Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

We had a busy weekend with Mason's grandma and grandpa Goates in town. Friday they got to my house at about 3 and were surprised to see Jessica there with Mason. Mason had a rough day, but his fever broke around noon Friday and he started feeling better. He loved showing grandma and grandpa all the fun things he can do. Saturday, we took Mason back to the doctor's for another antibiotic shot. After we saw the doctor and told him that we thought his stomach flu was gone, we were waiting for the nurse to give him his shot. Marshall was holding him, and all of a sudden, Mason gurgles and spits up a little. I turned around to get some kleenex and just then Mason threw up all over himself, Marshall, and the office. It was so gross, but Mason didn't seem to mind at all. He was mad that we wouldn't let him keep playing! Anyway, after Marshall went home to change Mason seemed to be feeling okay, so Marshall and Mason went with my dad and brother to Cabbella's while I shopped with the girls for Jessica's wedding dress. I ended up spending the day with my family, but after Mason and Marshall were done at Cabbella's they went home, then to the store to get our new (fake) Christmas tree becuase it was on sale, and then down to Santaquin for Grandma Ada's birthday party. We all finally met up at about 8 for dinner. Phew! Long day.

Sunday Mason showed off for Grandma and Grandpa all morning, and then, since we didn't want to take him to church while he was sick, my parents took him up to Salt Lake to wait at my Aunt Maralyn's for us. After we taught our Sunday School lesson, Marshall and I drove up and we had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.

This morning Mason woke up soaking wet at about 5. We had been worried all weekend because he hadn't been eating much and was dehydrated, so it was kind of nice to see a wet diaper finally. After we changed him, he tried to play for a while but was so tired he went back to bed. He is at the babysitters this morning, but I'm going to go get him at 11 if he is not feeling well. We take him back to the doctor's for his hopefully last antibiotic shot. I sure hope he feels better soon!

We're Coming Home!!!

I'm not posting "before" pictures because they are a little too scary, but this is a pretty good "after" picture if you ask me! Mason had another amazing night. Yesterday he wouldn't stand on his own (we think because of all the bruising, pulled groin muscle, swollen foot) but he slept really well all night (and kept his oxygen levels up without help) and this morning he woke up with a lot more energy. He ate 3 little boxes of fruit loops, 2 containers of milk, and is working on a muffin now. He's gone potty by himself, and walked back and forth to the playroom down the hall two or three times. He seems completely back and in the playroom used potato heads to re-enact a scene from Toy Story 2. The pediatrician just came in and told us that he feels good about going home as long as we follow-up with our pediatrician by Wednesday morning at the latest to get the stitches out, re-write prescriptions (can't fill Canadian ones in US), and decide where ...

Quick Update

First of all, thanks for all the prayers we know are received. I'm going to make this update quick and dirty since I have a hard time thinking about it and I want to get back to Mason. I also don't know if every detail is completely accurate but this is the way I understand it. Yesterday afternoon my dad and Marshall took the two boys hiking at Boundary Bay in Waterton . It is a short flat trail that you access through a boat ride and goes for a mile or so and crosses over a creek. They were hiking along and when they got close to the creek the boys stopped and Mason held my dad's hand while Myles held Marshall's. My dad and Mason were in front and to get onto the bridge (just two cut logs with a hand rail on one side) you have to step on a rock. Mason and my dad both stepped on the rock and Mason was so excited to see the water that he jumped up onto the bridge. He slipped, causing my dad to loose his balance and Mason spun around causing my dad to loose the grip on hi...

Miraculous Update July 4th 6 AM

We had an amazing night. Yesterday the doctors said they would take out the tube in the morning unless he was clearly awake and tried pulling it out (because they wanted to go home--understandably). We had two wonderful nurses who have been working with him who really believed he was ready and would be happier with it out and so they irritated him to wake him by taking out his cathetar, brushing his teeth, suctioning him over and over until he really was awake and fighting them. The doctor finally said they could take it out and after grabbing a team of about 10 and a crash cart just in case they took it out. He threw up a lot, coughed a bit, whined a little, and then fell back to sleep (perfect because all he has in him is tylenol and is probably in pain). He woke up 3 or 4 times during the night absolutely frantic kicking and crying and each time he would eventually say softly "potty, need to get out". He was wearing a diaper and we would all just have to encourage him tha...
