Ryan's hospital stay

By Cardon Family
May 10th Ry is finally comng home! Yeah!

So for those of you who are wondering why I haven't updated my blog in forever this is why. Our lives have been a little hectic. So to make a long story short for those who don't already know, Ryan was admitted to the hospital feeling great, the docs just wanted to do some tests on his liver because of some blood results that showed elevated liver enzymes. They did some tests and procedures and one of the procedures made him really sick. He ended up getting pancreatitis.... Then he got an infection and so on. He was in the hospital for 7 days. On the 6th day we were told that we would probably go home that next morning. He still wasn't doing all that great but the pancreatitis was gone and the infection was going away so they were going to send us home. At 3 in the morning that morning the nurse came in and told us that a liver was available that matched Ryan and that he was going to recieve a transplant that afternoon. We were shocked! We were up the rest of the night, he had to do a bunch of tests to get ready. He ended up going into surgerey at 5 and didn't get done until 2 in the morning. I was exhaused, I waited in the waiting room all that time. I'm so glad My mother in law was there with me. The surg went great there were no comlications. He stayed in the hospital for 10 days after his surgerey. He is home and doing well. We are so blessed the way everything happened and are so greatful to have such wonderful support from friends, family and our ward. Thanks everyone!

Brooklyn and Boston

By Cardon Family
We went to Las Vegas for Spring Break. Ryan
worked and we visited some of our friends.
This is Brooklyn at the park with her friend Boston.
We are so excited to live go to Vegas for the summer so we can hang
out with them more.
Brooklyn liked to play in the sand. She would pile it up on her legs and all over her dress.





Brooklyn and Boston at the park. How Cute!

Valentines Day!

By Cardon Family
I had the best Valentines ever this Year. Ryan really spoiled me. Well I had to work Valentines Day but Ryan left the cutest message on my phone while I was at work and then when I got home there were a dozen beautiful roses and a card waiting for me. We didn't do much that night because I had to work and we didn't have babysitting. We ordered pizza and watched movies together. (Our favorite thing to do lately since it's been so cold and snowy) Ryan told me that he had something planned for Mon. night since we didn't get to go out on V Day. He arranged babysitting and surprised me with dinner at the Melting Pot! It was fabulous, we were stuffed! I totally recommend it especially the milk chocolate peanutbutter fondue dessert. Then he gave me my present, an eternity neckalace. It is so pretty the pic doesn't cut it. I love it. I got Ryan a new wedding ring because his was lost last year. Kinda boring I know but very needed. I love my sweet hubby he's the best. Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day!







Cheese Fondue Mmmmm!


 

Happy Birthday Madison!

This is Madison's 7th birthday party, It was a Hanna Montana party. I can't believe how grown up she is. I have known her since she was 1 years old and started nannying her when she was almost 2. She is adorable
