Halloween



Ok Halloween this year I have really realized how having a Dad again means so much to the girls.  This was their idea and as they went from house to house they had so much fun telling everyone who they were.  Then when it was picture time they did: dad sweeping mom off her feet and mom and dad kisssing...ewww...according to them so funny!!!
We have also started our Christmas shopping and they have had so much fun buying presents for their Dad.  I asked them what they want for Christmas and they both had the same answer...we got what we really wanted...we got a Dad...WOW...that just warms my heart...I LOVE my sweet little family.

Vertigo

Ok so first of all lets start with how this all started....my parents, my cousin Connie, Uncle Bill and I went to California to see the quads get baptized it was a great weekend.  Well the day we are to head home I wake up and turn over in bed to look at my cute nephew and the whole room starts to spin...so much so that I fall out of the bed.  I stand up really fast and just about fall over so I lay down in the middle of the room.  The room is spinning so fast and my heart start pounding and I can't breathe and the next thing I know I am going into all out anxiety attack mode.  My Dad and brother come and give me a blessing while I am hanging my head in the toilet by finally I stop shaking and can breathe again.
Well we have to go home so with my head in a garbage bag we head out...me throwing up the whole way and as long as my head is down the room doesnt spin too much.  We get to Fillmore but have to stop for my mom who was having problems with an infection.  I get out of the car to breathe and it starts even worse so I get checked into the hospital where they treat me for VERTIGO...first of all I have heard of this but it is a million times worse then I could have ever imagined!!!  I end up having to have 2 shots and stay overnight and have to be given 4 bags of fluids due to dehydration.  The next day we finish the trek home and I have to wait until Tuesday to be seen by the doctor on base and was given meds to help with this vertigo crap.  Well here it is a month later and during the day I am better but every night it starts again so I am just taking a pill before bed and seem to be doing ok.
