Surgery for the "little guy"

Kaleb had surgery this last friday down at primary childrens. The whole story started when he was about 2 months old and the Dr. wanted to "cath" kaleb for his jaundice. The Dr. found that the catheter wouldn't go past about 2 inches so he sent me down to a Dr. at primary childrens. Dr Wallis at PCMC took one look at kaleb and said "yep you will probably want to have surgery to correct this". Whats this? Well the last time I went to kaleb's Ped Dr. I noticed that kaleb had another hole on his "little guy". Dr. Wallis stated that he was urinating out of both wholes and that the lower one would have to be closed up. The night before the surgery we were really nervous not only for the surgery but how do you tell a 8 month old he can't have anything to eat. It actually turned out really well because they let me breastfeed him up to 4 hours before the surgery. I was really grateful that I was still nursing him because they wont let you give them formula after 12am. Anyway we got down to PCMC and there were tonz of kids having surgery and after finding out what some of them were having down kalebs was a 'piece of cake'. When they took kaleb away I thought it would be the hardest thing ever but kaleb didn't care he just went with the DR. I also new in my heart that nothing would go wrong I had a good feeling that he would be just fine. Kaleb's surgery took 2 hours and everything went great and he is now home and is the same little happy man he was before surgery. Man I wish I could bounce back as quickly after surgery as he did. Below are some pictures before and after the surgery.

Hoop Lake/5 Year Anniversary

Chad got a kick out of this sign can you guess why?



I know gross right but there is a story behind this fish! We were fishing and chad pulled this fish in and we were debating whether to throw it back when my dad showed us the fish without his eye. We all paused for a secound and then I said I wonder were the eye is well chad pulled up his fishing real and on the hook was the fishes eye. It was so gross chad started gagging and I was a little gaggy myself anyway this happened on our anniversary so at least we will have a way memorable moment!

If you can't tell Chad doesn't really like to hold fish!

We had a contest out on the boat and I caught 6 while chad caught a mere 5 fish!!!

This is our humble abod while camping!

This was a family trip/ 5 year anniversary trip nothing to exciting this year but sometimes not really doing anything but relaxing is perfect. I just want chad to know how much I love him and what a blast the last five years have been. We never have a dull moment in our house and you always keep me laughing. Thanks Honey!
