Well Thomas the Train came to Billings the 10th true the 12th and we headed down to the depot to see him. Vicki got Owen and Andy tickets to ride Thomas and Owen was thrilled. Andy and Owen headed down to ride and I met them latter on after the ride was over. My mom and sister also joined us with Tay and Brayden. The boys all had a great time but I think that Owen was by far the most excited. Owen loves Thomas and we heard all about it for days after it was over! He had a tattoo on his arm that we were not allowed to was when he had baths! I actually just got it off last Friday.
Well I was doing a little better over the weekend so we decided to go to Laurel so the Andy and Owen could see the fire works and have a bbq with my family. I just hung out mostly and had my soft food!!! I was so jealous of every one eating hamburgers. I am not doing much talking right now either so I could not even enjoy and nice visit with anyone. I was able to watch the boys have fun with some fire crackers. Owen is afraid of them but he loved poppers. I was able to get him to help me light a couple smoke bombs after a lot of convincing him that it would be okay.
I have also done two other posts along with this one.
These are just a few pictures from the past week of the boy's and their cousins. They have been able to spend a lot of extra time together as I have been healing from my surgery.
Well Beau has started eating rice cereal and he loves it. It is so cute to watch him get so excited to see that spoon coming. He starts kicking his feet and flailing his arms round.
Well on Monday I had my tonsils taken out and let me tell you that it sucks. I wish that they would have been taken out when I was a kid because kids recover from this surgery a lot faster and easier then adults do. So I went in at 9:30 and was is surgery at around 11. The surgery was about 45 minutes and I was told that it went really well. I did not leave to go home till 4:30. I had gotten sick from the pain medication that they gave me so they then gave me something to help my stomach but that mad me really sleepy so it took much longer for me to be able to leave. About an hour after we got home I ended up throwing up and wishing that I had never had the surgery in the first place. I pretty much just ended up sleeping the rest of the day after that. Vicki took the kids for us during the surgery and Melissa took them over night. Then on Tuesday my mom and Melissa came over with all of the boys and helped to take care of me. Melissa took the boys over night once again and at 3 in the morning I woke up throwing up again. Man I was so miserable. Throwing up after having surgery on your throat is not the greatest feeling in the world. So Andy called the doctor in the morning and we found out that I was getting sick from my pain medication and that I needed to cut down on how much I was taking and add Motrin to my regiment. He also said that I need to be eating more to help but it is really hard to eat when you can not swallow very well. Then Vicki took the boys over night on Wednesday. I have had a much better day today and have been able to eat a little more. I have been enjoying yogurt, pudding, chicken noodle soup, mashed avocado, cream of wheat and carnation instant breakfast. I was also able to do a little talking today. I was told that it is a 10 to 14 day recovery for adults so I still have a little ways to go. I am hoping that when this is all said and done that I am glad that I had the surgery. I do not know what I would have done without the help of my family. They have been so much help to me with taking care of the boys and me. Thank you so much mom. Melissa and Vicki. I appreciate all the help that you have given me.
I am a child of God, a wife and a mother. We live in Billings and I work part time for our church. We have two boys Owen and Beau who keep me very busy.
