Mylee Update....

We finally got the results back of Mylee's EEG. Took long enough, I know! The waiting was very frustrating. Anyway, her results came back as normal. (Big sigh of relief!) The doctor says her passing out was probably a result of a hot shower and an empty stomach. It sounds weird but he says it is actually a pretty common occurrence for thin girls between the ages of 8-18. So we are all hoping that is all it was and that it never ever ever happens again. I don't think any of our hearts could handle that again! We are just so thankful that our Mylee is well. We are also so thankful for all the friends and family we had supporting Mylee. We really appreciate it. Love to all!

Mylee Jade

Some of you know what has been going on with our sweet Mylee and some don't so I figure this is the best way to keep all of our out of town family and friends updated. On Wednesday Mylee woke up like any other morning. Shane and I were still in bed, she came in our room and said she was getting in the shower in our room. So I got up and started it for her and got back in bed. When she came out of the shower she was looking really pale and she said her stomach hurt really bad. So we asked her if she had to throw up or something. Right when we asked her that she opened her mouth and made a weird sound like she was gasping for breath or something. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she collapsed. It was by far the scariest thing that we have ever seen in our life's. We jumped out of bed and went to her. She wasn't breathing. Shane picked her up and layed her flat. He lifted her chin to see if anything was blocking her airway and when he did she started breathing and woke up. She was out for about 45 seconds, although it seemed like it was 5 minuets!!! When she came to she didn't remember anything past her stepping out of the shower and saying her stomach hurt. She seemed fine, a little dazed but fine. So we called Shane's parents to come watch the little girls and I called the pediatrician. He wanted to see her right away. We drove up to Show Low. He examined her and said she seemed OK. He said she may have collapsed from a combination of an empty stomach and hot shower, but since that was her normal routine and because she had stopped breathing which was odd, he wanted some tests done. He sent us over to the Hospital for an EKG and an EEG. They got us right in for the EKG but they had to schedule for the EEG. She gets that done tomorrow. Her EKG came back normal. We were relieved, but are still very nervous for her EEG tomorrow. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks so much for all the prayers. We really appreciate it. This whole thing has been so scary! Mylee is doing good though. She seems fine, she is her happy bubbly self. The doctor didn't want her going to school until we knew what happened with her so she has been a little bored at home with boring mom but she is doing good. Wish us luck, and keep the prayers coming. We love our Mylee Jade!
Love, Joanna

Just stuff

I love my girls, I love the funny things they say, I love how they can make me smile no matter what!

Yesterday while Mylee was playing Mario Cart on the wii she kept getting bombed or smashed or blown up or something by "Koopa Troopa" So as she is choosing the guy she wants for her next "battle" she picked "Koopa Troopa" and she says, "You know what they say, If ya can't beat em be em!" I let out at little chuckle and said, "Who says that?" And she replies, "I do!" Gotta love it!

Today The girls were watching Ariel, their all time favorite princess movie. At the end of the movie when Prince Eric and Ariel kiss, Avah shouts, "EWWW they are rubbing lips!!"

Then also today Riah walks up to me out of no where and says, "Mom did you know that if you kiss a prince you will have babies?"

So even though I am terribly sick and was absolutely dreading today because lets face it taking care of 3 sassy, spunky, energetic little girls and being sick is never easy I still had a blast listening and watching them today. I love my little beauties!:)

Going Back to School.....

So lately I have been thinking a lot about my life and what I want to accomplish during it. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I think I still do! So instead of just thinking about it I decided to JUST DO IT!!! I need to get off my booty and just do it! So that is what I am going to do! I am going to start my classes in the Fall. I am nervous! I haven't been inside a classroom since I was 18! YIKES! But, I am very excited. I will just do part time school for now until Riah and Avah get into school then I will go full time. Anyway, I just wanted to share my exciting news with all of you!:) This is going to be all very new to me but it will be an adventure and I love adventures!:)
