Surgery?

So this was a pretty whirlwind weekend. While prepping to go to the PSU vs Mich game on Saturday we decided to take Dylan to the emergency room because he was projectile vomiting for the past 24 hours and not eating well.

Turns out - he had a pyloric stenosis. The muscle between his stomach and his intestines was enlarged and was not allowing any food to get through to his intestines - leads to the puking, then to malnutrition, dehydration, and eventually if not taken care of, death (long process).

So, off to Danville goes Leah with him and I stayed home with Caleb and Chelsea. Surgery on Sunday morning and then a long day of slow feedings and recovery. Now Dylan has his own little scar above his belly button. We also have to monitor Chelsea for the same possible problem.

Lets just say I had a long weekend, and Leah had an even longer one. The stress of this situation is not near that of Caleb's, but add 2 other children into the mix and it makes for an overly tense weekend. However - things are moving back into the realm of normal and we hope to get back on track ASAP at home.

I have always respected what my wife did at home, even more so with 3 kids. She does get some help on a daily basis - but with what she has now - absolutely incredible what she does and who she is. Add on that the fact that she has saved my life by marrying me, Caleb's by figuring out something was wrong, and now Dylan's ... she actually diagnosed him before the doctors.

So now everything at home is clearing up, and at work - my right hand man and only driver - Mr. Dave Jackson, a long time friend of the family, his mother died this morning. So please pass your prayers onto him and his family. She was 96 and the process has been in motion for awhile, but that doesn't make things any easier.

So I sent Dave home. He is going to let me know, but we have 2 runs this week and we have to build a wall in the storage space. Doesn't look like that is going to happen! However - his mother is more important than anything we are doing here.

Pictures of Halloween later!
