FREEZING


Mandi had her first ever track meet yesterday and of course, since we live in Utah, the weather was atrocious. It rained, it sleeted, it snowed and it was COLD. Mandi's events were the high jump, long jump, and the 100 and 200 dashes. She did great! She tied for first in the high jump, surpassing her best jump ever. She would do her jump and then run over and put her jacket and pants on. Then when it was her turn she would quickly take them off and then run do her jump. I think she really enjoyed the whole experience and anytime she is competing she is happy. I, however, froze. I finally went to my car and drove it as close as I could get to the field. Then with the heater blowing I would wait for her turn, jump out of the car, run watch and take pictures and then run back to the car to warm up. It wasn't much fun but worth it to watch Mandi do so well.

Back to the hospital!T

So Tuesday I brought Brian to the hospital AGAIN! They admitted him to his normal floor but later that night he became loopy from too much CO2 in his system and they admitted him to the ICU. I got the call at midnight and got to the hospital at 1am. He slept for several hours and then started fighting the BiPap mask and we knew he was getting better. He is now in a step down unit for intermediate care and we hope to go back to his normal floor later today! He is not great (never will be until the lungs come) but is doing much better than he was on Tues/Wed.
