Merry Jo

Merry Jo is one of my younger sisters. She just graduated high school in May and is dating a wonderful guy named Tommy. I got a text around 530 am today from Merry Jo saying that she had been rushed to the hospital last night but she was going to be okay. She had overian cysts, only recently found that out about 1 1/2 months ago when the first one burst. Well last night she was out with Tommy at a friends house when this one burst. Thankfully her friend is her doctor's niece and her brother is in medical school. Merry Jo passed out and than started throwing everything and anything up. Couldn't breathe because of all the pressure going on inside. Nasty business. The Docter/uncle told them to take her straight to the hospital. It turns out that when this cyst burst, it also ruptured an artery in her stomache. She had 2 liters of blood pumped out of her stomache and was then given 2 liters of new blood. The doctor in the ER told her and my mom and Tommy that if she had been any later, she could had died from the amount of blood in her stomache. SO thankfully, I still have a younger sister named Merry Jo. Brig and I went and saw her for a little bit this morning. She'll be there til sometime tomorrow afternoon.

A day in the kitchen

So yesterday I had most of my family over. My mom, Emily and Kambri. Damon, Tanner, and Jedera. Mom came to teach me how to make bread the correct way even though I have the recipe, though no one makes it like she does. I can say it turned out delicious. But off story. The kids came along to swim and Emily took Kambri into the pool as well. I can honestly say that Emily looks better in my swim suits while pregnant than I do. Which is good for her and a little depressing for me but its in the works to fit them all!!! Kambri didn't like the pool all that much but she loved looking down at everyone from the balcony over looking the pool. Brig was hanging on for dear life to Tanner. Thank good Tanner is a good uncle and loves his nephew. So Mom and everyone left around 430 pm. Tyler was on the phone setting up a job interview with Chase Bank (keep your fingers crossed!!!) so he didn't get to say good-bye. Any ways, I was taking out the bread shortly after that when Brig came into the kitchen. I told him Hot! Don't touch! I guess he thought I was talking about the oven door because he tried to push in the oven rack with his bare hand. Oh how he cried and I felt terrible. I wanted to cry too. So I ran his hand under cold water and than some aloe. Also some baby Tylenol because I didn't have anything else for him. I gave him an ice pack too. He thought that was great fun! He stopped crying and kept putting it on his head or in his mouth. I looked at his hand this morning, it wasn't to pretty. His right hand has some nasty blisters on it. 2 fingers and the pad of his hand between the 2. Today there was an occasional ouch but he didn't seem to notice it very much at all. I love my son. Its amazing how fast time is going. He'll be 2 in August and he still loves to cuddle with me like when he was born.
