Really?!

The last few weeks have been eventful here at the Beyer Household. We had a beautiful baby boy, such a joy! He was a bit jaundice, so the doc suggested that he should be put on lights, the little "suitcase" ones. Luckily he only had to do that for a couple of days. But I felt that my eye's had not been shut the entire time looking at the blazing lights. 2 day's later Brady came down with what we thought was the flu, he was in a lot of pain and throwing up for hours. Finally at about 11 pm he came into the room and said that he was going to the emergency room. Something was wrong. Being the tough guy he is, he somehow drove himself to the emergency room, was checked in. Had an ultrasound on his stomach, they couldn't find out what was wrong. So next step a CT scan, morphin injections and still throwing up from the pain. No conclusions, but when the results came back. APPENDICITIS. Myself ,being up for almost 2 days straight, with a new babe and the next night on the phone with my poor hubby. Talking every hour wondering what was wrong with him...Finally he called and said that he would be going into emergency surgery at 7 a.m. the next day! Phew, relieved it was something that was fixable. But felt so bad that my guy had to go throught all of that alone. I am so very grateful that he is alright, and YES that totally gave me a scare, after a few tears were shed I composed myself and prepared myself to get up, take our newborn son to the peditrician to get his bilirubin levels checked and have enough time to go pick up my hubby fresh out of surgery in a timely manner.
My Mom to the rescue....She dropped all her plans and came and got Brayden immediatly the next morning. Hot soup in hand to give to Brady, telling me, " Don't you worry about Brayden, he will have so much fun with us. It will be a good day for him. My pleasure to take him. And tell Brady to get well" Siggghhhhh, of relief. Love her.
So when we made it home and things started to settle down, we thought everything was back to normal. Then I open my big mouth and say..."Ya know things like this comes in 3's :)" duhhhhh.....
Sooooo~ #3 Currently ALL of my food from my fridge are in coolers on my back porch. Good Times, friends....Good Times....
OUR FRIDGE WENT OUT! REALLY? People REALLY!?
Last night and this morning we have been packing our food in coolers. And I am DYING to have an ICE COLD DRINK... We have a repair man coming to look at it, but lucky me, I have been waiting since 2 pm this afternoon for him. Time now 9pm. And he just walked in. Awesome! :)
But on a good happy note, I am grateful for my sweet new baby boy, in perfect health and is such a great baby! Blessed that I have a wonderful hubby that is so sweet still helping me throughout his own pain, and surgery. So happy that he is alright and will be fully recovered in the next week or so!
As for the darn fridge, it's just a fridge....Just one more thing that we can look back at and laugh. Funny how an icy cold drink sounds so amazing when you cannot have one. So yes ladies, I have went to Sonic
this evening to satisfy my thirst and love for the Sonic ice! Aaaaahhhhhh.............so good..Life is funny, but good :)

WOW! Enduring all this might make you a candidate for Superwoman! So sorry that you had to go through all of that in such a short time span. Hope Brady recovers quickly and congrats on your adorable little one!

Yikes!! Are you ready to run away yet?! So sorry to hear about Brady - that is so scary but I'm glad he's recovering well. We can't wait to get out and meet that new little baby but...we'll give you guys a break (and make sure we can get an icy drink when we come over :) )! We love you guys - talk to you soon!

I really hope you cursed up a storm, not in Brayden's presence obviously, because if anytime is a good time for some cursing it sounds like this is just it. Sorry you had a rough few days! It's bound to get better from here. Hate that repair guys give you a 10 hour window of when they just may show up. Fantastic aren't they?
