010

We were able to dress up three times this year... We went to Shannon and Donalds (my sister and brother in law) Ward trunk or treat, our own ward trunk or treat and also on Halloween to pass out candy and carve pumpkins at Shannon and Donalds house. It was so fun to see the kids get excited about dressing up! I really love the Fall and Winter holiday season!

Camp LoMia TMR

We had a GREAT time at our ward camp out. It was held at camp LoMia. Being there brought back a flood of girls camp memories, it was great. My mom and I took my three kids and went. We were the first ones there and it was actually 4 hours until the next family came. We played on the tire swing, played in the rain , got really cold and hung out in the craft cabin for a while and let the kids run. They held a ward talent show (those are always good). We just spent time with friends and got to know people a little better. We are blessed to have great people in our ward! I can't wait to do it again.
