Alo had surgery last night.
Diaphragmatic hernia had gotten bigger and trapped his small bowel inside
Stomach was completely clamped off.
Surgery situated his organs back where they belong and repaired the hole
Surgery also fixed some other stuff.
He is doing ok :)

Quick Update
I moved at the beginning of the month and I havent gotten my internet back on. It really stinks not having internet especially with all of my school working being done online! Im having to use a library and their internet is out a lot of the time. Anyway it shouldnt be too much longer and Ill have it back..
The updates.
Aybra and Kaia have been fine. Alo has been sick
I took him to the ER last week because he had one of his episodes. I still have no clue what the episodes are but he has now had a few of them. And he has been sick anyway but nothing too terrible. Just slight fever and increase secretions. The night I took him in he was having respiratory distress and was just kind of out of it. Its almost like seizures but its never been checked to see if it was. It seems his blood pressure also drops real low when he has them. His eyes kind of roll around and he is almost limp. Docs really have no clue either.. but My mother witnessed how he could go from perfectly fine to just really bad in a matter of seconds. Her and her boyfriend were pretty darn scared. Things were ok though.
The ER had absolutely no clue what to do. They have never seen him or any patient like him before. They called his PCP but his PCP has nothing to do with him either. And his PCP wasnt there it was the lady that works in the same clinic with him. She had never seen him before so she guessed at to what to do and just told the ER staff to find out from me what they normally do and do that. So we got sent home on some antibiotics because he has some slight pnuemonia.
I think the pnuemonia is from aspiration. I think his nissen is undone or something. At night time as his feeds are going its non stop suctioning at least every 2 minutes. During the day he is fine. Ive tried to position him upright at night but it doesnt help. He has a pulmonary appt tomorrow and Ill ask them then to put him back on his reflux meds and to get us in rather quickly to see about the nissen.

So long Bubba!!
Ok well kind of...If you remember a few weeks back I posted a video of Aybra calling me "bubba" which is what she calls me instead of Mama.. Well the little darling has learned to say Mama now and she has started calling me Mama. She still calls me Bubba as well but it seems that Mama is going to take over soon!!
31 Books.
Thirty-One.
That is the number of books Kaia has read so far (minus a few I have not updated yet). His goal is 150 and he is slowly but surely getting there.
We are moving in about 2 weeks and I hope to have had him read at least 50 by then.

Articles of Faith of Mormon Culture
Ive had so much going on lately that I dont know where to begin so Ill share other peoples content :)
This lovely gem was posted on Scripture Mom's Blog
Articles of Faith of Mormon Culture
1. We believe in SUVs and minivans, as the form of transportation, and in knee length shorts, which are always nice, and in the multilevel marketing.
2. We believe that church ball players should be punished for their own fouls, and not for unsportsmanlike aggression.
3.. We believe that through bread crumbs, cheese, creamy soups, and rice all casseroles can be saved through obedience to ward cookbooks and creativity in the mixing bowl.
4. We believe that the first layers and ingredients of the Dip are: first, beans; second, cheese; third, chopped tomatoes; fourth, the gift of sour cream; fifth, olives; sixth, salsa; seventh, guacamole, that is, if you have it.
5. We believe that a Mormon should have a distinguished or a cute name, that it is appropriate to name a child after a church leader or a historical figure including an ancestor, that alternative spellings and French prefixes only add to a name, and that when referring to the names of General Authorities, middle initials should be a part thereof.
6. We believe in the same wall decor that exists in many Mormon homes, namely, framed family proclamations, vinyl lettering, inspirational word signs, family photos, pictures of temples and Jesus, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of the re-gift, church books, crafts, family photos, baked goods, emergency supply kits, and so forth.
8. We believe in sparkling grape juice so long as it is nonalcoholic; we also believe in bringing root beer and sprite to ward parties.
9. We believe in all that we have scrapbooked, all that we will now scrapbook, and we believe that we will yet scrapbook many great and important things pertaining to our family, friends, pets, and vacations.
10. We believe in the literal mixing of ketchup and mayo and in the generous application of ranch dressing; that CBAs (church-based acronyms) will be used to describe YM/YW, PEC, the Y, NCMO, and CTR; that Mitt Romney will get Mormons to vote for him any time he runs; and, that the Mormons will enjoy reading Twilight and The Work and the Glory.
11. We claim the privilege of trying to identify common acquaintances with any visitor at church, and allow all other people at church the same privilege, and let them name drop the names of Famous and general authorities how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to scoutmasters, pampered chef hostesses, and the writers of the U.S. News and World Report Rankings for professional schools, and in obeying, honoring, and sustaining Glenn Beck.
13. We believe in being above average, good at crafts, optimistic, and being fifteen minutes late everywhere we go. Indeed, we may say that we follow BYU football. We believe rumors about famous people joining the church, we hope to meet the three Nephites, we have endured many pyramid schemes, and hope to be able to endure all pyramid schemes. If there is anything cheap, free, sold in bulk, or given away when somebody is moving, we seek after these things.
