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!

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

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...

Escrow

Well we found the perfect house for us on Thursday! We put the offer on today and they accepted! We expect to close the third week of March! I knew it was the right one as soon as I walked in the door. The picture below shows half the house, you can't see the whole thing on Google Earth because of the trees. It's been updated really well, but it has a few things we can still do to get more value out of it when we sell it in a few years. It's totally cute on the inside, just under 2000 square feet and has a great yard and deck. It came with some nice perks too, so we're really excited. I'll have a nice big housewarming party so you can all see it in April once we're settled in! Yay! Ok so the sad part is, we won't be in the Dash Point Ward anymore. :( We'll be in the Federal Way ward so we're still in the stake at least. It's really sad because I totally love our ward, it's awesome and I love my calling with the Young Women but at least I w...
