Incase you all don't read our Nelson blog (which you all should), I'll update our weekend.
My feeding tube got clogged (AGAIN......WHY DO THESE PROBLEMS ALWAYS HAVE TO HAPPEN ON THE WEEKEND WHEN THE DR IS NOT AVAILABLE????) so I ended up on the hospital. They tried multiple times to declog it but failed so they had decided they were going to have to put in a new tube. The 2 doctors came to have me sign the concent form and decided to try once more to declog it and lo and behold it worked!!!
Since I was not fed with my tube saturday or sunday I got to see what my life would be like without tube feedings: much like my first pregnancy. I vomited every 20 minutes all day long and was MISERABLE. I had Steve knock me out with some medication at 4pm yesterday after I got home because I couldn't take it anymore. I slept until 7am (a nice medicated sleep). I'm super weak today, but doing better otherwise since my feeding tube is working.
I am SOOOO grateful for this feeding tube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how you can stand it. Quit shoving sour straws down there and I'll bet your tube clogging issue will go away.

I'm grateful for your feeding tube too when it works. I had a 4-hour or so episode of vomiting yesterday, and developed a new sense of sympathy for you. Sorry CAN.

Glad it's working again. Didn't anyone ever tell you to chew your food? :) So how are things going now that Mom is gone?

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
