Much Needed Update!!!

So it has been WAY too long since I have posted and I apologize! It started out that I felt NOTHING was going on in our lives that I really needed to update but then this week has been crazy!!! Anyways, here is what is going on with us!

At the begining of February we moved in with Shawn's parent's down in Lehi while we await our move to Eden. Things are going slower than we planned but all that matters is things are going! We are still not in Eden but are lucky to have the hospitality of Shawn's parent's while we are here! For those of you who don't know we are moving to Eden for a great job oportunity for Shawn and we are VERY excited!

Jaden is adjusting well to being here and has been a real trooper..here are some of his new favorite things!

This is where the J man likes to hang while mom gets ready!
He cracks me up!

We get to go on some fun little walks! Lots more of these in Eden!
I must say that I do LOVE being so close to Thanksgiving Point! It has so many great and fun things to do! Jaden is VERY into horses and animals and loves going to the farm to see the "neighs" (yes every animal is refered to by the sound they make)
Jaden adores his grandparents and I am glad he is getting to spend some quality time together before we are far away and our visits become A LOT less frequent!


So needless to say things have been going well for us, but Monday night we hit a snag....

Last year at almost this exact same time Jaden got RSV/Bronchialitis and ended up at Primary Children's for a week on oxygen. It was an emotional time and so sad to see our little man so sick. He was a trooper though and made a great recovery. Well on Monday Jaden got his second spout with Bronchialitis in the last month and we were back at the dr's. They sent me home but low and behold at about 5:30 I knew that he wasn't ok. I took him to the insta care and by midnight that night we were back in the hospital with you guessed it, RSV and Bronchialitis.

This cute little mischevious face...

Once again looked like this....

We did get lucky this time though and only ended up staying about 24hrs. I was so upset though at the begining of the season the doctor had told me that because he got RSV last season the odds of him getting it again were slim. Well come to find out that Jaden has Restrictive Airway Disease. Which basically means that when he gets a cold, he gets asthmatic symptoms and it hits him hard. The good news is that now we know what to do and he will probably grow out of it! We also now are the proud owners of one of these fun little machines... boo!
It actually will be a good thing, because now when Jaden catches a cold I can give him a breathing treatment at home.

As rough as a week as it was we are back to being healthy and my happy little man is running around again... and we are looking forward to many more days of...


and..


Jaden has grown up SO much lately that I can barely believe it! He is talking so much! Even full sentences...when he feels like it! Time flies!

Oh my goodness Katie! What a scary thing to go through...TWICE! I've dealt with lots of RSV babies/kids and it can be so scary! I can only imagine. I'm so glad though that you were such a good mom and saw the warning signs soon so he wasn't in the hospital too long. He's a trooper! (and that means you are too! ;o)...) I'm so glad he's okay now. And I'm so excited for you guys to move up here to Eden! (it's really not far away from where I live, and we'll have to get together!!) Are you guys building? Do you guys need help with moving or anything like that?? I'd be more than happy to help, so please feel free! :o)

Well... I'm so glad to hear an update! So scary about Jaden, but glad you now have a nebulizer @ home. I actually just picked one up for Carmine on Friday for his Asthma/Allergies. They are SO nice! (And SO expensive, but TOTALLY worth it!) Does Jaden's have the cute little fish face mask? Anyways... glad to check in on you guys! Love and miss you! xoxo

Poor little guy! At least it wasn't as bad this time and like you said it's probably a big relief to at least know how to handle those things now and what's causing them. If you guys need anything, let us know. And we can't wait to come visit you in Eden. . . When you get there. :)
