September 12 2005

2009-09-14T12:14:00.001-07:00

It was 4 years ago on September 12th when our little Tbone was admited to primary childrens with a dime lodged in his esophagus. He was 9 months old. This is a story about a $60,000 dime pictured below. Thank goodnes for health insurance we paid $2000 out of pocket!! 1 week prior to this my mom was watching tbone and he tends to hold his breath and pass out he was crawling on her floor and she said he kind of gagged held his breath and passed out it scared the crap out of her cause he had never done it before for her but plenty of times for me so nothing bad was thought about it. That same week Nates great grandma sue passed away we went to Ely for her funeral and out there Treyson held his breath and passed out which again i was used to. However, on the way to Ely Tbone had gained a cough and we noticed it sounded kind of like croup we decided if he was not better when we got home I would take him into the dr. When we got home he was not better I got in with Dr. Brown and P.A. Kevin Anderson (yes my relative) could not hear anything but decided we needed xrays to check the chest and see. Well to our little surprise there it was the what we thought at the time was a penny lodged in his esophagus I started balling!! Nate was in Colorado in the semi and here I am home so they said we needed to get to primarys. Primarys told Dr. Brown that lifeflight would be there in 30 min to get him I started to sob called my mom and told her to get ready. Called Nate and work. Nate told me do not let lifeflight take him dont let them take him you get in the car and drive up there!! I decided and since I was an EMT at the time that he still had and airway my mom would watch him on the way up that I would drive. I told Dr. Brown to call lifeflight to tell them I am a EMT and to cancel them and I also knew the number to 911 if I needed help!! (since that is where I work). He told me to call if I needed anything. We stopped at producers on the way up and had my brother Wayne give him a preisthood blessing. We got to primaries and I know the way since I had a 2 week stay there for my heart issue. They took him right in the Ear Nose and Throat Dr. told my mom and I the procedure and to hope it was a penny and not a dime cause dimes cause lots more damage and that was worse case scenerio due to the rough edges than a penny!! We waited and he came he told us it was the worse case scenerio and it was a dime that put a 2 mm tear in his esophagus and handed the dime to me. I went to see my baby and he was MAD after coming out of surgery and of course kept holding his breath so the nures would freak out which he became well known for his 2 week stay of the kid who held his breath! but the nurses would freak out not his mommy though!! Later that night they put us in a room and gave Tbone a feeding tube down his nose told us that he would need that until his tear healed and he was not to hav anything down his throat. That night Tbone was still restless he wanted me to hold him we noticed he was having a hard time breathing so the nurse listened to him and said I need to call the Dr asap I believe he has a pneumothorax I started to sob once again and my mom looked at me and said whats that I told her collapsed lung I know I was an EMT at the time the nurse looked surprised that I knew what I was talking about by then it was about 4 in the morning. We were immediatly taken to PICU intensive care. The surgeons put in a chest tube that remained with my baby for 7 days. We were in PICU for 2 days and in the hospital for a total of 14 days. His throat was not healing like the Drs thought. The Ear Nose and Throat Drs had never seen anything like it. Well on one night taking Xrays they noticed fluid around his lungs and throat and was going to schedule surgery immediaty to put in drains Nate and I were devistated!! He was receiving three Heavy antibiotics every 3 hours through a piccline that went straight into his heart plus being fed by a feeding tube still. We called the family for a special fast and prayer in Treysons behalf. One of the surgeons who had actually checked on treyson earlier to get his chest tube out called us and we happened to tell him and he was going out of town for a couple of days and it was not doing any harm to treyson and he told us we needed to decide on a Dr. to make the choices. We had really liked this Dr. so we went with him and he called the Ear Nose and Throat Drs and told them that surgery was not to be done on Tbone until he returned and could look at the Xrays. It turned out to be pneumonia from the chest tube which is very common. Tbone and I were getting restless his tear was healing but not as fast as they thought I wanted to get home!! Dr. Downey decided we could only if we came home with a G-button which was put right into Treysons stomach so I could still feed him and do home health until he was better. I had to do his antibiotics through his picc line which when we got home and home health which is wonderful!! Was there as my support and they told me no matter what time of night they would be there and they were for the first 3 days until I felt comfortable enough to do alot of things on my own. starting at 7 am I had to give 3 strong antibiotics every three hours every day The last one was given at 1 am. He had to have feedings in his g-button every 3 hours starting at 7 am until 8 pm with certain calories than I would hook him up to a pump at night with formula from 8 pm to 7 am. Needles to say no sleep was gotten. It took 3 weeks of being on home health for his throat to heal!! He was weaned from his bottle cause I was not going to re wean him after that and he is now healthy and happy with 2 belly buttons a scar was left from his g-button!! I am so grateful for my husband, family, friends support!! I appreciate my co workers picking up the slack for me!! We received tons of calls and visits from lots of friends and prayers.!!! I hope you enjoy this read I know it is long. I hope you can see the pictures I had to scan them in

This is my friend Jeff Kearney aka "Shrek" as bone now calls him "Shrek the third" he was kind enough to come to Tbones preschool for show and tell. His teacher each week has letter show and tell. It was "P" show and tell so he took a police officer. Shrek was awesome he talked about booster seats, seat belts, helmets, and gun safety he did a wonderful job and we appreciate him for it!!!!! Thanks Shrek (for those that don't know I work with shrek through 911 dispatch that is how he got himself into this!)

S
Shrek and Tbone Treyson is showing off Shreks unloaded gun!!

Shrek let Tbone play with the lights and Sirens What a face!!!! He was so excited!!! Maybe a future cop on our hands?? Who knows

Jalen Nathan Richards "J" "Brover"

2009-03-20T20:16:00.000-07:00

This post is long over due about Jalen I will have to find newer ones I my computer. Jalen will be 15 in June yes people he will be getting his learners!!!! AHHHHH where has the time gone. He was 9 when Nate and I were married! Here are some pictures of Jalen enjoy.

Showing his lamb county fair 2004

Thinking he is cool driving dump truck. Stephanie helped a local farmer drive dump trucks in 2004 so the kids got to go with me while Nate drove tractor for the same farmer.

baseball (look at how young)

This is what happens for your 12th birthday. Especially when you go to scout camp and run with a glass bottle this was 2 days after it happened!!

And the birthday party. Nate was able to get time off to go with Jalen to thunder ridge I believe down by Cedar. The night he got down there Jalen was running at night with a glass bottle tripped and Nate was able to take him to the emergency room in Cedar and bring him home. What a bonding moment. Not the kind of phone call you want at about 11 pm .

Pine Lake not sure the year

School band performance yes it is a trumpet 2006

I dont know when this was taken but he looks good!

Utah history assembly 2005 (our little indian)

I will find some updated photos on my computer!! I thought there were more updated ones on my moms. But this is a glimpse of Jalen or "J" or my bestest brover as Tbone calls him. He is awesome we love him so much. He helps us out a lot with the animals, cooking, (yes he loves it and I love the help) and everything else we ask him to do . He is a great big brother to Jocelyn and Treyson and a wonderful son. We are proud he is in our family!!!!

I know I know I know!!!

2009-03-16T22:16:00.001-07:00

It has been a while Me and Tbone have been sick and I am just starting to feel like doing stuff!! Things are pretty routine I will get pictures of Jalen downloaded from my moms soon and Tbones show and tell pictures as well. Ms. Dana has show and tell on thursdays and you take something that starts with the letter they learned that week. A couple of weeks ago it was p week so he took a police officer. Thank you Shrek aka "Jeff Kearney" but is known as shrek cause if you painted him green he would look just like him. Tbone was so excited he got home and told his dad that shrek the third was at school and he got to play with the lights and sirens and had some awesome goodies!! Shrek did a good job about teaching about car seats gun safety bike and helmet safety it was awesome!!!! I will post pictures. I went to Rascall Flats Concert and that was the best concert in the world it would have been better with out jessica simpson!! She forgot her lines did not move much but shook her butt enough for everyone she was terrible!!! Rascal flats was awesome they did good involved the crowd so good!!! If I can get Amberle to email me some pictures I will down load some did not take a camera mine is broke and have not got a new one. All is going well Jocelyn will be 8 soon April 6 so getting ready for birthday parties etc and Nate will be an age I cannot disclose at this time on April 19th. I will post pictures soon I promise. I hope all is well with everyone!!

Had a bad day

2009-01-29T02:46:00.000-08:00

Marrisa I thought of you at this title!! I got home from work yesterday Treyson and I went to do chores. We have triplets goats that were born 4 days ago way stinkin cute. Tbone thinks he is their protector if he decides the mom is not feeding them right he carries them over to her so they can eat what a kid!!! When he was out helping me they were out of the pen which he was concerned so he started carrying them around the fence to put them up every time he put one up another one would get out and so the cycled continued. On the last one he tripped over something I dont know what but he hurt his foot and his head side of his ear. As he was running to me and I was booking it to him so he would not pass out he slipped opening the other fence and hit his back on the fence post. Poor thing He thought that he had hurt that baby goat and sobbed until he seen it walk to its mom just fine!! This is one of many bad days like this. The day before he smacked his forehead on something and slipped on ice what a kid. And if you dont know treyson when he gets hurt and cries way hard tends to hold his breath and pass out but if you get to him intime he doesnt I am used to it now but Nate is not!!! I hopefully will be putting a new camera on layaway soon!!!!

Mom there is a lot of dust in the kitchen!!!

2009-01-23T18:49:00.000-08:00

I got off work at 6 am this morning. at about 10 Treyson comes running in mom there is alot of dust in the kitchen. I was trying to figure out what he was talking about. I went running up to the kitchen full of smoke and the microwave going with 3 min and 35 sec still left on it!!! He decided he was going to warm up his own breadstick on a glass plate. Yeah!! He kept telling me that there was dust in the kitchen and we needed Uncle Rulon I told him we did not need Uncle Rulon ( he is my great uncle that lives 2 houses down) I was opening windows and here he comes dressed with coat and boots I asked him where he was going and he told me to get Uncle Rulon. I told him no we are fine the dust just needed to go out the windows!!! He is 4 years old so we had to have a talk that he does not cook his own food unless mom or dad is here to help. What !!!! I did not think I would have that talk at 4 years old with him!!! other than that we are doing great. Nate went to missouri this week and loaded in Kansas and is on his way to wyoming to unload pipe. I miss him wished he was home but what do you do. I hope all is having a great week!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

The Richards Family

5 years married, 4 years old, and a 1 year old

2008-12-12T02:12:00.000-08:00

We have been married for 5 years today Treyson is turning 4 years old and Bridger Bradshaw is 1. Also my Great Uncle Jack would have had his birthday today as well but I am not sure how old he would have been. I have two pictures of Treyson but I need to get pictures of when he was born from my mom. I did not order any from the hospital becuase they were taken the night he was born with a cone head and they did not even really bathe him. I will get pictures of Jalen posted as well. I hope you dont fall asleep it is kind of long sorry!

Treyson Thomas " Tbone"

Treyson I was excited but scared when I got pregnent with Treyson. I had to stop all of my heart meds I was on 3 at that time immediatley. Went into Dr. Brown and he told me not to be offended but he did not even want to attempt to deliver him in Richfield and felt more comfortable if I delivered in Provo incase anything happened. My heart Dr liked that idea as well. He set me up with some baby specialist that were from the U but came to Utah Valley to monitor my pregnency. Since I was 5 weeks along I was to a Dr once a week getting blood pressure checked etc.... Wether it be in Richfield and Provo and also having ultrasounds once a month. We found out we were having a little boy in late July Nate had to stay home and work so my mom and Jocelyn and I went to my specialist appointment in provo and there it was he was definatly a boy!!! no mistaking it. They asked me every visit if I knew what I was having I had to tell them yes but let me know if it changed. It never did. I had a very good pregnancy no complications. A female Dr delivered Treyson I cant remember her name due to the fact I met her 3 weeks before I delivered. So on the night of December 11th we went to Nates Christmas party and the Meacham family party. When I got home I kept going to the bathroom I told Nate I did not think I drank that much water tonight. After midnight while going potty a gush of fluid came didn't think anything of it. At about 3:30 am I knew I was having labor pains and since we had made a trip to provo the week before in false labor we didnt want to do it again. So I did what the drs told me to take a warm bath and if the pains get worse that usually means you are in labor. Well they got worse so I told Nate to pack a bag and we would go to Richfield and get checked first before going to provo. He said nope your not in labor we will just end up coming back home. So we went to sevier valley first they hooked me up and yeah I was having contractions they checked me and did a test came back and asked if I had been leaking fluids it was about 4 in the morning I told her at abou 1215 I kept going potty and a gush came. Her eyes kind of got big and said well you are 90 percent ephased and dialated to a 3 let me call Dr Brown. In came happy dr brown he looked at us and said head up to provo I will call them and they will be waiting for you I will call your Dr. He had to tell Nate 3 times we were having a baby that day and it would not be a waisted trip. Than by about 5 in the morning I realized I had to be to work at 6 am so we had to call my boss Kathy and she had to call us back when she woke up and realized what we told her. So we went home and packed Nate a bag!!! and headed north. Almost hit a deer just out of Venice and almost hit one coming into Levan. We had to stop in Nephi so Nate could get some caffeine to wake him up. My pains were getting a little harder but not too bad. We got to Utah Valley and went up to the delivery floor and had to argue with the nurses that I was the cardiac patient they were expecting. I were there by 730 am. I was dialted to a 4 when I got there and still 90 percent I believe. Than my favorite thing happened I had an epidural in me right when I got there. I could not push or they did not want me to feel any labor due to less stress on my heart. I had to let treyson work his way through the birth canal. I was fully dialated by noon however it took him a while to work his way down. At about 6 pm My mom and my two sister inlaws Cherish and Michelle walked in. They werent there for very long when the Dr said we were ready she said they could stay in the room it was up to me and I told them I did not care. Nate told my mom she had to sit in the chair and no sound effects as my mom usually does. It was a neat experience until one of the sister in laws had to say so thats what it looks like thanks guys. Tbone came out with a fast heart rate which I am sure he still has and the dr told the nurse it was ok cause his heart rate was fast during the whole pregnancy which it was! we stayed in Utah Valley for 2 days and was able to bring our sweet one home. I love being a mom to 3 great kids!!! Happy Birthday Tbone!

The Story Of How We Met

I was 26 Nate was 30 I started going to the "older" Singles activities for something to do. Through one of my friends I had met a person their by the name of Dorothy Muir. She kept telling me that this guy had come to a singles activity one that I had missed and she gave him my number. Well over a month had gone by and Dorothy kept asking if he had called me yet. Heck no everyone kept telling me they had someone to set me up with so I just blew it off until the call came one day. I was surprised. He wanted to take me out so we made our plans. I was running on the ambulance at that time our first date was August 1st 2003 one of the busiest weekends on the ambulance and I believe that weekend still holds the record. I had to find someone to cover my shift so I could go on this date. I was so nervous he came to my door and picked me up my first though was hummm not bad and look at those gorgeous blue eyes and the eyelashes. He was driving a 1986 blue and white ford diesel pickup at the time. He made a comment about his truck and I told him not to worry I was used to farm trucks I think I hurt his feelings some. We went miniture golfing in which I kicked his butt!!!! and went to Mad house in Salina to eat. We kind of decided we didnt want to end the date so we went and rented movies. I cant remember what time he left my house but it was late. We set up another date which I figured he would just not call well he called the next day and came over to hang out. He came in that second night had a horse shoe trader paper and a mountain dew I looked up and he had pulled a Dr pepper out of his back pocket I tell him that is when he had me was at the Dr Pepper. We dated and did not spend very many days apart. He left roses on my back porch step and when I got off work at midnight that was the best thing in the world to come home too!!! I want to thank him for 5 of the most wonderful years of my life. I love being married to him and cant wait for many more!!!! Happy Anniversary Nate I love You Very Much!!!

Amberle and I were excercising we started last night to do pilates with the ball. Well T-bone cant be left out and would not leave us alone so we went to walmart and bought a little 2.00 lightening mcqueen ball for his excercise ball. You have never laughed so hard in your life I will try and get pictures of T-bone not of Me and Ambs we will post with end results. But Treyson stuck through two excercise videos one with the ball and the other belly butt and thighs! He did all the actions with his ball and everything I could not help but laugh my head off needles to say I did not excercise my best last night it was too comical. I told Nate about it and he laughed his butt off he said he was going to ask bone how we excercised he will show you he is so stinkin funny!!!!!! I will try to get pictures

My LIttle Goat Herder

2008-11-06T03:15:00.000-08:00

Tbone is the best goat, cow, pig and dog herder in the world!! When anything gets out I send him chasing after them it is the best. I am at work it is 4:24 in the morning. I tried to take a nap tonight and it was so cute cause I told tbone that he had to stay in the house and not go anywhere he likes to go and visit Aunt Gaye and Uncle Rulon alot about everyday he goes to get cookies and play with Uncle Rulon and tease him! So he told me he was going to tuck me in . Well he did pulled the blankets way up and gave me a kiss goodnight it was so cute. He is so full of it one minute and the cutest sweetest little boy the next. He is going to be spending two nights a week at the tenders. My shifts are Monday Tuesday Wednesday 6a - 2p and Graves Wednesday night and Thursday night I get off on Friday mornings and do not have to be back to work until Monday morning. I know you may think it is a crappy shift but I am at least home on the weekends with my hubby and kids now!!! What a way to do it huh? I have some pictures but the computer is not working tonight or something so I will try again in the morning. I will post some more pictures tomorrow

Guess what Tbone was. This is not the better pictures by the third time of painting his face I did alot better. My camera was dead on Halloween night and I could not get my batteries charged my charger died. But after a few gentle words I did get the battery charger to work last night. I have more pictures to post which will be posted through out the next few days and hopefully I can get a video or something going on the website as well!

Dad thats one hell of a big truck!

2008-11-04T06:42:00.000-08:00

Amberle and I went to West Jordan to Hales theatre I know people I sat through a musical! We went to into the woods it was actually pretty darn good! Some of the songs were a little long and it was like 3 hours or so but it was good all of the stores had 50 percent off sales so I did get some Christmas and T-Bone birthday shopping done. So while I was away Nate went and got part of his Christmas off layaway at larsens a new chain saw. The smile as he uses it he even asks if I can hear him use it what a crack up. Him and T-Bone spent the day and while at Larsens Ace Hardware T-bone got a new big truck cause dad caved! After they got to the truck and on their way home Treyson grabbed Nates face and said Dad thats one hell of a big truck. What a kid I know.

Jalen Duck

Treyson was so proud of this duck can ya tell?

Jalen's Duck

Jalen got a duck on Friday morning. He went hunting with one of his friends down here his brother T-Bone was proud of the duck and would go and grab it by the beak and keep qaucking like it was the duck and than would want us too shoot it again he loves hunting. The one photo is Jalen and his friend Chuck that Treyson calls Truck so that is what Nate named the boar pig is Truck. They were holding poor bone down and tickling him he gets the ticklishness from his mom it sucks! We have way too much fun around here!!!! I just got home from Lehi taking the kids half way it was a nice ride they all slept on the way up and Treyson was just happy on the way home he found a rock in the flower bed at Wendy's in Lehi and that was his new best friend the whole way home it kept him entertained what a kid it does not take much for him to be entertained cheap Christmas toys huh. Well we have now upgraded again to 5 calves so I am going outside to give them their 2nd feeding for the day yeah!! Treyson is watching cartoons every commercial that comes on he wants it all I tell him the Trudi will buy it for him he is pleased with the answer!
