Myles Update

Just a quick update for those readers that I do not have email addresses for. I had to take Myles to the clinic on Monday night due to some boil type sores he had been getting. The doctor called in another doctor and phoned a peditrician and then took a culture of the sore. It came back on Tuesday morning as Staph Infection. We have been treating Myles with an antibiotic since Monday night. I received news today that the strand of infection that he has is pretty antibiotic resistant. The doctor wants to see him again today and will more than likely admit him into the hospital. I am heading that direction in an hour with the bags packed just in case. I will let you all know when we have better news.

The LONG awaited post.....

Well, I've finally made it to the basement to post some pictures from our busy weekend. We headed down to Worland on Friday (8/10) for a few doctor appointments and then for the start of my 10 Year Class Reunion. It was fun to see everyone and catch up on a few things. We also were able to make it to Nowoodstock for a little while too.

Early Monday morning, we headed into the hospital for the delivery of Myles Thomas. Here is a picture of me hugging the kids before heading into surgery. And Grady getting ready for it:
The kids had quite a bit of entertainment while we were gone. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! Here's Fiona enjoying some of it:
Stuart's new airplane:
Macy making me a necklace (a bit too small, but I love it anyway!):
And the arrival of Myles Thomas Trombley! He was born at 8:34 a.m., weighing in at 7 lbs, 6 oz. (but fell to 6 lbs., 4 oz. before coming home), and was 20 1/4 inches long. I was in surgery for two hours for this one.

We did have some complications and I was pretty much down for the entire day Monday. Sorry anyone that was there. I hardly remember much. I had to have pressure on the incision for two hours before entering another two hour surgery to stop the bleeding. All is well now, and we are on the mend.

The kids enjoyed Grandma and Grandpa's hot tub lots this past weekend. I'm reallly surprised they even made it over to visit Myles and I at all:

At home, the big brother showing off his new baby brother:
Macy just loves to hold him and would probably sit most of the day doing so if we let her:
If you couldn't tell from the pictures, Myles has way less hair than the other kids had when they arrived. I am convinced that he looks just like his daddy though. He is having a tough time adjusting to the day/night deal, so I'm a bit tired, but have help and will nap. He has picked up the eating rather well for not having anything his first day out. A tiny addition, he is swimming in all of his clothes, but we will have him plumped up soon I'm sure.

That's about it from here, we are home and back online. I will post more later, I need to go check on the kiddos upstairs now. Thank You everyone for your help and support over the past week. We love you all.

Some Things I Love about My Husband

Today I was given some very special reads that my sister-in-law had written. I read them, and re-read them, and thought alot about how much I have failed in expressing my appreciation to many people. I have to start with my husband though, since right now I KNOW that he deserves to be first....especially in light of my major mood swings that are about as constant as my tossing and turning in bed at night.

1. He will do anything for me, if I just ASK, and not assume he knows.
2. He has given me the best ten years of my life, I've grown so much with him.
3. He has given me three beautiful, children....and one more in a week!
4. He keeps his word to everyone, even forgetful children.
5. He is the one that helps me sit up to feed at night for the first week after having babies, EVERYTIME, and he emptied the bladder bag after Stuart's birth.
6. Somehow, he gives me patience just by being with the kids and I.
7. He will work all day and still come home to cook dinner if I am not in the mood for it.
8. He doesn't pressure me for anything, if I'm running late, he'll wait quietly. (I can't do this.)
9. He keeps his opinions to himself to save an argument. I know that this has to be hard.
10. He loves his family and loves to spend time with them.

These are just a few, I have children wanting stories read and I can't keep the tears from forming. I am truely a blessed woman to have met and married such a great man. I could not imagine where I would be right now without him. Grady.....I love you!
