croup :(

Sunday was pretty busy getting everything done for young women in excellence
later that night.
this calling sure keeps us on our toes and very busy.
Monday Dad was passing through on his way home from Denver.
so we got to have lunch with him, don and Jason.
Trav, Tys, and their girlfriends joined us. 
I was starting to get a little worried about Ty, he was starting to sound pretty hoarse.
it is that time of year when the crud is going around. 
that evening when Eric got home we started to notice that he started having 
a cough, and it was sounding pretty bark so we knew we better get him checked out pretty quick.
luckily Eric was off work Tuesday so he was able to go to the pediatrician with us.
he was in the beginning stages of croup and we were warned that the worst was
probably just ahead of us. 
They gave him a steroid shot and some tips to help him feel better and sent us on our way.
that evening we took him out on a drive thinking the fresh air would do him some good.
the poor kid screamed the whole time.
and the next day all he did was just scream... and very rarely sleep... and completely refuse to eat.
the poor kid was breaking my heart.
I called to see if they thought it was the steroid making him so out of sorts and
they suggested we come in to check on all his levels.
so back to the doctor we went.
the poor little guy would just cry and cry.
he was seriously breaking my heart.
but they gave him a good look over and double checked all his levels
and concluded that it was probably just the steroid making him all out of sorts.
he FINALLY fell asleep on the way home and we had a pretty ok
evening after that. 
Thursday Eric and Madyn desperately needed out of the house so 
they went out to the ward thanksgiving dinner while me and ty stayed home.



little man was actually starting to get happier! 
he was such a trooper. 
such a happy little guy even though you could tell he didnt feel good.
whenever we would cough he would just wimper and it was the saddest little thing.
so seeing those smiles brought a lot of peace to my worried heart.
that weekend we had planned to take the kiddos down to Lyman 
so all the grandkids could go to Disney on Ice down in Utah.
well with ty being so sick I didnt dare take him down.
he's not the best traveller anyways so thinking about him fussing the whole way there 
just didnt sound very fun at all.
plus add in traveling when we have had very little sleep
and the roads were supposed to be bad... we decided that we better back out.
but mom and dad were doing this for the grandkids so mom thought she better come
down to pick madyn up so she wouldn't be left out.
she made it to rock springs and then decided that the roads were too bad and 
that she better turn around.
mads was pretty bummed but we tried to make the best out of our weekend.
we had movie nights and lots of treats.
Saturday I took a last minute spot at a vendor event. 
Eric kept the kiddos with him and they came and saw me for the last hour or two.
it was a pretty good hit.
which was pretty refreshing after such a crazy week.
