Our Spring Break!

Well, we had an eventful Spring Break but not a very relaxing one! I took Brian to the hospital Monday morning & he stayed there till Wednesday night. He's been sick for the past 3 months off & on with pnuemonia- supposedly. Everytime he went on antibiotics he felt better but scan after scan he showed he had either a partially collapsed lung, enlarged spleen, scar tissue, or a leak of some kind. Anyway, we took him in again Monday & the Dr's realized he had a puss pocket under his diaphram & above his abdomen. They're still not really sure how it got there but think it might have been there since his surgery 6 years ago when he had all the complications. They said most likely it's not a leak though since it's one bacteria. So they sedated Brian & put a long tube into the pocket & attatched a drain to it that he gets to carry around for two weeks. He's on strong antibiotics & except for the drain pulling, he feels pretty good. That's the short version!

Luckily, it happened during Spring Break so the kids didn't have anything. Thanks to all the family & friends who helped us out with childcare, meals, support, blessings & prayer! We were very blessed & watched over! Six years ago almost everything went wrong & it was a very scary & long recovery. This time everything went very smooth & the problem was corrected. The doctors were very concerned & cautious but got things moving very quickly. I'm so grateful for the Spirit & priesthood blessings- they gave me the strength & comfort I & our family needed!
