My poor little lover has had one hell of a week!
We found out last friday that Robbies grandma had passed away so last minute he got on a plane and went out to Idaho. I decided I'd go to vegas and stay with my mom so I could have help with the kids for the weekend... and boy did I need help!
Bostyn had been throwing up occasionally and I wasn't worried at first because I thought it was normal for a new baby. Well it got much worse and to the point that she was throwing up every feeding and multiple times in between. 3:30 a.m. rolled around and Bostyn and I had been up all night because she just wouldn't stop vomiting. So after much debate my mom and I headed to the E.R in Las Vegas because my poor baby was looking terrible. The Dr. seriously looked at her for one minute and told me she had a bad stomach flu and that it would pass. So one LARGE POINTLESS bill later we were back at my moms. She didn't get any better on Sunday so my dad and brother gave her a blessing (and one for me too because I couldn't stop crying!) And after that my dad felt strongly that we needed to go back to St. George in the morning and see our peds Dr. Right when our Dr. saw her he knew something was wrong and ordered an ultra sound. Come to find out she had Pyloric Stenosis and needed emergency surgery.
Pyloric Stenosis is a condition where the pyloris muscle between the stomach and intestine closes off and when that muscle tightens it doesn't allow food to pass through to the bowels. and she couldn't keep anything down for 3 straight days so she was starving to death.
Having to watch your one-month old baby go into surgery has to be one of the hardest things I have ever done. I think the whole week hurt me more than it did her! She is home now and still trying to recover. She isn't quite her normal self yet but today she is finally eating more normal and keeping it all down. I feel so bad for her but I know she feels so much better than a few days ago.
This picture was right after surgery. She was so worn out and finally got some solid sleep after 4 days and hardly any at all. Where that tape is, is where her scare is (about inch and a half long) So after a very long few days things are finally getting a little better.
Besides all of that things have been going really well and the kids are growing like weeds. We love them more and more every day.

Poor girl! Poor you!
I can't imagine having two babies to take care of and one being sick. It is bad enough having one and that one being sick. I am so glad to hear that she is doing better!
Both of your babies are so cute and they are growing so much!!
No one really tells you how painful and heartbreaking parenting is! I'm sorry you had to go through that stress, but I'm glad she's doing better!! Such a doll!
Oh my heavens... crazy gets crazier when the hubby leaves. Wow! Darn doc's in the ER in Vegas. Always go with your Mother instinct and make the doctors listen. Way to go Lindsi!!!!
Sorry about Robbie's G.ma... it is always hard to lose a family member.
