Update.

Well a lot has happened since my last post. I FINALLY got a job Its with NorthStar Financial & Insurance I am the new Executive Assistant to David Patrick there. Right after I found out that I was getting the job we also had the Wardells coming down for the weekend. So Friday I was going to get the house clean and ready and then have a mommy/daughter date with Avery. I had this fun day planned out with taking Avery to the splash pad with the river and they have this carousel there that I thought we could ride a few times and maybe even go to the Children's Museum. Lots of super fun activities that I was excited for. But as I was having my breakfast planning my day out. Avery came up to me and told me she had cereal up her nose. I looked and sure enough there was a Lucky Charm stuck in her nose. It was to far back for me to get out so we had to do the inevitable and go to the insta care. I called James to let him know and then Avery and I went and filled out the papers and waited to be called back. It took a LONG time I am not even joking I think we were sitting there for about 30 min. They finally called us back and at first Avery was just fine. She knew the routine of hopping up on the scale to get her weight and then her height and the we got into the room to wait for the doc and she started pulling out books to read. After the doc came in though she was NOT happy. The doctor and nurse came in and he showed me this nifty little tool. It was this long hose looking thing that he needed to stick down Avery's nose and then he would push the top and a bubble would inflate and the bottom of this hose and then he could drag out the piece of cereal. The only problem was that he couldn't get to the piece of cereal no matter how hard he tried and then as accidents happen it got to be out of his reach and the only option after that was take her to the ER. SO once again we loaded up into the car and I called James to give him an update as we headed down to the ER. When we got there there was hardly anyone there (thank goodness) they took us back and did Avery's weight and height again, which she was a little more reluctant to do. They took her blood pressure which Avery Hated. The nurse was so good with her though even though it had to have been frustrating, Finally after the 3rd or 4th attempt they got her blood pressure results. They gave Avery and little "bracelet" and sent us to the waiting room. Again another long wait but this one was about 45 min to an hour before they finally called us back, and then another 15 min wait in the room. The doctor came in and showed me the same tool only a lot longer than the doctor at the insta care. Avery was trying to hide from her. She tried to get it out but the bubble in the little tool popped. Something she said had never happened before. She was concerned that there may be more than just cereal so she sent in the X-ray crew. By this time anytime someone walked into the room Avery would get so scared and start to cry. The guy helping with the x-ray was so nice and good with Avery. He said he had a little girl about her age. He kept telling Avery that he just wanted her picture and asked if she could say cheese. He really helped her to calm down and Avery was enjoyed being able to see her nose bones. After awhile the doc came back in and said they couldn't see anything but that didn't always mean anything. So we tried again and a few more methods, Avery's poor nose was so swollen. After awhile the doctor said that it must have dissolved or that Avery could have sucked it down her throat. We had to wait another long time to do paper work. Poor Avery was curled up in my arms just whimpering and crying. When the lady came in to have me sign some stuff so we could go poor Avery looked up all sad and scared and started to sob again, she was so tired that she couldn't even give her all out cry anymore. We didn't even get a mile down the street before she was out cold. When we got home I thought she would wake up when I tried to move her into the house. She did for a little bit to ask for her piggie (her favorite stuffed to) before she fell back asleep. She slept for a good 3 hours. We got to the insta care at 10AM and we got home from the whole ordeal around 3PM. It was EXHAUSTING. But I still got quite a bit of the house cleaned before James brought the Wardell kids back to the house. They were down for Gavin's clogging competition and were running a little late, so Nikki headed straight there and James met her there to pick up the kids who didn't want to stay and bring them back to our house. We had a great weekend with them. Avery loved having them down to play, especially the twins. Gavin did a great job and his team got first place in their division. We played at the park, James took all the kids to laser tag while Nikki and I took the younger kids out for ice cream. It was a good chance to talk and catch up with her.Over all (besides the ER trip) it was a really great weekend. and I am ready to start at my new job, albeit I am pretty nervous. :)

These are just some fun pictures. The one above shows Avery playing with her piggie.

She has been learning how to hit and seems to really enjoy it.

After the doctor left. Cal you see her poor little swollen nose?

 Hospital visits are the pits. Sadly we didn't take any pictures with the Wardell's. We were just having to much fun that we forgot.
