He's HOME!!!

We went to the airport at 11:00pm last night to welcome Scott home.

We made signs... Junie was tired of posing for pictures...

Look really closely and you'll see the 2 Scott's hugging.

We're really thankful to have him home!!!!!

So, Target had this really sweet coupon...

I used $250.00 in $1.00 coupons and I got 500 cans of baby food for $30.00 NO JOKE!! I went to 5 Targets!!!
Since Junie uses between 6-8 a day we are all set for quite a while!!!

Feeding June

Scott started feeding therapy and it went really well. He should be eating cheeseburgers in no time...

Swimming with Papa

I never knew growing up, but my dad doesnt really know how to swim. Scott didn't seem to notice either.

Playing with Papa

Feeding Papa like a baby. Playing Go Fish. Junie being crazy!

Jumping on Grandpa

Going to the D-Backs!!

Back to normal...

We're home!

Little Scott is home now and sleeping in his own bed after a bath to kill all those hospital germs. I'm so thankful to be home and he's doing a lot better. He had 3 negative C diff. tests and 2 negative roto virus and a bunch of other tests like E. Coli and still more that I am not familiar with. All negative. Because of his history of reoccurring C diff and because of his "unique" gut he is going to be on Flagyl for 10 days. He is well hydrated and he's eating better. (1/2 strength Elecare) They said they will probably never know exactly what this was. The GI doc reminded me that this could have been just a normal stomach bug that little June's body just couldn't handle like other kids. Whatever it was, it's on it's way OUT! I'm so thankful for the great doctors and nurses and the special care he was given. I'm thankful to God for ultimately healing him.
Here's Sissy and June having a little picnic.
Amelia led him around by his IV like a leash! (ouch!!)

See he's up to his old tricks!

Papa Arrived!!!

Thank you so much to all the family and friends who helped with Mini during all the craziness. I can't say thank you enough for all the love you have shown our family.
Papa arrived to save the day at 10:00pm and the kids were thrilled to see him!!

Junie getting skinny

He's "talking" on the phone to DAD.

Some old pictures...

Right before the airport a quick family
picture.
Then the kids playing in the rain.
Junie coloring on the counter. He can do whatever he wants when he's not feeling well.

Scotty's Field Trip To The Hospital

Hey Everyone. It's Mikele. I'm totally guest-blogging!

I just got back from the hospital and Katie asked me to update everybody. Scotty is in his own room sleeping soundly - he has the nicest nurses (who offered her everything from a chaplain to speech therapy) and he is on his third bag of IV fluids. They are almost certain that he has C. Diff, so he they were ordering the Flagyl for him as I was leaving. He hasn't had any diarrhea at all today and I don't think he's thrown up since last night. His poop tests will be hopefully back in the morning - both for C. Diff and Rotovirus - and for now he's on clear fluids only. Kristen (nice nurse) was even tracking down probiotics for him. They're not sure how long he'll be staying, but Katie is hopeful that once his electrolytes are back up, he'll be able to recover at home.

I have to back up now - for the pictures. We started out in the ER, where someone cleverly thought that cute aquatic animals painted on every available surface would make the never-ending wait for transport to come, less aggrivating.

Scotty was so sad about his IV, but once the fluids started really kicking in, he was back to his old self for a bit. He even ate two crackers and drank a bunch of orange Gatorade...

Click to see the video of him in action...

Finally, he was wheeled to his new room by a brand-new employee, who, as of last week, worked at Sally's Beauty Supply.

By the time we got there, he was sooo tired and done with all of it - all that would console him was his "blanke-ah," his new man doll and So You Think You Can Dance.

I've got their cell phone at this point, since it needed charging, so if anyone wants to chat...

Happy Birthday DAD!

Today is my dad's 65th Birthday. Check out my little sisters blog. We love you!!!
