Surgery

My dad and brother went in for surgery about 7:30 a.m. this morning. I have come down with a stomach bug, so I'm not able to be there at the hospital with my family, which is a major bummer. :( But my mom and sister are keeping me well updated. Thanks to everyone for your prayers, and I'll keep you updated here on how everything goes!

10:30 a.m. - Tyler has been out of surgery for almost an hour now. Everything went fine. The kidney looked great! My mom should be able to go and see him soon.

11:20 a.m. - Tyler talked to my mom and Brittany; he's awake and doing fine. He says his stomach and his abs hurt - I'm sure that is to be expected. My dad is now also out of surgery. The doctor said everything went well and hopefully my mom will be able to see him soon!

2:00 p.m. - I just talked to my dad. He is tired, of course, but sounded surprisingly great considering everything! Tyler is also doing well, though he seems to be in a bit more pain, poor guy.

6:30 p.m. - I talked to both my brother and my dad just now; they are both doing okay, though of course they are both in some pain.

9: 30 p.m. - My mom's on the way here. My brother and dad are both settled for the night. I am glad that this day is here and gone and that everything went well today! Now I am just praying that they both have a quick recovery.

The stomach flu...YUK!!! I'm sorry you're sick (I can TRULY empathize with a yucky tummy), but I'm glad all is going well with the surgeries!! Don't worry about checking on me, there will be plenty of time for that later. Right now it's about your family!!

Sorry you are not feeling well! Sounds like you guys have jum,ped two hurdles. I hope that the coming days and months go smoothly. How long do your parents anticipate staying? Thank you for sharing and keeping us upadated. I was thinking of you this morning as I got ready for the day. My testimony was strengthened through your example and how abuntantly aware our Heavenly Father is of us. It truly amazes me how through listening to simple promptings by the Spirit, great miracles are orchestrated. Miss you, and hope you feel better soon!
p.s. Brandon and I flew over the South end of Denver las week. I looked out the window and wondered where Highlands Ranch was, and waved to you, hopefully in the right direction. Did you see me? :)

Funny Things Katelee Says

"Are you going or leaving?!?" She was trying to ask if I was coming or going, I think . . . LOL!
Pulling her eyebrows up in the middle, "Do I look EVIL?"
Gerald woke up one morning complaining of a sore back. "Dad, you need to get a Sleep Number bed," was Katelee's response. We cracked up! Too much TV, perhaps?
I told her I was going to french braid her hair. When the braid was done, she asked, "How does my Mexican braid look??"
We were admiring a beautiful moon on the evening of Gerald's birthday. Katelee said, "I think Jesus put that moon in the sky for daddy's birthday." Aunt Bonnie's birthday was two days later. Katelee saw a cloud that was shaped like a "princess crown" in the sky and said, "I think Jesus put that crown cloud in the sky for Bonnie's birthday."
"Do you know Heavenly Father's phone number?"
How did Heavenly Father create our bodies without spilling all the blood?
While driving past the big glass windows at a local restaurant, "MOM! My vision is SO GOOD that I can see through that wall!"
"I was scared that the cow was going to moo at me. Or poo on me."
"Can you remember all those things that are in my brains?"
"I have 100 pounds of heart in my tummy for daddy. Mom, you only have four pounds."
"I want more tickling and kiss-l-ing!"
"Scripture Power! Keeps me safe from THIN!" Nothing we say can convince her that 'thin' isn't the proper word here.
While serving a German chocolate cake, "I don't want the German, just the chocolate."
In a really sarcastic voice, after Gerald asking if she needed to go to the bathroom, "Dad! I'm NOT two!"
As we were leaving Deseret Book, "Mom, I really like that statue of Jesus and Mr. God."
Me: Katelee, did you just BITE me? Katelee: No, mom! I was just chewing on you!!
To the kid at the playground who climbed to the top of the jungle-gym, "Hey! You are the angel Moroni!"
While saying a dinner-time prayer when the missionaries were eating with us, "...and please bless the...umm...the...the teachernaries."
"I can feel Jesus in my heart. Mom, I think Jesus is hungry."
Trying to make a deal with me: "Mom, if you put my doll's dress on, then you can give me a fruit snack!"
While sobbing about her new splint, "MOM! I REALLY miss my wrist!"
"I want to go to the temple and marry a prince. A prince named Ronald. But NOT Ronald McDonald. Just Ronald."
"Mom, I have to wear my sunglasses when it's dark so I won't be scared of the dark."
"Do you want to play? You be the princesses and I'll be the glass slippers!"
"These are my shoes. Their names are 'glass' and 'slipper.'"
"When I grow up I want to be ketchup."
"Frogs jump like this. Frogs jump on the knee pads. The knee pads float on the water and the frogs jump on them!"
"I want to watch Shampoo." This means 'Enchanted.' Even though we have told her several times that the movie is called 'Enchanted,' she still gets confused and calls it Shampoo. =)
"I'm not hyper! I'm a CHICKEN NUGGET!"
"Dad, don't poop in your underwear!"
