Ashlynn's birthday party

We celebrated ashlynn's birthday on saturday. We had a blast. She got way to many presents but thats okay. Other than that i have been really busy, and not able to have much time for myself. Today we are going in for a development screening for Ashlynn.

He's Home!!!

My dad is home. He is doing really well, and is happy to be home. They said that he is the 4th person this year that has done so well. He is really happy about that. I was going to post some pictures, but i am not sure that anyone really wanted to see my dad inti baited, and his incision. So I will just have my little post.

Ashlynn's favorite Birthday gift

Well yesterday was Ashlynn's third birthday. and even though i spent the day in the hospital with my dad. She did get a gift. We only got her one cause she is having a big party on Saturday, and we took her to Disneyland. So as far as gifts go she wont be getting much.

Update on my dad. The surgery went well, and now he feels like he has been hit by a MAC truck. He is still in allot of pain, and really drugged up on morfin(sp). His surgery was at 8am yesterday, and they extibaited(sp) him at around 4pm, and they got him up to sit in a chair at about 6pm. He did not like any of that at all. They got him up this morning to walk the nurses station, and take a bath. And all he really says is that he is really uncomfortable. He threw up last night to. Which was not a good thing, but it happened. He is hopefully going to leave the CVICU(Cardio Vascular ICU) by Wednesday or Thursday, and hopefully come home before the weekend. He has been a trooper. As far as for me. I hated seeing him inti baited. It was really disturbing for me. I cant handle it, and it did not help that he was waking up for the first time when i went back to see him. So he started to gage, and was acting like he could not breath. I did not like it, but i got to see him after it was taken out, and that made it allot better.

I felt bad that i was not around much for ashlynn's birthday but i hope to make it up to her by having her party this weekend.

Sad News!!!

Today my dad went in for an angiogram (to look at the blockage in his heart). The out come of the procedure it that he has to have triple bi pass. We are really stressed. They wanted to do it today, but he told them that he wanted to go home and think about it and do some research. The doctor told him that he has never had anyone say that before. My dad is stressed and so is all the family. We all knew it would have to happen some time, but now it is actually time. He is making an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow, and then they will schedule the surgery then. So keep him in your prayers!!!

Disneyland

We went to breakfast with Lilo and Stitch and got to see other characters. This was Ashlynn's favorite part of the whole trip. She loved being with all the characters. She would copy everything they did. It was hilarious. She had a blast. As for Coleton he cried about everything. He hated the characters, and hated every ride we went on at Disneyland. Ashlynn got to see tinker bell and she was so excited every time.

Huntington Beach, CA

We left AZ at 3am and got to the beach around 10am. We sat at the beach all day and it was so relaxing the kids played in the sad for hours, and it was just fun. Ashlynn hated the water, and Coleton would have swam with the sharks if he knew how. Which is really funny cause he does not like to swim, but Ashlynn does. Oh well. We had a great trip.
