Before this day, he would take a few steps here and there and cruise along the furniture. But on his birthday, he decided he was done with crawling and started to walk....all of the time! We were so excited and proud of him! Hailee was especially excited, now she had someone who she could really chase around!

(Our condo was on Mission Bay) The weather was absolutely PERFECT for flying kites! You would have thought that we were on some kind of roller coaster, or at a comedy club for how much we were LAUGHING as we flew these kites! I wish I would have gotten a picture, but there were hundreds of birds in large groups flying by really low and we kept trying to hit them. My Dad was the lucky one and nailed one of the birds! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640958806162097762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQlXv_6_BP2JkbI0muFASE2tvKU7fAwJLFB3xXBROWtU_mAaRQrDBdVlpM6eJ450JS7APMqKkSv7TnLIgD5BU6I2MEL98QOc9WfqswLPKQi8Qvtf9cIwaIS2IR-4AH_wolJYpjj4abiVs/s320/April+23+to+25+2011+%252825%2529.JPG" /><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u></span>

Neither of us had done it, but it sounded like so much fun! It was late at night, and we were just throwing an idea around, a little jokingly, but also somewhat serious, how fun it would be to just pick up and head out to Julian to go hiking! Well, Friday morning my Mom called and asked me how serious I really was about going. I told her I was absolute serious! She said, "Good! 'Cuz at about 1am I booked a house for the entire weekend up there!"</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">I was so excited! I called Gregg and told him I would be gone all weekend. (He had to work.) I packed up the car and loaded up the kids, at at about 10pm (I know...LATE start....but Friday was a crazy busy day for the both of us!) I met up with my parents and then we made the 1.5 hour drive to Julian.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">My Mom had found an awesome 3200 sq. ft. home for the weekend! However, when we pulled up, just before midnight, it middle of now where, I was completely freaking out!

He was definitely not a fan of it either! </span><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9yciuoJ6LSXxpPBEi8YPmhqkImO76ir5boUPtvLnCQEL-zmcGi8oZBZdVUkr3lUIek8NkaDLd4qg4LPzUFp4P3BmrubWPai_lOqQNzX_0fhuB7-IgcGxleGB1ZfYtA4CPUTcYQ6CHHOQ/s1600/IMG_1264.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596795408261837826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9yciuoJ6LSXxpPBEi8YPmhqkImO76ir5boUPtvLnCQEL-zmcGi8oZBZdVUkr3lUIek8NkaDLd4qg4LPzUFp4P3BmrubWPai_lOqQNzX_0fhuB7-IgcGxleGB1ZfYtA4CPUTcYQ6CHHOQ/s320/IMG_1264.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> On Sunday, my Mom and I took the kids into town to do some shopping and sigh seeing.

Did I really only get 4 1/2 hours of sleep and now I am up for the day? I threw my clothes on, put on a minimal amount of makeup (come on...I know it's early...but I'm not going out of the house feeling naked lol) and brushed my teeth. We loaded up the car and then Gregg went upstairs to get Hailee and carried her out to the car, pj's and all. We were hoping she would fall back asleep in the car, but she didn't. I think she was pretty confused to what was going on.</span> <br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">We arrived at CHOC Hospital a few minutes before 6am, valet parked our car, and walked across the street to the outpatient center. As we were walking, I was looking up at all of the hospital windows wondering who else was awake, how many kids are there, and then I was thinking of those who will never be leaving. I looked at Hailee and truly felt blessed (I always feel so blessed to have such amazing children) but I felt extremely blessed knowing that we would be leaving the hospital the same day.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">We checked in, and then were taken to her room. She was very nervous, and wouldn't even let the nurse put on her wrist band. They said its okay, and they will take care of everything after the Versed is in her body.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">The pink cup of medicine came, and Hailee did not want to take it. I told her it was either that medicine or a shot, and she instantly gulped down the medicine. (Amazing how well that worked). With in 15 minutes Gregg and I were laughing hysterically! She became the silliest little girl ever! She saw her Dora flip flops on her feet and took them off and then started having them sing and dance to each other! She was saying the funniest little things! Once the medicine was in her, we were able to go back with her to the "operating room." The anesthesiologist put her under anesthesia, and we were able to stay with her until she was completely asleep, which only took about 30 seconds. </span></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595237044829793250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjptz7sgQsaH0_oIyhdcg2dT_agGRiytLrImKnI1Ufc-E0FLZTCXWWh10Ucx9vtRtyV5xBQzJFDd4HKKS44MbXmM6ZQdvxWhRqrXbtNUMh0s0oyvZaL75iLKhn46JqSgYyZGrsYQLPUXmI/s320/IMG_1305.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595237055039138098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkWyID77V8y5p9vwVj1sAB116phJbIbedkke8zbfvqhdxrdyUkFNTHaFfbesMbhJbbgsUk_ZE130Ksj3qZ4fpyApjpmaYMF0VJMg3AKcZHH2Bn-82g77gdWgDsdQyNVAxESEa8FAQk3CQ/s320/IMG_1307.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595237048096235954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF4cNtrSwUX6TKoaiaeIpArI2vdkcgee2P8o5Tzjkl7rk6rShYg-HFQ_XU5WakkA1EdBm1hthEBs9wKS-SLnhAuSze4zp8CkgGBNtgWSOHT4ZGu-15X-VMTAXEJhK8JKzMGNPxxxBQvxY/s320/IMG_1306.JPG" /> <br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">We were taken to the waiting room, and about 20 or so minutes later, the doctor came out with the pictures that were taken as they did the small intestine biopsy. Everything to the eye looked normal, but nothing can be determined until the biopsy comes back next week. The doctor said that there was something else that she discovered; a hiatal hernia. I had never heard of this, so of course, she explained. What it is: a portion of the stomach protrudes upward into the chest, through an opening in the diaphragm. She ended up doing an esophagus biopsy too to see if any damage has been done. If there has, she will be put on reflux medicine.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">We were then taken back to the recovery room, and sat next to Hailee for at least 45 minutes while we were waiting for her to wake up. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595237066176004578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPdtwJOnuWuxpYY-VQFiqL6HQasJxv4DsfmLQWd-7kbIX7Xk4ewvg6B58MwrinEoVsV_EAEZRtU8YEooVS8q4HfmXAsk7F0zkMiWpGWXHRQknZQWMLbbIEFkFvCQGFNrd3iQdbK6k__AY/s320/IMG_1310.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595237061390693154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2w_dBtLDx0Of1klai99qSETBEzDTh5NKjw7-MVHumDB1b30Qt0PI2qpQByWfb2KLcu7ekb62OLOCWyeL3wUFYzqqxZCEChcIsP8eqyHZ7f7ksLCDGsrdNp8JlTSaIC-xNx8TJ97Rq9DY/s320/IMG_1308.JPG" /></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Once she woke up, she ripped the oxygen tube out of her nose and then started taking the tape off her hand to take her IV out. She was so ready to leave! She was extremely emotional, which they warned us would happen once the versed and anesthesia wore off. About an hour later, we were discharged and on our way back to Grandma and Grandpas!</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">We are so proud of what a brave girl Hailee is. It is really heart breaking to see such a young child to have to go through such scary things. I know this doesn't compare to what some people have to go through with their children, but this is alot for her, and for us. I pray that nothing serious like this has to be done again. But we are so truly blessed that we have been able to take the right steps and figure out what was causinh her pain, and even more blessed, its just a simple diet change. </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Now that we have been back, she only remembers bits and pieces of this morning, but overall, has no clue what went on. Thank goodness! We are sure proud of her and love her so much!</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Now, while we were gone, Grandma and Grandpa babysat Jake for us. He decided he needed to wake up at 5:30am! (So sorry!) Grandpa went and got him while Grandma made him a bottle. Grandpa rocked him, watched tv, tried getting him back to sleep, but I guess Jake was ready to be up for the day! That stinker! LOL. I know that Jake had alot of fun with them. He really loves them! Thank you Mom and Dad for taking care of Jake for us!</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I have been horrible at updates, but I am trying to be better....</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595239332853661362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_lUOEOy74fI9j6I_73wd3Sl9sU98_Xv2kHlq6ci3iaLmCTJqK9Il-ggWUryB67HahhQk9yyJQ9Y14rrJSRIEuIu-TDZ9s7pBSylBXmPRgr6poubxu-DyC_5tvqCdnsN8TOfCsDtzpRc/s320/IMG_1293.JPG" /></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Jake is now 11 MONTHS!!! He will be turning ONE on the 23rd of this month! He is our VERY, EXTREMELY, ACTIVE and BUSY child! He is into EVERYTHING! It's alot of work, but so much fun. It is so fun seeing what his little personality is developing into! He has been trying so hard to get "walking down". He can walk about 1/2 way across a room now. Yeah! It is so fun to see him learn! He also loves to color/draw with Hailee. I was so amazed the first time when I saw him pick up a marker (about a month ago) and scribbling it on a piece of paper.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">He is also a great eater and sleeper! He wears 12 month clothes, size 3 1/2 for shoes, and I think he is 22 lbs. He's loves playing with balls, cars, anything that Hailee has, and LOVES being outside. We took the kids to the pool last week and he wanted to jump right into the water. It was hard getting him out of it! Such a water lover just like his sissy! He loves giving kisses and hugs and has a smile that just melts your heart. His laugh is so contagious and his countenace is so sweet and pure. He is such a blessing in our family and we love him so much.</span></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995475930835414049.post-69087333516733190152011-03-29T22:11:00.000-07:002011-03-29T22:48:41.032-07:00Our Life<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-family: arial;" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6cGTVB29VgK5D6dTJn_SN8yN42WYShQNqOwUVSG8ajUzpW21BGDXj1du_Cc2d75bs6kNkX57yEaJg4CiImevMGkaqs5GUszYhf3f80yLzNMivIZH0AERIxX6jupn53JQISphSOBFuAL0/s1600/IMG_1131.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6cGTVB29VgK5D6dTJn_SN8yN42WYShQNqOwUVSG8ajUzpW21BGDXj1du_Cc2d75bs6kNkX57yEaJg4CiImevMGkaqs5GUszYhf3f80yLzNMivIZH0AERIxX6jupn53JQISphSOBFuAL0/s320/IMG_1131.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589744871659551858" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I am overwhelmed with the love and support from all of our family and friends that we have received on behalf of Hailee. These past few weeks have thankfully become much easier than I thought it would be.

We talked </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">alot</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> about </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Celiac</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> Disease, and she also told me that just because Hailee's initial blood result numbers were extremely high did not mean she had </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">celiac</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> disease. I was thinking, "great....what else could it be then?" She sent me to take Hailee back down to the lab to get more blood work done (poor girl!) This time the test was specifically for </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">celiac</span><span style="font-family: arial;">. If the results came back positive again, then Hailee would need to go in for biopsies of her small intestines for the final confirmation. (Amazing how many times they have to "Confirm" it to be </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">celiac</span><span style="font-family: arial;">.)</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This morning the doc called and told me that Hailee's blood work came back and that it has the high elevated levels for </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">celiac</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> and that she would need to have the </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">biopsy's</span><span style="font-family: arial;">. Originally when I found out Hailee had </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">celiac</span><span style="font-family: arial;">, I was completely overwhelmed and very emotional. This time I felt so much peace, knowing that we finally did receive an answer to our prayers and that we can get our daughter feeling better. So it looks like Hailee will be going in Monday morning for this procedure.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I am not looking forward to having Hailee have the biopsy, but they said it is not painful (Thank goodness!). Hailee already HATES going to the doctors so much and constantly tells me "Mom, I just want to get outta here!" But hopefully once everything gets settled, we wont be having to make doctor visits for a very long time!</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">All in all, things are going much better!</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">To give an update on Jake....</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">He is 11 months old now. Crazy, huh?? I still can't believe it! He is such a funny </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">lil</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> kid. He is so destructive (in a cute way...for now. </span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">lol</span><span style="font-family: arial;">) and is always so busy! He absolutely ADORES Hailee. He can say "</span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Dadda</span><span style="font-family: arial;">" "Mum" "</span><span style="font-family: arial;" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Baba</span><span style="font-family: arial;">" and "Dog" and tonight he added "Doggy"</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">He can also now take 3 good steps! I think we will be having a walker this month! So excited!</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Jake is an incredible eater. He will eat practically everything!</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">He takes 2 naps a day, one at 1030am and one at 3pm. They usually last for an hour to hour and a half. He goes to bed at 8pm and wakes up at 730am. I love his schedule!</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">He is such a happy little boy and has so much personality. He cracks up about everything, loves playing games. His favorites are rolling a ball back and forth, playing chase (We will crawl and chase him or he will chase us) and he also loves playing peek-a-boo. He bring so much love into our home and we just love him and Hailee to pieces!</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Now time to enjoy some pictures!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Jake loves his cars!</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-family: arial;" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3WjgGAkTdhwLJOqE4KqC4hUlMy0bN1PlT_QbohAtnk2GP7PcGoAit615jMCJzflK620xf2FQYwVLZr4FwdcdPowU4DTNL0anhkEpL9zlLXMma3erNr4s2lZhBqklEkWNbc7luTfhjHs/s1600/IMG_1129.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I gave in. I swore I was over doing a blog. My pictures are all so out-dated, so many exciting events have come and gone, and then I decided there was just too much to try and catch up on. But now I'm back. Mainly for another reason. I need somewhere to write. To express my thoughts and get support from all of my fellow <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">bloggers</span>. So, here's to catching up on life.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">The past 5 months have been hard over here at our house. Not the typical hard, but the hard that makes you cry. You ask why? Because we have had to see our daughter Hailee suffer in pain, and it seemed like each couple of weeks, she would have more pain and it would take longer for her to feel better. So, here is the story.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">We started noticing about 5 months ago that something wasn't "right". My Mom and I had the kids out for a hike and Hailee was running around full of energy like any other typical 3 year old, when all of a sudden, she stopped dead in her tracks and said her stomach hurt really bad. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">That's</span> all it took, she crawled up into the stroller and was wiped out for the entire day. I didn't think too much about it at first, but then we started noticing this was happening more frequently. I took her into the doctors and they thought it must be a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">UTI</span> so she was tested and it came back normal. Hailee was then back to her happy self full of energy, and then, this time on Christmas night, it hit her again, HARD. She was up all night throwing up, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">diarrhea</span> and in miserable pain for several days. She looked horrible, and just wanted to either be held or lay on the couch for the entire day watching cartoons. By end of the week, she was feeling better again, and then about a week later, it hit her again.<br />This same routine went on for several more weeks. Feeling good to being hunched over the toilet, throwing up, and wiped out for days at a time. We also noticed that she was bruising for no reason and was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">extremely</span> pale <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span>. (Like seriously as white as a ghost at times) It was so hard to watch this, and whenever I was able to get her into the doctors, she happened to have a "good" day so I don't think the doctor fully believed what I was telling him.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">We went to Washington in February, and this is when we realized that something major was really going on. The first day in Washington Hailee started throwing up and had <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">diarrhea</span> again. This lasted for 5 straight days. She was pale, tired, and lost almost 2 lbs. I called the doctors to get an appointment the first day we were back home from vacation, and of course, she was acting <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> better. They tested her for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">UTI</span> again, and this time it came back positive. She was put on antibiotics for 10 days, and those 10 days she was feeling pretty good. Day 11 was completely different.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Hailee was back to throwing up and the runs and I called and got her back into the doctors and told him I really want her blood work done and an ultrasound ( I had been asking for these to be done for over a month, and he kept denying me). But this time he agreed. We had her blood work done that same day. It was a Thursday. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Friday morning, I was outside my house, turned on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Pandora</span> and stuck my phone in my water bottle belt and was about to take off for a run when my phone started ringing from an "unknown" number. I usually don't answer if I don't recognize the number. But I felt like I should just answer it, and so I did. It was Hailee's pediatrician. He told me that her blood work came back and there was some major concern with her calcium blood <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">serum</span> count. He said it was a very serious issue and I needed to get her up to the hospital as soon as I could to have her blood test re-done. If the numbers came back the same, then he was going to send her to CHOC hospital to be admitted and if it happened to just be an error, than that would be wonderful. Of course, as a Mom, I was overwhelmed with emotion. This is my little girl. Things aren't supposed to be wrong with her. She's healthy. She's beautiful. She doesn't deserve to have to suffer. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">So, I took her to the hospital, and was so happy my Mom and friend Wendy were able to come be a support and help with the kids. Once the blood work was done, we had to wait for an hour, which seemed like an eternity, for the doctor to call. Once he called, he told me her numbers looked great! We were all so relieved!<br />Hailee spent the night at my parents house, and the next morning they went out hiking, and maybe 10 minutes into the hike, her intense stomach pains returned and she was as pale as a ghost and had to be carried the entire way. (She didn't want to turn back, bless her heart, she still wanted to go hiking with Grandpa and Grandma!)<br />I called the doctor Monday morning and let him know how she was. Wednesday she had her ultrasound. (3/9/11) He was having an ultra sound done on her kidneys and rest of her organs to see if anything would come up to explain these intense stomach pains with the runs and pukes. Well, Friday night 3/11/11, our lives were changed forever.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Gregg was working and I was at Target with the kids. It was about 6:30pm and I was about to check out and head home. My phone rang from, once again, an "unknown" number so I figured I better answer it. Once again, it was Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Deterville</span>. He told me rest of her blood work came back and he had a major concern. Actually, he said it just wasn't a concern, it was something serious. He told me that by the numbers, it shows that Hailee clearly has <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">Celiac</span> Disease. The normal range is from 1-19, and her number was 123. He told me to immediately take her off all gluten and wheat. He also told me that he had a major concern with her ultrasound (which we met this past week to discuss) but long story short, her left kidney is enlarged. He has another ultra sound scheduled for her next week and we will figure out what is going on.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">But back to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">Celiac</span> Disease. Before 3/11/11, I really had no clue what it was. I had heard of it, but never cared what it was. But now I do. For those who don't understand what it is, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">celiac</span> disease is auto immune disease where the lining of your small intestines is damaged from gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye. There is no medication to fix this, it is just a lifetime diet change. If the diet is not changed, it can cause even more damage to the small intestines which usually results in intestinal cancer. (And along the way, extreme sickness, horrible stomach pains, vomit, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">diarrhea</span>).</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">After the phone call, I had mixed emotions. I was thrilled that it was something "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">curable</span>" but unsure what it really meant having to change our whole families diet.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">It hit me hard Saturday morning. We woke up and I went to make the kids breakfast and I started reading all of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ingredients</span>, and practically everything we had, contained wheat in it! I started to cry, because I didn't even have anything "safe" for Hailee to eat, besides a banana. After she ate her banana, she told me, "Mom, I'm just starving! I want a waffle please!" It broke my heart. I knew she wasn't going to understand, and I gave in and made her a waffle. I knew it was going to hurt her stomach, but I didn't know how to deal with it just yet. We went shopping that day and bought a bunch of gluten free foods, and over that weekend, were so blessed with many gluten free foods from my family and friends. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">It has been an emotional adventure so far. Now that its been 10 days since we found out, I finally feel like I can do this. I know that I was having such an emotional time with it because I kept thinking about her future, like, "Is she going to feel left out when she goes to school because she will have different foods?" "Is it going to make her sad?" " Are kids going to make fun of her because she has special dietary needs?" It was just <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> to be thrown at with out talking to the doctor yet.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">I am feeling so much better now and have been having <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of fun finding new meals that the entire family can eat that are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-error">GF</span>, and also that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">Deterville</span> and I have been able to sit down and talk about it all.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Hailee still has a hard road ahead of her. We meet with the specialist on Wednesday, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-error">Deterville</span> said that they will most likely be doing a biopsy of her small intestines to see how much damage has been done. We are praying that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_23" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of damage hasn't been done, but we'll see. I am so proud of Hailee and what a brave girl she has been through all of her blood work and ultra sound and several doctors appointments. She is just amazing and impresses me.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">I know that this is a huge blessing and answer to our prayers that we finally know what has been causing her so much pain. The news could have been much worse. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">What really calms my heart when I am feeling <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_24" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">overwhelmed</span>, is knowing that Hailee is such a choice spirit, a daughter of God, and that she wanted to come to this earth so bad that she didn't care what kind of trials she would have to go through on earth. She just wanted to come. She is such a blessing in our family, an amazing daughter and an amazing big sister to Jake. We love her so much, and are so happy that she will finally be able to feel better and be back to her full or energy girl that she was. </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995475930835414049.post-77123193492525544582010-12-15T21:19:00.000-08:002010-12-15T21:23:48.765-08:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:180%;">We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I am so sad! But it was just me and the kids because Gregg had to work, so it was a little hard to get pictures. But the kids (mainly Hailee) had <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of fun. She participated in the costume parade, and even won an award for her costume! She also loved going around to the cars for candy.

I was excited to take my Mom to this hiking area finally, after all of the hikes I have told her about and how fun this place was. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDQrlR_IiagYNm3xhePl8Z3QNKa1pyUf1ROvmSNI10bd9-354mmBRIqkQVj4zGyiZ1Kapo6LxAJNycMyE0nzS-DxPQJaijqsn7AuYcqTDYFzkz_qXcNjnj2HPGLvqxNqXqZIkDatcmUkM/s1600/DSCN2585.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525529037255693714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDQrlR_IiagYNm3xhePl8Z3QNKa1pyUf1ROvmSNI10bd9-354mmBRIqkQVj4zGyiZ1Kapo6LxAJNycMyE0nzS-DxPQJaijqsn7AuYcqTDYFzkz_qXcNjnj2HPGLvqxNqXqZIkDatcmUkM/s400/DSCN2585.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> I think I jinxed myself by saying that.

We stood a ways away, throwing rocks at it and trying to get him to move. He wouldn't budge. By this time, Hailee was starting to get a little nervous.

Not once did she cry though, she just sat there and watched us trying to scare the snake. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We threw rocks at him for probably a good 10 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">minutes</span>, even hitting him a couple of times, but he would not budge.

We are amazed at how fast these months have gone by and wish they would slow down. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.<br />Jake is such an easy baby. I always say that, and then knock on wood in fear that it might change. Since Jake was about 2 months old, he started sleeping through the night. Now, he sleeps anywhere from 8-11 hours a night. It is wonderful! </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">He is also our little sucker. He always has something in his mouth...usually his fingers or a burp cloth or toy.

Its fascinating to watch her because she doesn't pound on the keys like most kids would, she moves one finger at a time on the keys just like Rick does. Maybe a future piano player?

So, we were at the park in Corona 8/27/10 and we were playing and having a good time. Hailee was running around and going on the slides and then this cute brown haired 4yr old boy comes and starts following her around. He had been playing with a few other boys and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">kept</span> watching Hailee and then left his friends to go by her. At first Hailee was always looking back since he was following her everywhere and she was giving him dirty looks. I told Hailee that I think he wants to play with her. So then she tells him to chase her and they started running around and laughing a ton. They chased <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">each other</span> under the slides, down the slides and all around the swings. She got tired so she sat down and said she was going to take a break. The little boy sat next to her and said "I'm going to feed you" and pulled out a bag of pistachios! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>. Anyways, a while later I told Hailee it was time to go, so we started walking back to the stroller. This little kid yells to his Mom, "I'm gonna walk her to her stroller." Before we left, he asks Hailee, "I see you again??" <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lol</span>. I could not STOP laughing! This little kid was totally trying to work it with my DAUGHTER!!! Are you serious??? It starts THIS YOUNG??? Oh man, we're in trouble!!!! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>. It was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">soooo</span> cute though!!!</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995475930835414049.post-76453564031342514442010-08-21T23:46:00.000-07:002010-08-22T00:12:34.295-07:00Gregg's Adventure<div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">This past Tuesday, August 18 2010, Gregg, Rick and my Mom went hiking to the Bridge to Nowhere.

Gregg always has her way above the water and then she jumps in. The other day (I wish my camera battery didn't die) Gregg had Hailee standing only on his hands and had his arms straight up in the air! She was so high! Then she jumped off into the water! He also has her standing on his shoulders and she tucks herself over his head and does a somersault into the water!

We had such a fun day! Gregg and I realized that the last time we have actually watched fireworks was when we were dating! How sad is that!?! I think that's why this 4th just seemed so much more fun too because I was so anxious to see fireworks again! I felt like a little kid! Plus it was such a great day because we were able to spend it with family!<br />We all started the day off by going to church. I absolutely love church and feel so blessed that we live in a country where we are free to worship and have our own beliefs. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">After church we all met at my parents house for a BBQ and swim. Everyone had so much fun! Hailee is our water girl, I swear, she must be part mermaid under her skin! She can swim for hours and hours if we let her!

I can always go to him for counsel, advice and for fun times. The other amazing thing about him now is what an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">incredible</span> Grandpa he is to his <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Grand kids</span>.

You can tell that she already looks up to him so much. He is also such a great Dad to Jake. You can tell he is so excited to have a little boy (now he won't always be having to have only tea parties, or dressing up like princesses...which I have to so is just so cute!)

It was like clock work...right at the 2 hour mark Jake would start crying until we stopped so I could feed him! Amazing how that works! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">haha</span>.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Anyways, the kids were absolutely great the entire car ride! Hailee had so much fun just being in the car with all of us! She was constantly talking, singing and dancing the whole drive to Arizona!<br />In Arizona, we stayed at my Grandparents extra house in their retirement community. It makes is really nice to have a whole house and a golf cart when you go to stay with them!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Hailee really loved the golf cart rides. She kept putting her baby Jake in the basket, hopefully none of the old folks thought it was a real baby! That could give them a heart attack! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA4IxvLj6_GxHKU1165vtj3e4tcDMrX7Fx8xsPjV_i5hKpKBJJeuIZJq83XNyXNJdN0ow5V9NHRkEdMaI4jHZ79t9Va_tkeNni-PB-ZqRgL1AlBTTO2rOcWYz3eJ6QPhlmQUaVvP2dc7Y/s1600/May+21+2010.JPG"></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482507052707816962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA4IxvLj6_GxHKU1165vtj3e4tcDMrX7Fx8xsPjV_i5hKpKBJJeuIZJq83XNyXNJdN0ow5V9NHRkEdMaI4jHZ79t9Va_tkeNni-PB-ZqRgL1AlBTTO2rOcWYz3eJ6QPhlmQUaVvP2dc7Y/s400/May+21+2010.JPG" /> <p align="center"></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> One of the mornings, we went out for a walk...we left at 8:30am...and it was ALREADY 92 degrees!
