EASTER

This was a fun adventure for our family. To rule our appendicitis we took Brecon to the same hospital were Brielle was born after he had been having severe abdominal pain. It wasn't a big deal or anything, but just to be sure the hospital staff admitted him and we stayed there for 3 days. I think Brecon actually liked being there in the hospital, it was like going on one of our trips and the "HOTEL" was actually bringing in food to our room! Plus, when Ben was the parent there he let Brecon play as much video games as he wanted. This wasn't so great for me when I actually read him a story, we brushed our teeth, and went to bed... He got real emotional and said "I want Dad to be here." That's what I get for being the MOM!

 

In the end, all the results from the labs came back normal, and our weekend was spent between our house and the hospital when Ben didn't have to work on Friday or Monday!! GRRRR!!

 

*also funny to note: One of our adult friends went in that following weekend after some severe pain and she actually had her appendix removed !!

 

Our poor Brecon hooked up to an IV with his sister crawling all over him. The rest of the crew sat nearby eating our picnic.

EASTER EGG HUNT

Our Family Readiness Group for the medical clinic hosted an Easter Egg hunt, face painting, and balloon rocket/animal fun! Ben volunteered to help out with the balloons and the kids went crazy blasting them off into the sky. It was fun to watch Ben work his magic around the kids and there was a good line to get their rockets pumped up with air. He roped in a couple of assistants to handle the crowd and the kids all got way too much candy from the hunt.
