Stress

The past few days have been quite stressful. Kayden has been very sick the past few days and I just feel terrible that I can't help him. Joey took him to the doctor on Tuesday and they told him he has dual ear infections and bronchitis. I thought that was bad and then I went to work today and got a phone call from Joey while I was in the classroom saying I needed to come home because Kayden was gagging and turning blue. Needless to say, I was freaking out as I was trying to get another teacher to cover for me. Thank goodness the director and assistant director at my work are as great as they are. They were so understanding and hurried me out the door to go take care of my baby. Anyways, we took Kayden to the hospital where they did an x-ray on his chest. They said he has some stuff (I can't remember what its called) near his lungs which if its not treated properly will turn into pneumonia again. The doctor there also said his asthma is acting up really bad so we need to give him treatments 4-5 times a day. Very overwhelming! I know I said it in another post but I really thank God for blessing us with such a great baby, and although he is sick, a healthy one. I cant even imagine what other people go through. While at the hospital, the doctor also suggested we have Kayden tested for Cystic Fibrosis since it runs in Joey's family. The thought scares me but I know I shouldnt worry until anything comes back. My Mom spent the day with us and so did Connie; both of whom I am so thankful for. I can't imagine what I would do without both of them. Sorry if I just rabbled on...I just wanted to post something to keep everyone updated...I havent gotten a chance to write lately since work has been a bit hectic! But we love you all and are thinking about everyone always!! Love you all lots!

Love, Stef, Joey & Kayden

P.S. My sister's brother-in-law is currently losing his battle with cancer. They aren't sure how long he is going to last so I am asking if you will include him and his family in your prayers. They can definitely use any extra prayers in this hard time. Thanks so much!

Relief

I must say I feel a sense of relief now that I am doing what I have always wanted to do...work with children! I was blessed to get a job with Bright Horizons USAA division this past week. It is a lot of work....and more time away from Kayden & Joey than I would like...but I know it is a great opportunity and position! I am thanking God for giving me such a great chance to do what I love. On another crazy note....Mr. Kayden is officially army crawling! I swear he will be getting up on his knees to really crawl soon! I can't believe it! He's not even 5 months old yet!! :) Hope everything is going great with everyone. You are all in our thoughts and prayers! We love you all!!


Love, Stef, Joey & Kayden
