Whoops

So the doctor called today. Apparently, the ultrasound lady was wrongo bongo. Tyler still has Pyelectasis of the Kidney.

Once he is born they have to do tests and ultrasounds on him and give him antibiotics. Then if the problem persists, they have to surgically treat the area by installing a stent or small straw in his bladder.

I'm still processing this information but I am trying to have faith in knowing that everything will work out.

At this point, most of my fears are selfish; I just want to take him home when he's born-- not sit around a hospital while a doctor cuts him open in some far off operating room.

I'm kind of upset. I also have to admit I'm a little worried like what if this means he has Down Syndrome or something--(Down Syndrome can be linked to this problem). I would love him just the same of course but it would be a tough life for our whole family, most importantly Tyler.

I know all of this is just worries until he's born but it does sort of put a damper on the whole thing. Now I just wish it was March 8th so I could know for sure what the future holds.

I am so sorry you even have to worry about this. I know this was not what you had planned for Tyler when he was born but I have faith that everything will be ok. It just isn't fair. You and baby Tyler are in my prayers daily. I love you and I will be here for you every step of the way.

Although that is not great news, at least there is a plan and the doctors are aware and prepared in case they do need to do surgery. Technology is amazing. Hopefully the antibiotics work and you'll be able to take Tyler home after 24 hours and not have to have him in surgery away from you. No matter what he'll be perfect and we are also praying for you and Tyler. Not too much longer and you'll meet him!

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
