The Good, The Bad & The WORSE


Wow, so now that I have missed an ENTIRE month of blogging, I have some serious updating to do!! I think we should start with the good first :)
The Holidays were wonderful, all Brad's family came here for Thanksgiving, and the my husband took A WEEK off for Christmas, that is right a WEEK OFF! I swore we weren't going anywhere, but with a week off how can you stay home, so we packed up the kids, the dog, more on that later, and headed to snow country!! We went to Boise to see Jared, Crystal & the kids, it was great getting to spend a whole week with them, the 4 kids play so good together & they had so much fun!! They got to go to a science museum, sledding & off course hunting with their Daddy!! Now that the Holiday's are over we are trying to get back in the swing of things!!
The kids playin in the snow!!

After we got home the kids got to do another Christmas with Grandma Terry, Jesse, Aunt Becca & their uncles, they are loving all this attention!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!! WE LOVE YOU!
On another good note, we decided we weren't busy enough with the 3 kids, so we went & got a dog!! What was I thinking, right? She is actually a really cute puppy, we named her Hurley, so now we have Roxy & Hurley! For my sanity she goes to work with Brad to get trained! The kids have a love/hate relationship with her. I think Braiden is the most into her, but as she grows up & mellows out they will all love her, she has, for the most part :) been a good dog!! She likes the kids chair :)

THE BAD
Our little Braiden just can't get over this winter funk so we took him to the doctor AGAIN to find his lungs are a little screwed up, so after many tests & 13 hours in the Sunrise Children's Emergency Room we finally learned he has RSV. Sucks, he had to be admitted & have a gazillion breathing treatments & some oxygen, he was only breathing at 85% on his own. Well, we finally got released & were on the road to recovery, but I found out there is something worse than 1 kid with RSV, what 's that you ask? That would be 3 kids with RSV.

THE WORSE
On Sunday Carter & Alexee both started acting sick, so off to the doctor we went on Monday, to learn that they all 3 had the funk!! Alexee is already over it & fine, poor Braiden is fighting it with all he's got, our sick little Carter unfortunately is getting sicker. He went back to the Doctor today, & was put on an oral steroid to help kick the funk, hopefully he will recover soon.

AND EVEN WORSE
So, in the middle of this post Carter started coughing, Mommy went to get him & BLAAA He just puked all over me, so I guess we shall cut the post short & go shower :)
On another good note, our kids are like Brad, they are so damn tough you would never know how sick they are!! They have been so brave through all of this, I am excited to get them all healthy so we can go outside! :)
Oh in case you were wondering, I go to the Doctor so much we are like buds, I even have his home number, pretty sad huh?

  1. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun having a White Christmas! RSV on all three children :( boy...I can't imagine dealing with that, I bet your just about sick of giving those nebulizer treatments to the kids. Hang in there Milton family and we hope you get better soon so we can meet to play at the park. Nice days like today really makes living in LV not all bad.

  3. You're back! I was about ready to post for you in your absence. =) I'm so, so sorry for you and the kids. RSV sucks monkey balls (this is a PG-13 blog, right?).

    Can't wait to see you when you're all done with the sickies.
