Day 107 - The Seizure


















This is how I left them on what would turn out to be the scariest day of my life so far! I picked Ashleigh up from a friends and went to do some grocery shopping.  When the phone rang, I didn't think much of it.  Until I heard Dans voice on the other end, telling me I had to get home right away.  I made him tell me what was wrong...I figured someone had fallen and was bleeding....but the words that I heard made my heart sink. Shae-lyn is not breathing get home now! I don't really remember the ride home.  All I could think about is if my little girl would be alive when I got there.  Needless to say...I was extremely frightened!  I got home at the same time as the firetrucks and ambulance arrived! Good news...she is breathing.  She had a seizure and stopped breathing for about 2 minutes.  They got her on the oxygen and away we went to the hospital.  She still wasn't herself. But I felt better because we had people taking care of her who knew what they were doing.  Once we got to the hospital, they did tests to determine what was causing it.  It was determined that the seizure was fever induced and that she had pneumonia for the second time in 2 months.  Taking after her big brother.  She got to go home, but we pumped her full of Tylenol to make sure her fever didn't spike. She's doing good now...hopefully we never experience this again.  Dan did a great job of taking care of his little girl without losing it....I don't think I could have done it!

Day 45 - Wedding Band Jewelry

Joy of Love Day 14 - Wedding Band Jewelry

5 years ago....almost 6, I married my bestfriend. Time flies when you are having fun! I look back and see how far we have come together.  We have been through a lot!  Not to mention the 4 kids. Who would have ever thought that I would have 4 kids?  Certainly not me, but I love every moment of everyday.  And I love you, Dan Byrnes!  Thanks for always being there right by my side every step of the way!

Joy of Love - Routines

Are we turning into an old married couple?????  Lately our routine includes watching Wheel of Fortune.  The highly competitive people we both are, always try to beat the other one to solve the puzzle! Of course, I always win!!! If only you could win from the comfort of your couch!  We'd be rich!

Day 43 - The eyes

Joy of Love Day 12 - The Eyes


Shae-lyn has georgous blue eyes.  I love them and so does everyone else.  We can't go anywhere without someone stopping us and saying "WOW LOOK AT THOSE BLUE EYES", right after the usual, "Are they twins?" LOL.  I now have sooooo many answers for that question, but I still just nod my head and smile.  Best not to say them out loud!! :)

Day 42 - Dreams

Joy of Love - Dreams


What llittle boy doesn't have the dream of being a hockey player like the ones on TV?  Cadeyn is no different!  A wise woman (my boss) told me just today that less people are enrolling their kids in hockey because of the violence.  I said, more of a chance for my boy to play in the NHL!  Cadeyn loves hockey, he has a stick in his hand pretty much from the time he wakes up to the time he goes to bed.  I would love to see him play.......then he can support me!!! :) LOL!
