Zoo Walk for Autism!

By -
Today we participated with Walgreen's in the Zoo Walk for Autism!  It's such a great feeling in knowing that you are giving back to the community to help raise money for important research!! We started the walk at the baseball field parking lot and walked to the Zoo and then throughout the Zoo. 




The walk went by pretty quick and everyone enjoyed it...almost everyone!  See that little lady in this picture to the left...yeah, that would be Miss Kaila.  She was not a fan of having to walk so much and made it quite clear the entire time by saying "you know I don't like to walk." Awesome.

Tyson became very popular at the end...he was super excited to give high-fives and clap for everyone!!

 But when it was time to give the girls a high-five, he would refuse! He did this over and over and everyone at the finish line got such a kick out of it!  Too funny!!

After the walk they had a group (in which I forgot the name) that performed a few dances.  It was really touching.

After the walk, we were free to roam the Zoo...We didn't hang around too long because everyone was getting cranktastic, but we did manage to see the reptiles...

These two were fascinated with the snake, I could barely hold them back!




 
After we went to the Zoo, we had lunch at Smashbox (Burger joint) and played with in the fountains...

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 ...
