something new!!! create a scrapbook

2008-09-30T00:42:00.000-07:00

I was at work one Saturday....and one of my clients had the cutest scrapbook....she had made it online and then sent it in to be published threw a company called Creative memories....i was very intrigued....so i think i am going to start doing my own.....u can buy the software threw the distributor and just make them on ur computer and send them in to be manufactured...or u can sign up as s consultant and get 30% off merchandise and make money too.... so i decided to join, so don't be surprised if i send u an email or invite to a get together....i will test it out..ill let u know how it goes...it was just 70$ for the start up kit witch included to software witch was and a kit well over 200$$ worth of stuff...(i used my birthday money..thankx mom and grandma) i have been wanting to do more scrapbooking, but have a hard time spending hours on a page and spending the $$$ too...whats cool with this, u can purchase paper, ribbon, buttons, and embellishments...but the cool thing with this...is you pay a couple of bucks for a button kit, or ribbon kit....and you can use them forever...im pretty excited...and printing the books is anywhere from 30 and up....i figured it would cost that much or more making a scrapbook....but with this u can make as many copies as u want...and it saves it so if ur book gets ruined u can just print another at a discounted price... im pretty stoked...ill play around with it and let u guys know how it goes...if ur interested...i have a generic website from the company, im thinking about upgrading it because u can see alot more as a consumer...maybe that will be what i do when i start making money from it....( because u have to pay monthly for the upgraded site ) please let me know if ur interested.....

2008-09-24T01:39:00.000-07:00

wow does time fly!!! it just seames like yesterday when korbyn was born...our little miricle baby!!! He is now 6 months and healthy as ever....i was looking threw old pics and figured i should go threw his little life and share some of my 1st memories of my little man....it is re....he is so big and so much fun....it is hard to think he started off so little...with so many chalenges...but he beat the odds....

korbyn Davis Foster
Born March 13, 2008
10:05pm
2lbs 7oz
15 inches long
Born at 27 weeks
13 weeks early

when korbyn was born... he was on the c.p.a.p for a few weeks... i hated it because i rarely got to see his face......

we were aloud to put our hands in and touch him & do his cares for him every 3 hours...but couldnt hold him yet.....

we were lucky!!!aunt jodi came to visit durring care time...so they removed the c.p.a.p. to check all my wires.... (i remember crying the 1st time i saw this photo....i hadnt seen korbyns face in over a week...& felt bad...i couldnt remember what he looked like)

look at my little hand it barely fits around the tip of daddys finger!!!!!

My handsome little guy!!!! look how tinny and delicate he looks.....

i remember i couldnt get over how tinny his hands and feet were....it was amazeing he had finger and toe prints...i was amazed at how perfect his little body was even being that early...@ 27 weeks....

daddy loved comming to the hospital and holding me....we did alot of kangeroo care...that is where i layed skin to skin, it kept me warm and go to listen to daddys heart...it was my favorite thing in the whole world....besides laying on mommy....

our 1st official family picture...we finaly got to hold korbyn after he was 4 weeks old...it was amazeing to put this tinny little body on my chest....I loved it when he would look up at me, with his tinny little eyes...i spent many days, hours and hours with korbyn on my chest... i would hold him till the nurses sugessted me putting him back...

Daddy would come up after work and take naps with me everyday!!!

korbyn finaly got big enough...one of the volentears made a tinny beanny for him...its amazeing when i see it now...to think it actually fit..his head was no bigger than a racquet ball...

korbyn's 1st easter.... we still couldnt dress him yet...his skin was still to thin and he had to manny wires...but i found this bunny and after washing it 10 times...i felt comfortable bringing ti up to him....i still have it...the bunny was as big as him...now the bunny looks so small...its hard to believe he was the same size...

I loved holding my little man...he is my world!!!!

some days korbyn was to sick to be held...so insted i would let him hold my hand...and sing lullabys to him...he loved it...his heart rate would level out and he would start breathing better...he knew his mama was there..

the 1st few months i called him my little bird...he looked like a bird that came to soon...with the little nests the n.i.c.u. nurses wold make to make him feel commfy and secure...

so many wires....korbyn was always tugging on his wires...this one was his p.i.c. line...it went from his wrist down into his heart... this was a big no no, but was his favorite one to pull on...

Korbyns 1st official bath...in a tupperware tub!!!! Mommy got to watch and help a little...I loved my 1st bath, i fell right to sleep when nurse Marcy put me into the warm water....I recognized this sensation...it wasnt that long ago i was in mommys warm belly...

my little bird, after his bath...he didnt even cry..to this day..he still loves his baths...it helps him relax and get ready for bed...

I was so excited...they finaly o.k.ed us to dress Korbyn... this outfit is for a micro preemie and is still big on him...i have tis outfit still, its crazy to think it was once to big...

Korbyn is getting so big and hes facial features were changeing so much....

what a sweet boy.... he had a feeding tube in him...they didnt start feeding him till 34 weeks by mouth...before 34 they were just pumping my breast milk into his tummy...

This is korbyns board...he had goals he had to reach...ang nurses and grandparents would leave notes...it was the only way i got to nest for the 1st 3 months...so i was constantly dusting and moveing things around...and folding his clothes....

Korbyn finaly was big enough to move out of his incubator and get an open crib...this ment he was strong enough to keep his own temprature....we were so happy....just one more step closer to getting to come home....

This was one of the corners that me and jeremy lived threwout korbyns n.i.c.u. stay...it was actually the biggest of the 3 spots they moved him...he is in the continueing care nursery here...there was 2 babies to every pod here...about 8 babies per room, but the rooms were alot bigger...we were seperated by a curtain...only had room for one comfy recliner and a hard wood chair....in the regualr n.i.c.u. pods...their were 4 babies to every pod...and 16 babies per room, all seperated by curtians... tight quarters...korbyn go to go home shortly after this...i dont have the pics downloaded to this comp...of his departure...or 2nd hospital trip...the really scarry one...

korbyns 3rd hospital stay...poor abay was so sick...he had a seizure again and the put an i.v. in, a feeding tube, and a cathiter....what a trooper...

Grandma Ding would come to the hospital every morning and take over...while korbyn was readmitted...he had to be held all the time.. i was exausted so it was so nice to have someone come in and help, so i could sleep.....All of his Grandmas were life savers....we coulfnt of done it without u guys and all of ur support!!!!

Korbyn after he started feeling alot better...even in the hospital he was a bappy boy...

yeah we fianlly got to go home...Grandma Ding would give me baths every night...Got me into that rutine...mom had to take over once grandma went back to china...

Aunt Sue loves this little boy...i have never seen sue and laurent like any kids let alone a baby....he is a special boy that has soften alot of peoples hearts...

Labor day...korbyn loves water...so i decided to take him in...he wasnt a big fan of the cold water and everyone splashing...we were not in to long at all...but all of his cousins were so excited baby korbyn was getting in the water too....

What a happy little boy!!!! Every morning...He wakes up so happy and wants smile and tell me stories... he is so cute....i love this boy!!!!

Daddy helping me go poo poo on the potty... it was something Grandma ding started when she was here...korbyn was constipated at the time and it was the only way he would scuccessfully go...so 4 times a day or more we spent holding him and grunting with him...All of his aunts and cousins got a kick out of it and he always had a crowd when he was on the potty...maybe he will have cycalogical problems from it later... we did it for about 4 weeks after she left...but really havent been to successful lately...maybe we will potty train him when he can actually get to the potty him self....for now he isnt constapated anymore...so when he starts grunting....He goes with out warnning...Sorry to disapoint u gramdma....

Korbyn had become a blankie boy...he wont take a apacifire..but he will take a blankie...its the funniest thing...he just munches on it....it stops him from crying so why no....he loves his blankies...

his cousins love him so much...expecially Hailey, Baily, and Brooklyn....Hailey is so funny....i was telling her that korbyn came out of my tummy early....and what does she say, "Korbyn came out of ur tummy early, because he wanted to see how beautiful i am.." i get a kick out of my nices and nephews...they are all so dang cute and special to me in their own way...Even my 16 yr old neice Tobie...Its amazeing to me that she is a young lady...i am so lucky for such a great family!!!

My favorit thing still is when he fall asleep onmy chest...it is the sweetest thing in the whole world...

I love that he wakes up so happy...i use to have a hard time getting up, and would even be kinda grumpy in the morning...But when u wake up to this, how can you be grumpy...What a sweetheart!!!!

Korbyn is getting so dang big and funner and funner everyday...i enjoy every moment i spend with him...watching him grow and learn new things... He is amazeing....And i am never board!!!

The two loves of my life....I am so lucky to have these to guys in my life...i dont know what i would so without them....they are amazeing and keep me going... I can not imagine my life with out them....My little boy is growing so fast, im trying to enjoy and cherish every moment of it... They are my everything.....I love my life!!!

Sorry so manny pictures....threre still so many i didnt share...but i hope this caught you up on what our last six months have been like....We have a amazeing son to show for it...

korbyn is off of Oxygen!!!!

2008-09-24T00:18:00.000-07:00

What a cute little man...he loves his bumbo..thankx aunt Jodi!!! What a handsome man without oxygen!!!!

i can not believe i have not shared this exciting news sooner....I have been pretty busy the last few weeks... if u didn't know Jodi and troy went to Beijing for the paraolympics...Jodi and troy were wanting to go, and hadn't found a babysitter for their two adorable kiddos, Brooklyn and Brigham...So i volunteered....It was defiantly interesting having three kids, especially with korbyn being so demanding and use to having his mommy all the time... But i did awesome... Jodi's kids were so good...Brooklyn was such a big helper...she loved holding korbyn and even got him to go to sleep one day as i made lunch for all the kids...i was impressed, and Brooklyn felt like such a big girl...it was the cutest thing ever... Brigham is a good kid all the time... i was amazed, Jodi told me he likes xgames, but i really didn't know how much he was into it... i figured it out one day... Jodi had tivo-ed it for him, and i happened to turn it on for him... he sat on the couch for an hour just in awe...then he found his skateboard and started doing tricks... he is amazing for a 2 year old...Jodi, i think this kids going to go pro...the cutest thing was when he would do a trick he wanted me to watch and then when he was done he would say, "show mommy" or "show daddy.." They both missed their mom and dad a ton...and it was so cute when jodi got home...her kids just ran circles around her and wouldn't leave her side...my trick was to keep them busy so they wouldn't miss mommy and daddy to much and get to sad...we played games, visited aunt Laura, went to the water park, ran threw the sprinklers almost everyday, had art time, watched Dora,and had a few play dates with my neighbors kiddos....we had a blast...thank you Jodi for sharing ur kids with me...i was so sad i couldn't find my camera while they were staying with us...there were a few times, i could of caught some good shots...

So as u know i am pretty dang excited for this to Finlay happen...korbyn has been off oxygen since September 12th...i wasn't sure when this day would come... it is so nice to not have to lug around the annoying tank.... we will not miss those days!!!! I had a doctors appt...with his pulmanologist (lung doctor) on sept 2nd...they said they would send home a pulse oxsimiter to do a study, of korbyns breathing threw the night...i was so excited, but nervous at the same time...what if he doesn't pass...???how long will we have this oxygen leash???? we got the device to do the test on the 4th....and they picked it up bright and early on the 5th...for the next 7 days i had to anticipate the answer...i called the doctors office like 3 times to see if the doctor had read the readings...Finlay Friday September 12th on my way to the water park...i decided to call again...i was so Happy and excited when his nurse said KORBYN PASSED!!!!! it was amazing...we got to go to the water park without oxygen...thank you guys for praying for my little man...they have been answered...thank u guys for all of ur support....

Korbyn never had his oxygen in his nose...i always had to fix it....

Sleeping peaceful baby!!!

Korbyn doing his oxygen test!!!

my handsome man!!!!

2008-09-01T23:25:00.000-07:00

I envy a woman that can give birth and bounce right back to their same old self (laura my beautiful siter-in-law being one)....Well for me that was not the case... I shouldnt even blame it on the pregnancy... i didnt go full term but, i did gain quite a bit in the 6 months that i was pregnant... but i actually gained most of the weight while korbyn was in the hospital....

while korbyn was in and out of the hospital for the first 4 months of his life (march- july), i put on quite a few pounds... i think it was a combination of things living in his hospital room, nervous snacking, hormones, and eating fast food.. i just wanted to be with korbyn while he was in the hospital...1st i felt he needed me, 2nd i didnt trust the nurses and staff (long story), and 3rd as a new mother i couldn't bare to leave my baby... so i pretty much lived there with him...i slept, showered, and ate... i am very grateful... i have a very loving family, that would bring meals, and visit, and try to get me to go on walks, just to catch a breath of fresh air...i especially want to thank my mother-in-law june... i am so blessed to have her.... she came and visited at least once, sometimes twice a day the whole time korbyn was there...she even would wash my clothes and bring me new ones... my mom was great too...i honestly am so grateful for you and dad coming buy and checking up on us...(and feeding me too) i honestly lived there with korbyn and would not leave his side, unless the doctors had to preform a procedure, that i couldnt be there for....

i am so grateful to have such a supportive and strong husband.. he put up with my craziness threw it all... he also stayed at the hospital with korbyn and I... i dont know how we did it but we did... we would squeeze onto a hospital cott or even share a fold out chair...pretty pathetic, but we did it....i sometimes would squeeze into korbyns hospital crib and sleep with him....(until the doctors and nurses kicked me out of his crib....when they did i was pretty livid)i was such an emotional wreck, but jeremy was so strong and would keep me optimistic when i would have doubts....and would comfort me when i was upset....i am so lucky to have such a great husband...

so now that korbyn is doing so good... i have time to do things for myself... i am so not use to the extra weight... it doesn't make me feel comfortable in my skin... so now me and my sister dustie are going to start working on our bodies... as a women we need to feel the confidence... its amazing what shedding a few pounds can do for your self esteem....so we are going to start out just walking....and doing cardio work out videos...maybe once korbyn is old enough i will join a gym, but for now we are going to do things we can do with our kids.... so if anyone is feeling like they want to join us... i think exercise is great for everyone... we are going to start walking at 9 am at superstition springs...(dusties kids dont all go to school till that time..) i think i will be fun... i have been asking advice on how to burn calories from one of my co-workers and her daughter....(who actually won biggest looser this year...) they both told me to not over exert ur body, (as betty-sue said, just walk to china), and mix things up...so who ever wants to join just give me a holla... and any other ideas please let me know...

busy and sick

2008-08-28T10:42:00.000-07:00

( korbyn with his oxygen)

wow this week has gone by so fast.... we have been pretty busy..... jeremy's aunts are here from new york and we have been going going going!!! but they leave today :( .. hopefully we can go and visit them sometime this year... we can defiantly use a vacation....

i felt so bad.. last Thursday i woke up with a sore throat, and didn't think anything about it... late that afternoon i started with a runny nose.... i figured it was allergies... but later that night i had a full blown fever of 101.8 and had really bad cold sweats... what do u do when ur sick and a mom??? its not like there is a substitute mom that fills in ur place... i still had to be mom and try not to get my poor baby sick.... so i was constantly washing my hands and hand sanitiser has been my best friend for a while but i had to constantly reapplying, hoping it would zap the germs....

even with all my efforts to try and prevent korbyn from getting sick... he is sick.... poor baby is just full of snot... and man he hates getting his nose sucked out... i think he is going to hate the color teal.. because any time he even sees the bulb seirenge she starts to scream... poor baby... i feel so bad, last thing i wanted was to get him sick... oh and on top of it... i took him to the doctors on Monday and they gave him one of his immunizations..( korbyn is allergic to a few meds so they give them to him one at a time....) poor baby.... he got a fever just from the dang shot.... don't we all love our doctors...

on another note... we go to korbyns pulmanologist (lung doctor im not sure if i spelt that right)on the 2nd.... there is a possibility of them getting rid of his oxygen....i am so excited, but i dont want to get my hopes to high... i don't want to be disappointed, if he needs it he needs it... i hate the dang thing because its like a leash, we only can go so far away from the oxygen tank, without having to move the tank or disconnect.....man wouldn't that be nice to go out and not have to lug around his oxygen and his apnea monitor... i don't know how i do it every time i go anywhere i have to lug, korbyn and car seat, oxygen, apnea monitor, diaper bag/purse, and depending on how long breast pump... cant wait to get rid of some of my gear... so lets just all pray that is lungs are Strong enough to get rid of his oxygen....

but despite everything im just grateful he is doing good.... my little man is a trooper.... i will have so many stories to share with him.... i love being a mom... it is the most wonderful thing in the world....

( korbyn at doctors appt)

wow.... 2 hrs later....

2008-08-18T00:49:00.000-07:00

o-my-gosh.... i have been messing around on the blog for 2 hour now... i cant believe it... it just sucks u in... it is amazing how many people have it... no wonder all of my sisters are addicted & have been begging me to start one...

i just wanted to say hi to so many people i have not seen in so long... i have defiantly been living a different lifestyle for the past 5 years..... wow does time fly... but man does having a baby change ur life.... especially having a micro preemie baby!!!!( that's what they call 27 weeker's) we have been humbled so many times with our miracle baby and so many blessings have been answered... i am indeed thankful...

me and Jeremy have been together for the past 4 and a 1/2 years & have been married 2 years and 5 months... in the last year i have watched jeremy turn into a totally different man... A better man... he was a smoker of 9 years, and a partier... but in the last year he has slowly given up his bad habits, & it really has been a blessing in disguise... Jeremy has quit smoking almost 10 months, gave up drinking 5 months... and now has been taking the missionary discussions for 3 weeks... i am so proud of my husband....

when i met Jeremy... the church was not important to me... i really wasn't planning on ever having it be apart of my life and promised Jeremy i would never force it on him... we lived a different lifestyle...and Sundays was our only day off together... forget 3 hours in church... never had any problems with the church, just had other priority's... having what we called fun....going out on the weekends and waking up with the worst headache and sleeping in the next day.... what fun is that...

well while korbyn was sick....i mean really sick..... i was more scared at this point than just having a preemie baby... i really didn't think he would make it threw the night... my dad & my brother in-law Chris preformed a priesthood blessing... after the blessing it was amazing.... the whole room just felt peaceful... at that point we knew he would be alright... After that night Jeremy asked me what my dad did... ???what was a blessing...??? and then lead into questions about the church...??? it opened the doors to him and he wanted to know more about the church????

the last 3 weeks we have been meeting with missionary's.... Jeremy has been taking the discussions.... he has been really accepting... has even been reading the scriptures the missionary's have given him.... and even reading more.... he has asked me cute questions like, how do u pray????, who r the laminites and nephites??? were they the native Americans that lived in America when the mayflower came to the new world???? it has been a great blessing for me too, because i get to learn more about the church... i am surprised at how much i actually know.... i did listen in church an retain some knowledge... i am excited for him to learn more.... My biggest fear is all of his friends are not members and live a different lifestyle & most of my closer ones that i have had party too...( he really hasn't seen them to much since korbyn has been born) so it is nice to see old friends that are living the right way and open some doors to friends that do the right things... so that he wont be tempted to go back to our old ways.... because i know the church is true and i want it to be apart of my family.....so please forgive me for being a bad friend and not coming around....i just felt we had nothing in common, and like i said i had other priority's... i miss u all and hope to hear from u soon......

we r so proud!!!

2008-08-14T16:49:00.000-07:00

kinda gross i know.... grandma sunny (or oma grandma in German) is crazy!!!! korbyn was having a hard time going poop... so oma decided to let korbyn go potty with his diaper off and i worked.... after doing it a few times, he stopped pooping with his diaper on.... he would sit and grunt and grunt until u took his diaper off... once off with in a few minutes...korbyn would leave us a big stinky surprise.... so Oma was determined that korbyn was going to be easy to potty train... we all laughed at the idea... he cant even sit up on his own let alone sit on a potty.... Oma sunny is crazy....!!!!

Well Oma was determined to at least try so she went out and bought a potty chair the next day.... and she was so proud..... Oma would put korbyn on the potty and hold him and start grunting with korbyn....she would grunt.....then he would grunt..... (it was the funniest thing to see) but, to our amazement korbyn would go poop on the potty... we really still thought t was just by coincidence that he went when she set him on...he would go...our whole family was in aweee...every time the family is over.... they want to see if korbyn can really go potty on the potty chair...

its crazy...It has been over 5 weeks since we have started this potty chair business.. and i think i have only changes 2 dirty diapers... one we were out at a doctors appointment and i didn't have the potty chair and he grunted for a few hours before he went... another time i gave him some milk of magnesium (a laxative) ...i think i gave him a bit to much because boy did he go.... and he couldn't control it... So i am proud to say korbyn is potty trained !!!!(well pooping anyways....) which makes it nice to just have to change wet diapers.... who would of ever thought... Grandma starr says korbyn has us potty trained... because he just has to start grunting and we have him on the potty.... he is still to young to tell us so we take grunting as our sign....

ok im an so new to this

2008-08-10T15:06:00.001-07:00

wow... mommy life is busy...... but i have returned...

anyways.... korbyn is doing alot better... we have been threw alot of ups and downs with this little dude.... but i am sure we are on the road to recovery... he now weighs almost 15lbs... he has come a long long way from 2lbs 7oz.... we love this little guy and we call him our miracle baby, or even our million dollar baby.... (with all of his hospital stays his bills have way exceeded a million dollars....thank goodness we have insurance or oh my goodness.....but still we have had 2 pay quite a bit, but not even close to how much insurance has covered........)

Korbyn is now at a fun little age... he is 5 months old from when he was born but really only about 2 months old term, or gestational age..... he is so dang cute and smart... he smiles at me when i talk 2 him, and it is amazing how he totally recognizes me.... he gets so excited when i pick him up....(forget it this baby is so spoiled, he doesn't really understand being put down....) I need to start weening him of me a bit... (but in the hospital his neurologist told us not to let him stress out, or cry 2 much.... so i just hold him all the time....) im really not complaining, because to tell u the truth.... i love having him in my arms and love it when he gazes at me and looks into my eyes.... its the sweetest thing in the whole wide world.... its amazing how these babys can just make you melt..... i love my new family and i love being a mom....i am so blessed to have this baby, its amazing how much he as changed our lives.... for the better... he has made us stronger.....

( these pictures i took from jodidavisphotography.com.......my sister-in-law is a amazing photographer and i was privileged 2 have her take our pictures...) i hope she doesnt mind me taking pictures from her blog.... i need 2 find my attachments 2 my camera so i can post ones that i have taken... i hope u enjoy.... jodi is amazing and we love and appreciate her... if u even need to get pictures taken you should consider her... defiantly check out her blog...

Hello everyone!!!

2008-08-08T13:08:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone!!! i have now entered the blogging world..for months i have watched and visited my sisters and sister-in-laws blogs.... now that i have a little more time on my hands.... i figured i should join the blogging frenzy....

The last five months of my life have been a trial... but defiantly rewarding.... i was pregnant with a little boy who decided it was time to come to this world at 27 weeks, weighing 2 lbs and 7 oz.... man was i ever scared, we spent 9 weeks in the hospital with korbyn.... the great thing about the hospital was, i really got to know him, and how to care for him before i go to bring him home.... (i didn't just have a baby like most and get to bring him home and try to figure out what a shock being a mommy full time was) i kinda was eased into the mommy thing... well when he finally came home it still was a shocker...how much work being a mommy really was....holly hanna.... korbyn is hungry every 2-3 hours.... forget sleeping!!!! (between pumping milk, feeding korbyn, trying to remember what med. he got last, and comforting my baby..) for the first month or so felt like a walking zombie...

well being at home didn't last long.... korbyn started having seizures... (due to being premature) we were back in the hospital after a few weeks... the evaluated ed korbyn for a few days and we were getting ready for discharge, when they threw a new med into the mix.... (which i had a bad feeling about to begin with) with in an hour of taking the med. he stared to wheeze, i called the nurse in and she said he looked fine... 3 hors later i had to wake him to eat, for korbyn that defiantly wasn't normal, he wakes on the dot 2-3 hours.... so i notified the nurse... feeding him was quite the chore since he was so lethargic... i told the nurse that tooo....( i felt bad that poor nurse, probably thought i was so annoying..) well the next time it was time for korbyn 2 eat i had to wake him, but this time he looked pale and was cold tot he touch... i called the nurse again... ans she said maybe it was because the ac... ( i knew it wasn't because i had 2 blankets on him and i didnt have the ac on to high) i asked if she would take his temp... so she went and got te thermometer and took a rectal (the most accurate temp..) he was cold 78 degrees... she rushed out and got warm blankets and called the doc... i noticed his ribs were being sucked in every time he would take a breath and his head was bobbing around with the breaths... i know something was really wrong... i called the nurse again.. right when she walked in, korbyn stopped breathing and they had to bag him to resuscitate him... he still wasn't responding... i was so scarred... i felt so helpless & felt as if i should of asked for a doctor sooner... korbyns system shut down... they started throwing all of our belongings into the hall way... and the alerted the hospital that there was a code blue, in our room.... with in a few minutes our tinny room had 15 people in working on our tinny baby... i lost it.... i didnt know what was going to happen and have never been so afraid in my whole life...

the doctors did all that they could do in the peeds floor and haled korbyn to the picu..( pediatric intensive care unit) for a week they pumped drugs into my little mad, put him in a induced coma, and feed him over 11 Ivy's ...into a line that they put in his neck that went straight to his heart... they also placed him on a ventilator and a nebulizer..the first few days in the picu.. he wasnt stable... i didnt sleep either... i just watched his monitors and startled every time an alarm would go off... the first few days they were resuscitating him every 3 hours... witch was awful to watch... i stayed by his side and never left the hospital room.. i felt it was all i could do, watch the nurses and make sure no mistakes were made... ( oh i left this part out... on the peeds floor they mixed up his meds a few times... it really made me doubt the nurses capabilities) on the 3rd day the docs opted for a blood transfusion to help him with his white and red blood cells and the oxygen levels in his blood... it was scary knowing that we had gotten to this point... in the mean time dad and chris cam in and gave korbyn a blessing... and withing the next day or so there was s huge turn around.... korbyn gradually got better.. he had to learn hot to eat & be weened to a lower amount of oxygen...

to be continued......

well korbyn is waking from his nap so... i will continue my long story when i get another chance....
