Ash Wednesday

The M kids sportin' their ashes!

We all went to mass for Ash Wednesday, that's right all 5 of us --- It was absolutely jam packed, so we stood in the cry room along with the dozens of families, with much anticipation as to how the evening would go.  It started out nice and peaceful then just went down hill from there!  After awhile, they had had enough and were done. Nothing really bad had happened, it was just 7pm (bedtime is 7:30/8) and getting 2 one year olds to sit for over an hour is very hard.  But the best part of the evening was when we all went to get our ashes, it freaked Tyson out like no tomorrow!  He just kept staring and pointing at my forehead yelling "Ahh! Ahh!" and then would look at everyone else and point and yell!  It was making everyone laugh, it genuinely freaked him out.  I guess it would be scary, if you're a little guy and when you look at everyone they have a black fuzzy thing on their forehead :o)

Oh and I almost forgot to share what we gave up for Lent...

Ashley: Soda
Rob: McDonalds
Kaila: French fries

Our weekend craziness started a little early on Friday morning when someone got a little hair cut by another 5 year old in this house... The boys wanted to watch a show before swim lessons and when I called them down, I got no response so I ran up there and Tyson says, "Mom! I get a jelly bean because I let Lincoln cut my hair!!".  Um, no. I didn't get a picture of him, but this is his hair...a lot of his hair!  It was cut in so many chunks and some places right to the scalp, so he got his head shaved today...and, he's so darn cute!   The Majorek kids and Richardson kids finally got to hang out and so we took the kids to Chuck E Cheeses...not our ideal place to hang, but the kids had a great time!  This little dudes face was so darn cute on this ride :o) And best news of the weekend, this kids finally learned how to swim!!!!  We have no idea as to why all of a sudden he decided to do it, ...

Highs & Lows of Surgery

Recovering after his surgery Thank you all for praying for Tyson, he is recovering great after a very long surgery Tuesday. Usually it takes a few days to close their chests back up after surgery, but his swelling was not too bad so, Dr. Nigro was able to close it on Wednesday, which is fantastic! He was doing really well with his breathing on the ventilator while trying to ween him off, that they decided to remove that Wednesday morning. After they removed it unfortnately, Tyson stopped breathing 5 different times within about 30-45 minutes after the ventilator was removed. The Nurses, Doctors and Respitory Therapists were still with him and were able to make him breathe again on his own after messing with and having to "bag" him. They believe that he still had the sedative medication in his blood stream and was not as awake enough. They gave him medication to reverse the effects of the sedative so that he would wake up which worked and he became stable. A few hours later ...
