Camden's Back surgery.

So our little Camden had a vepter rod placed for his scoliosis on Sept. 18th. This was his X-Ray in one of his pre-op visits. The angle of his scoliosis changed which made the surgery necessary. One of the main concerns with severe scoliosis is impaired lung function. Luckily his lungs haven't been harmed yet. He did great through the surgery. The next pictures are ones they took in the surgery. The first one is after they placed the parts hold to his ribs and vertebrae. The the second is after they put the whole rod together. There is still a slight curve, but not what it was.

So one of Camden's favorite things about the hospital was riding the in red wheelchair. We only did it once for a few minutes, but it took him awhile to want to get out of it once we got back to the room. The hardest part of recovery for him was walking. We bibbed him with toys to encourage him to walk at first. He earned some new star was "boys." He slept this his "boys" and his cars that he got while he was in the hospital. They were his comfort toys.

So we came home the Sunday after his surgery and he has been doing good ever since. He definately likes being home, even though we had to convince him that we had to leave. He didn't want to get out of the Jammies and wanted to keep sleeping in their bed. We had to trick him out of the Jammies and told him that we were taking his "boys" home and he could come home with them or stay at the hospital. He chose to come home.

Our new dryscape

So one of our little projects for our house this year was to redo the front parkway. It was completely filled with white rocks, which irritated me. So we dug out all the rocks, which took forver and put in this rock and bark design. In the next few weeks we are expanding the design into the rest of the flower patch area in the front.

Lagoon Here We Come!!

Our vacation at home.... Lagoon. So this year we were pressed for time so we went on a mini vacation at home to Lagoon. It was Camden's first time to Lagoon. He was really funny. He would want to go on a ride and then change his mind when we got closer to the front of the line. Finally, we just convinced him and put him on the boat ride. He liked it. The only other rides we got him on was the train ride, Ferris Wheel, Puff and the Merri-GO-Round. Taegen had lots of fun and went on lots of rides.

Davis County Fair Time

Every year we go to the Davis County Fair. We have a lot of fun and it's free (except for parking). We go to the petting zoo the the kids fun zone. Then we usually have a little treat and watch some of the entertainment. It's a great way to spend the evening.

The new addition!

So my brother Ray and his wife Laura had their third child. His name is Kevin Lucus. He was born July 14th. So They have three kids now, Brayden almost 9, Anna 2 and now Kevin. Add that to my two and there are five grandkids in my family.
