Kasey's Surgery!

Kasey is such a brave young man!! He was so patient waiting for them to come get him for surgery...5 hours!! We watched "The son of the Mask" in his hospital room! He picked Watermelon for the flavor of Anesthesia!! They warned us that he may wake up really cranky! Boy were they WRONG!! He was wired!! He was wide awake when I went into recovery to see him!! We only spent 2 hours in the RTU before they finally released him!! The Doctor said they did the best they could and feel that they were able to get good mobility during the surgery! We won't know the outcome until they take off the splint in two weeks! He will have to wear a face guard for an entire month!!! He will be fitted for that tomorrow!! His only complaint has been that he isn't allowed to blow his nose!! I have to tell you the funniest story.... So once we got situated into a room at the hospital, the nurse came in and told him that if he had to go to the bathroom he had to pee in the container....you know the one sitting on the counter. Finally after about 10 minutes I could tell he was really restless, so I asked him what was wrong. He said "Mom I really have to Pee" I said..."well the nurse said you have to pee in that container" He said "Nevermind I can wait". Finally it dawned on me why he was so nervous... I said..."Hey pal you can take that into the bathroom to pee in it" Oh he was thrilled.....He jumped up, grabbed the container and I swear pee'd for 5 minutes straight!! The poor kid really had to pee!! When we were walking out of the hospital that night he was SOOO Hyper!! He was skipping out of the place!! Here are some pictures!

3rd Day of School!!

So...we made it through a whole 2 1/2 days of school without an injury!! Who would have thought that the first one for the school year would have been Kenna Bug!! I recieved the call around 12:30 on Thursday!! She had fallen on the monkey bars and they thought she would need stitches! I took her to instacare to see if she really needed stitches. She had a rock stuck in it so they had to use the tweezers to pull it out...WITHOUT numbing it!! She didn't even flinch!! She was soo brave!! Luckily it was cut horizontally and they were able to just glue it back together! Amazing!! She has a nice goose egg on her head but otherwise is doing well!! Minor headaches once in a while but we think alot of that is wanting to take attention away from Kasey!

First Day Of School!!

YEAH!! We made it through the summer with only one major injury and only 11 1/2 weeks straight of sleepovers!! For the most part they only made minor messes! I would say...a pretty successful summer!! The kids were very excited to get back to school! The night before school started they were all in bed by 8:30pm! Kennadie however, found it hard to sleep. About 20 minutes after we had put them in bed we heard some banging noises in Kenna's room. When I looked in on her I found that she had moved her bed into the middle of the room! I asked her what she was doing and she said her bed was not in the right spot for sleep. Within minutes she was sound asleep...in the middle of her room! The bed has remained there ever since! Here are a few pictures from their first day!

Surprise!

I am sitting here at primary childrens hospital waiting for kasey to be admitted for surgery!! Yes that's right SURGERY! We came up here for his appointment with the ent..within 5 minutes they had him scheduled for surgery!! This procedure apparently should have been a week ago but we were told by the ER to wait a week. Then the doctors office put us off another week. So if this procedure doesn't work tonight then he will have to have reconstruction by a plastic surgeon in a week or two! Wish us luck!

Update!

I am SO sorry I have not been able to post pictures!! I still do not have my computer working yet! It is not in the budget for computer repairs! In the meantime my sister is awesome enough to let me use her computer!!

Here are a few pictures from the Nasty Break!

At the Hospital!
The Next Morning!

The next Morning!

We will meet with the ENT this Friday!! They will be determining if they will just re-break it or if they will need to do any reconstructive surgery. If you can't tell in the pictures the bridge of his nose is broken completely to the left. He has been such a trooper through this whole thing!! Honestly his only complaint has been that everyone looks at him funny! He has been called "bandaid nose" and scar face". Today he came home from school and said that some kid would not stop staring at him!! I will post soon about the kids starting school and other happenings in the Clark household!! I am going to leave you with a FRIGHTENING picture.....

Yep! That's my 11 Year Old Daughter!!! We are in TROUBLE!!

She is SO Beautiful!!!

OUCH!!

Our computer is having issues so I am blogging from my cell phone! Last night Kasey had a terrible accident while rough housing with an older much bigger boy! The boy swung him by his wrist and let go!! Throwing him face first into our piano!! He has a very broken nose and stitches!! We have to wait a week for the swelling to go down! Then they will have to reset his nose! We are hopeful that this will be a simple procedure but the doctor said there is always the possibility of having to reconstruct it! We won't know until we can actually see his nose again! We came home from the hospital at 4am!! Just a mere 7 hour visit to primary childrens! Today he looks a lot like elephant man. Just in the last two hours ygr black and blue is spreading throughout his face! His eyes are almost swollen shut! I have pictures but I can't post them from my phone! Once I can get my computer working or to another computer I will post pictures! For now I am going to try to get some sleep! Jeff and I both had to work today so sleep has not been much of an option!
