Dan’s back in the hospital.

It has been a NIGHTMARE fighting the freaking mosquitoes here in Utah. Our daughters (especially our 4 year old) have crazy reactions, get huge welts,

This video is from a couple years ago. I set the camera up to capture us working on a project in our room but it turned into this moment. Marriage is hard. Parenting is hard. LIFE is hard. But Oh. My. Goodness. are the blessings and good things in life abundant if we stop and count them… WE ARE SO BLESSED! If you’re going through hell…. Keep on moving. Don’t give up. God’s got you.

It’s been a minute since I updated. Honestly, in this moment, I am sad. We are missing our active/normal lives so much. I’m sad that I’m doing everything without Dan by my side. Our son’s soccer games, church, date nights, road trips… all the things we normally do together. Dan is still in bed unless he has to get out to use the bathroom, do wound care or go to the doctor. The other night his infection started ramping back up so we’ve been in a state of panic and anxiety for a couple of days. Thankfully we had a few things in place and didn’t end up back in the hospital. We had a doctor on call to have a face to face call with and we had an emergency bottle of stronger antibiotics that we had them prescribe for when this happened again. I’m thankful Dan’s not in the hospital today… hopefully we can keep him out! This is all so exhausting and just sad… we’re really really missing LIFE… Ecclesiastes 1 To every thing there is a season⁠, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die⁠; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh⁠; a time to mourn⁠, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get⁠, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend⁠, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence⁠, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate⁠; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth⁠? 10 I have seen the travail⁠, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Real talk: Dan doesn’t know I’m doing this… I am DROWNING with anxiety worrying about this dude! I seriously can’t handle the constant fear I have that he will get injured again EVERY TIME we leave the house!

After much stress & trying to talk myself out of it for a few weeks, I started a GoFundMe for our family to get a new van.
Why a go-fund-me? We don’t have money or access to a loan at the moment to buy a new van. (We will eventually - if we can sell our current van & pay off our loan but not soon enough.)

I know how much you all care about our family & I know you would be APPALLED & willing to help make this happen if you knew the reality. Dan’s shoulders have gotten so bad that he’s stooped to a level of danger getting in & out of our tall van that I’m no longer comfortable with. Against my urging, he has been using a STEP STOOL. Before his femur surgery he was using the box in pictures 2&3 ☠️🤦🏻‍♀️ (part of why he fell I’m sure).

P.p.s. These pictures were taken right before he left to the ER. If you think we look exhausted and the smiles look forced… you’re right.

He’s been screaming in pain all night because they’re not giving him proper pain medicine…again… 😩 WHY?!?!

P.s. Dan’s toes are looking a lot better so that’s good! Hopefully they will maintain care for them in the hospital…

Dan’s back in the hospital. Cellulitis came raging in yesterday morning. He was in denial all day yesterday (because who wants to be admitted to the hospital on the eve of Christmas Eve when you have a wife and 6 kids excited to celebrate). He finally went into our local ER after midnight & they transferred him by ambulance to the U at about 3:30 this morning.
