Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas friends. Christmas has always been my most favorite Holiday. But this year has been amazing. I have lots to be thankful for, and as I sat on the floor playing my 4Th game of operation with my kids I embraced all of those blessings. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for the opportunity to be here in California and celebrate this wonderful day with my family, and the family that lives in the area.
Last night we went up to the Santa Cruz mountains and had a wonderful dinner with Isaac's father and his new wife Kristy. Earlier we traveled to my grandparents house to have an afternoon full of food, laughter and memories. There were five generations in one room. How special is that?
Jonah has been doing well here, but still on oxygen. We have him on intermittently due to his fluctuating oxygen needs. I have seen his lips go blue a few times this morning so I know something is going on. Tomorrow we will be traveling 14 hours back to Utah. I feel safe there knowing that Jonah has an amazing doctor that always makes time to see him if needed.
Morgan is in 7Th heaven as Santa brought her everything her little 4 year old heart desired, but Mommy & Daddy took full credit for the lady bug pillow pet!!!
Our vacation has been long, due to all the illness my little family has been hit with in such a short amount of time. We were unable to do alot of things that we had planned, but I guess next time when we are out here we will have other opportunities.
I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas!
Much love from our family to yours!

10 days people
Jonah is doing tons better from his little episode Monday. Though there has been some issues with secretions or "plugs" he has been able to clear them on his own with a good strong cough. I have been doing meds around the clock and will continue to do so till he is on his base line of oxygen needs. His energy level is back up but he is still a wee bit pale, but... today Jonah started eating by mouth, and we love to see that!
I have been running crazy today! I can't believe Christmas is just 10 days away, so much to do before then. I'm wondering if I stop, breath and really really think hard if I truly believe... Will Santa just take care of it all??? I finally made it to Costco to get our Christmas cards printed off, and they will be ready and picked up tomorrow. I asked for the envelopes so that I could address them all tonight.
We are going to be heading back to California for Christmas and Morgan is elated! She loves going to California for many reasons but her favorite one would be because she gets SPOILED rotten by grandparents due to the fact she is the only girl on both side of the family. Unfortunately we will be driving. This way we can drive out the O's for Mr.J and he will have it when we go to Cali though out 2011.

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh! ...Or ambulance
My eyes feel like they are buldging out of my head, my nose is dripping like a faucet and I can't stop sneezing. I don't feel good. I had a final in my math class that I missed and now Im stressing that my profesor is going to give me an incomplete because I was a no- show.
Why was I a no-show???
My Jonah was a sick kid today and was ambulanced up to the children's hospital from his pediatritians office.
His ped just called me. How sweet is that? It's like 9:00pm! She just informed me that his results from the VRP are back and indeed he has Influenza A or H1N1... We will need to wait 48 hours to see what the cultures are. Fun!
I am beat so Im headed off to bed, I am on med duty every 3 hours through the night to help nurse this kid back to health. Nothing worse then having a sick child. I love him so so so much.

statistics
Since January of 2010
Morgan has grown 3in (putting her at 50th % on the chart..up 25% from Jan)
Jonah has grown 2in (putting him at 32in long... still not on the chart)
Morgan has gained 5 lbs (sitting pretty on the 75% mark. Following her curve to a T!)
Jonah has gained 3 lbs (weighing in at 28 lbs!)
We had an appointment today and I got the low down. Morgan is very sick. Sick kids are never fun, however I seem to funtion better as a nurse when Jonah is sick, and get super nervous when Its Morgan who is sick. I just don't know how the rules for a healthy, sick child. When is the temp to high? What do I do with her? Is letting her just lay on my bed and watch TV till her eyes roll back ok? Is 7up good for every illness or just stomach issues?
I'm Cluless!Seriously folks, CLUELESS!

time to Blog
I have been neglecting my blog. I guess time is just getting away. I have so much going on. I have to remember to keep my blog up as it is a journal of my thoughts, memories, sane and insane times of my life.
Jonah's med schedule is crazy but I am fearful that if I don't keep up with it he will be hospitalized again with no notice. The air quality has been horrible in Salt Lake. I have been doing my best to keep him inside and this past weekend we escaped to Santa Cruz Ca to visit the grandparents. He seemed to be doing well, but today as I dropped him off to the school bus I noticed his top lip was grey-ish. Upped his oxygen and he was good to go.
Yesterday Morgan and I went to the American Red Cross so I could donate blood. She was disgusted to say the least. Her little head could not wrap around the idea of sharing blood. She's so funny. Morgan has also been doing such a great job in school. When she writes her name you can really read it and see that she wrote Morgan. She is also singing lot's of song's in Spanish thanks to her favorite singer, Dr.Jean!
I have finals on Monday. Eeek! I'm not ready. I guess I will spend Lot's of time studying this weekend. I guess instead of trying to save some money by grooming my dog myself, I should have been practicing crazy algebra problems.
