The Actual 3rd Birthday Day

Here are a couple pictures from Kehan's actual birthday, today, May 31. I can't believe how fast the years go by! Some days can't go by fast enough and other days you just want things to stand still because they really are only little for awhile!

The top picture is of Kehan and his birthday cup cakes and the next is of Kehan, Kjerstin, and their dad Quinten enjoying them. The kids helped to frost them and choose the colors as I made frosting.

Kehan's 3rd Birthday

Now that life has settled down a bit and Quinten's dad Brad is at home and doing well I have a chance to put up some pictures from Kehan's 3rd birthday party on May, 24. The Spiderman couch was hands down the favorite gift as you can see by the look on his face. I don't think he could have been more excited than he already was. Thank you Uncle Kyle and Auntie Kim!

Good News Friday

Well today is a good news day! Brad has left the hospital and is on his way home. We thank God that he has answered so many of our prayers and has granted that Brad may stay with us for a while longer! A few lifestyle changes are around the corner including a 40 year old smoking habit that will have to stop. Your prayers will continue to be needed as Brad conquers that habit.

Again thank you to everyone who helped and offered assistance during this past week. It really means a lot to us and the rest of the family to have such close family and neighbors who are willing to pitch in when things go unexpectantly. May God bless every one of you!

Update on Brad

This morning Brad had an MRI. The results came back and showed nothing on his spine. They are going to take him off of the pain meds and get him up and walking around and see what happens. Otherwise as of now we do not know why he has pain. If all goes well he will come home tomorrow night.

Sunday Evening

Late Sunday evening around 10:00pm Quinten's dad, Brad, had a heart attack. They transferred him to Grand Forks around 11:30pm that evening. He was doing well but having pains through out Monday. All of his heart scans came back clean. Monday evening he started to have uncontrollable pain again and they brought him down to look at his heart again. They found one small fuzzy spot in his LED. They put a stint in there at that time it was around midnight Monday night. Brad had to be sedated and put on a ventilator due to the sedation because the pain was so bad. They did a CT scan of his Chest and Abdomin, both came back clear with the exception of his galbladder being slightly enlarged. Right now he is in ICU and we are waiting for the results of the rest of the tests they had run. They should figure out what is going on this morning. Please keep Brad and Lana in your prayers and I will keep everyone update.

Also I will get around to posting about Kehan's 3rd Birthday party this last Saturday, but it will be later today or tomorrow.

Baby Boy Devin!

Here is a picture of Devin that Peggy sent me today. Isn't he cute?! And look at all of that red hair! Pastor, if you are reading this are you jealous? A full head of red hair from the start!

Baby News!

Hello to all. I am bearing good news!

She is at the hospital in Hutchinson, MN. She is exhausted right now but doing well. Keep both Mom and baby in your thoughts and prayers.

***Update****

Talked to Peggy this evening. Things are going as well as you can expect. She is pretty sore and Devin has a bruise on the back of his head that is pretty sore. Devin also has A LOT of RED HAIR!!! I am so happy he has red hair!! I guess the hair is even pretty long. Peggy also says he has her complexion so he is pretty white. I told her that every year he will get a bottle of sunscreen from us for his birthday. She thinks they should just buy stock between the two of them. Please keep them in your prayers. They are going home tomorrow afternoon.
