So, I already have some funny updates on Brandon!
He was fine and we went to the doctor on Tuesday morning. The doctor took out his stitches and his staples and put long stuff on it and said that it should heal nicely and gave him permission to go down the snake river on our white water rafting trip next weekend (for our family reunion). Brandon was feeling really good. All was well until the next day. I had gone to a lunch with my work and was sure Brandon would be just fine at home by himself. I was almost ready to leave the lunch when Brandon called. He said he was leaking out of his incision. He said it was yellowy blood. I said call Dr. Vorhees and see what he says. He called and Dr. Vorhees wanted us to come in so he could look at it. I told Brandon to put some clothes on and I would come pick him up. He said it was dripping so bad that he coudln't put any clothes on (this is after he had showered). I came home and helped him get dressed and we headed in. He took a culture of it to make sure that it was just the infection and not something else! He said it was what they call "senoma". He bandaged him up again and said he should be just fine.. it is normal to let that stuff come out. We changed the bandages. Brandon luckily had some leftover gauze and tape from one of his classes that I knew we saved for a good reason! Then today I was working and he wanted me to help take off the bandage so that he could shower.. well, we took it off and don't worry that there was a hole in the middle of his incision....it had split open! EW!!! It made me so sick to my stomach.. I about passed out! I had to lay down and put my feet up!! :) We had to get it covered again, so I cut the gauze and had Brandon put it on while I looked away and then I taped it on!! :) I again told him to call Dr. Vorhees. The nurse answered and said he was in surgery and would call when he got out. He called and said he was at the ER and to come in there and he would let them know we were coming. They had us in a different room that they normally don't use, becuase Dr. Vorhees didn't want us to have to check in as a patient (nice doctor). He came and took a look and said it was because of all the infection that Brandon had inside him. It just needs to come home. He said that it wasn't "superficial" and doesn't go very deep. He said he was going to keep it open with a bandage on it so that infection could drain. I can't even look at it anymore.. It is so gross! HE asked if he needed to have a nurse come in and change the bandage, but we said we could handle it. Brandon will just have to put the stuff on it and I can tape it up! He then gave Brandon a abdominal binder to help support it and make him feel more comfortable. We have an appointment to go back and see him on Tuesday and he said if needed, he will put some stitches in it! Sorry, I am not posting a picture of that! I don't even have one...it would make me sick! It is kind of funny to think about me passing out and this whole thing never ending! :)
It is just crazy...something every day! I guess that is what you get when it is something that serious. Brandon had been one sick dude! Poor kid!!
He is doing well, but still doesn't have his full energy back and doesn't feel completely back to normal.
I think this might extend his internship just a little longer because we were thinking that if he has that appt on Tuesday and then wed is the 4th, why go back next week? :) I might get to spend the 4th with him after all!
We were planning to go to St. George this weekend (my cousin is blessing his baby), but Brandon just doesn't feel up to it yet and is nervous to leave! I guess that is pretty understandable with all the complications already!

Poor Brandon!!
So, Brandon got to feeling better during the week, so we didn't think anything was really wrong. Brandon came home the next weekend so that we could celebrate our anniversary (on the 18th). Happy 3 years!! It seems like so much longer than that! That is a good thing, not a bad thing! :) Brandon got off work early and so did I! We met each other in Brigham City and headed up to Logan to try to make it to the USU bookstore before they closed. We made it with 5 minutes to spare. Brandon just wasn't himself. I couldn't figure out why--he acted like he didn't feel good! We went and ate dinner at Ruby Tuesday (where we had our first date). We then went to check into our hotel. It is a little place up the canyon. We pulled in and it was a DIVE and nobody was there! WE decided to just go find another hotel to stay at in Logan. The only thing that Brandon wanted to do was lay down. All the hotels in Logan AND Brigham were booked for a girls softball tournament in Brigham. I said we should just go to one of our parents and we could do the anniversary thing another time. Brandon didn't want to, so we drove to Ogden and stayed in a hotel there. We were both beat and Brandon was in major pain. He hardly even slept through the night! I finally said "you have got to go to the doctor" because it was not normal for Brandon. I made an appt Saturday morning for Brandon to go see the doctor in the Brigham clinic. We thought it could be an ulcer, hernia (he lifted a huge kid onto the table at work), kidney stones, appendicitis (sp?) etc. He went in and the doctor did x-rays and said that he couldn't find anything wrong--none of the above! He said that it was probably just a bug/virus and to eat light to digest better. We continued on during the day and Brandon slept most of it and wasn't a very happy camper--still in a lot of pain! None of us could figure out what was wrong and I thought it was something that would just pass! His pain was all across his lower abdomen. I drove home because he was in so much pain that he couldn't drive. We came home and Brandon got in the tub and felt a lot better. That night (saturday night) he couldn't sleep at all. I woke up and he was not in bed and it freaked me out at first and confused me, but I got up and found him out laying on the couch. He said he could not find a comfortable position to lay in. I went to church for a bit and came and got him and we barely stayed long enough to take the sacrament then went home. We tried to sleep most the day, then went to our Goldsberry Fathers day celebration. Brandon stayed in one position on the couch and I could tell he was in so much pain!! I felt so bad, but I didn't know what to do because the doctor told us he didn't see anything! We came home, loaded with hot pads and stuff from my sis-in-law hoping that the heat would help. I finally decided that it was either insta-Care or the ER! We called and the insta-care was closed, so I came home to get my purse and Brandon wanted to see if he could lay down and get the pain to go away. I didn't know what to do and if it was worth going to the ER. I said a little prayer and almost instantly, felt the feeling that we needed to go to the ER! I told Brandon to get his shoes on.. we were going.. this time he didn't disagree. We got to the ER at 11:40. We waited close to 2 hours waiting. Brandon was just shaking. I was about ready to give up, but I knew that we had to get this checked. they finally took us in and the 1st doctor came in and Brandon told her the symptoms and she immediately pushed on his appendix and Brandon jumped. She was like "sorry man, but I think it is appendix! I hope you aren't planning on doing anything tomorrow!" I thought oh great! So the nurse comes in and drugs him up with morphine and made him drink barium so that things would show up better in the cat scan!At this time I remember that it is our anniversary!! The surgeon comes in and did the same thing and said " We will do a CAT scan, but i would be surprised if it wasn't your appendix! He explained the surgery to us and had us sign all the papers before so they could take him right in! They came in at about 4:45 am and took him to get a Cat scan. I was so glad I had slept a lot during the day, but still super tired by this time and the time just crept along! He came back and about 30 minutes later the doctor came in and said that his appendix had ruptured and looked like he had an abscess with it, so the surgery was a little more extreme. It was like 15 more minutes before they took him into surgery. I was sick to my stomach and so nervous! I went into the waiting room and just started to cry! Brandon said that right before they took him in--it was the worst pain he has ever felt. The anesthesiologist said "okay, just a few minutes" and Brandon said "NO, I NEED IT NOW!!" I sat in the waiting room and thought of all the worst things that could happen and was shaking cus I was so scared. I couldn't help but be just furious at the Brigham doctor because it had obviously ruptured when we had gone to see him! My mom and Brandon's mom are very mad about it too!! It could have killed him!! I hated every time the door would open from the surgery room! Finally, the doctor came out and said it went well and he was able to get everything out, but he could tell that Brandon had been sick for awhile and that he will be in the hospital at least a few days!! I asked if he could tell how long it had been ruptured and he said there is no way to tell, but it had been for awhile! He finally came out of surgery/recovery just a little past 8:00. He said.. "I am so glad that pain is gone". I felt so bad, especially because I didn't do anything about it! We spent the whole day together. Happy Anniversary!!! :) At least it will be a memorable one, and we got to spend it together, which we wouldn't have if he would have gone back to his internship!!
His incision is about 6 inches vertical below his belly button. They had to cut it that way and bigger to get the abscess.
He had antibiotics and morphine pumping through his body like crazy. He was not himself at all.
It really worried me for a bit, but I just wanted to spend every second by his side!! I took Monday and Tuesday off. Then I figured that I needed to work a little if he was going to stay in the hospital longer. I was so stressed and could barely focus to work! All I could do was think about Brandon!! I called him and he said he was in a lot of pain and it made me feel so bad that I started to cry. That is when you know you truly love someone--is when you would gladly take their pain from them!
I came home and slept at night, but still didn't sleep very well. I would go back in the mornings and take walks with him. For the first day he had to just sip water, then he moved on to broth and jello. He wanted to die. It was heaven when he could eat normal food the next day if you can call hospital food normal food! :)
I thought he would be able to come home on wed morning, but nope.. white blood count just a little too high, so I was all excited to have him home on Thursday morning, Nope.. still to high! I was so frusterated. I called my mom and just started crying. Brandon was so not himself and I was so worried he wouldn't be normal again and stressed with him being there and work and I couldn't help but think of the hospital bills. Of course I want him to be okay, but still! We don't have that kind of money right now!
I spent the night with Brandon on Thursday night, cus Brandon said he got lonely at night. I felt so bad! Those hospital chairs SUCK to sleep in!
On Friday I went to work and traded my phone shifts because I thought for sure he would be coming home. I kept calling him and the doctor (sub doctor--the other one was on vacation by now) had not come in to check on him! It was like 3:00 and he had not come yet! I lost it and started getting so mad! I could barely make it through the end of work. He was ready to come home.. he finally felt better and was doing everything that he was supposed to. He was sick of being there and so was I. I wanted him to be home and be comfortable and in his own place. and I tried not to think of the bills, but I couldn't help it. Everyone was very surprised that he was still there. My sister in law told me to just be forceful and tell them "we want info". I was not going to pay for another day just because the dr was too busy to come see him and without any reason or explanation why we were still there. I went in after work and asked the nurse (very nicely) why the doctor hadn't come and what the heck we were waiting for to go home. I told her how frusterated I was. She said she would go call the doctor. She came back and said he wasn't answering, but would keep trying.By this time, Brandon's IV was falling out and I said "okay.. this is a sign.. we need to go home!" Nothing for awhile and a new nurse came in and I asked again.. she said she would call again and within 15 minutes she came back and said we were okay to go. It was 9:00 on Friday night! I was so excited!!!
We came home and Brandon said the last thing he wanted to do was get in a bed and he wanted a rocking chair to sit in. Tai had said we could come get theirs. Joe (her husband) is gone for the guard and Brandon of course couldn't lift, so me and Tai carried a reciner up 3 flights of stairs for Brandon! :) He finally had a good night sleep (kind of). We slept till 11:30 the next day because we were both so beat! :)
He kept throwing up and couldn't keep anything down! Poor kid! I felt so bad! My mom and Dad went and bought him some pedialyte and soda crackers. He wanted an ice cream and a jamba juice. He finally was able to eat it. Then the next day, he felt great! the incision is still a bit iffy, which is understandable, but the pain is gone and he feels great! Just a little slow! :)
I am just so glad that he is feeling so much better and he is starting to become himself again!! Hooray!! He says now he will know what my labor pains and being pregnant feels like? Hmmm, I don't know about that! :)
He will probably take the rest of this week off too to recover and then go back to his internship which extends it another 2 weeks. Oh well, I have got to have him home! We go see the doctor tomorrow and he will probably get his staples and stitches out. Everyone has been so great to help!!
What an unexpected experience, but I am so glad that everything worked out and that we have good insurance to cover it all!! (the surgery is covered through ER and we only have to pay 10 % of the stay). I learned that we need these experiences in our lives so that we can grow stronger and closer to our spouse and learn that our lives are not going to go on without any trials!
This is the almost back to normal Brandon! :)

jackson hole trip!
Hey everyone, it has been awhile since I posted anything! I think it is because I felt like I was being really boring. I wanted to wait to post stuff till I had some pictures to post! I finally have some stuff to post! This one might be a long one, but that is okay, at least it will have some pictures.
I went up to see Brandon a couple weeks ago. While I was there, we met Matt and Elise and went up to Jackson Hole and did some shopping. Here are a few pictures of us there. We had a lot of fun!!
We went back early and we had a dutch-oven dinner with Grandma and Grandpa. Sorry, forgot to take pictures. Brandon started not feeling very good. He said that his stomach hurt really bad!! We thought it was just indigestion and stomach problems, so we got him some medicine to help it. It started to feel better and I was so glad! I felt bad leaving him while he didn't feel very good! It always sucks to say goodbye!
It was good to have someone to ride with this time though! Thanks to Matt and Elise!!
P.S. Someone needs to show me how to post pictures! I am retarded! :)

FUN WEEKEND!!
We had a fun weekend. They just always seem to go a little faster than we want! :) It was even a long weekend!
I went to IKEA with my sisters and mom on Saturday. That is a fun store!! We spent way too long in there, but it was still lots of fun and got out of there not spending much money! I am waiting till I have a new house to be able to start over! :)
That night Brandon and I went to pirates. I have to say, it was good, but don't know if I thought it was excellent! I was confused the whole time! :) It was fun to be with Brandon though!!
It was so nice to have a day off and know that you are getting paid to enjoy relaxing and being with family. We just hung out and ate!! We started doing round-offs and kartwheels. WOW!! I haven't done those in years!! I am getting old! My shoulders started to hurt! I should do that more often!!
I started watching the Jazz, but left because I didn't want to watch them loose! Brandon is now starting his 4th week of his internship. He loves it. The therapist that he is working for is so laid back and easy to get a long with! Brandon has gotten to go to the country club golfing, to lunch, and go 115 mph in a BMW! He is loving the interaction that he gets with the patients and knows that he has definately chosen the right career!! That makes me glad, I just wish that the weekdays went by as fast as the weekends!!

WHOOPS!!
Okay, so maybe I post to often! Oh well.. get over it! :)
This last weekend I went up to see Brandon in Idaho. I left right after work on Thursday and stayed at my parents until Friday afternoon. It was so good to finally see Brandon. I was able to meet the therapist and everyone that Brandon works with. They all seem super cool! We are so grateful for the experience this allows Brandon to have!
On Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa took us 4-wheeling. We were almost at the end of the trail and I accidentally hit a rock in the trail. It flipped the 4-wheeler over to the side of the trail. It was enough to tip it over. I fell off and knew that the 4 wheeler was coming on top of me!! I tried to fall farther away, but the 4-wheeler still landed on my foot!! Brandon came around the corner and he said that he saw a big ball of dust and me on the ground. He jumped off the 4-wheeler and came to make sure I was okay. I was crying and told him to get the 4 wheeler off my foot! He pushed it off with a couple heaves. I was sick to my stomach and could feel the shock in my body, so Brandon took me over to lay down and put my feet up on the helmet. My arm hurt so bad. It felt broken! I was so worried. I laid there for awhile while Grandma tied a sling using my jacket. I opened my eyes and the sky was spinning! Grandpa came back up to see what had happened. He wondered how the heck Brandon had pushed that 4 wheeler up by himself!! It was either angels helping him or his adrenaline was going when he saw me under it!
I rode down on the back of Grandpa's 4 wheeler. The whole time down thinking how I was going to do everything with a dang broken arm and that I knew my insurance was not going to cover out of state! It hurt really bad, but decided to wait and see what happened after we put ice on it. We got home and I put ice on it and took some ibuprofen and it started feeling much better! I think i just bruised it really really bad!! Thank goodness!! I came out of it with a sore/bruised right arm, a huge raspberry bruise on my upper thigh/hip, scratches on my right leg, bruised shins where the 4 wheeler landed, and a story to tell! It was definately scary, but I am glad it was only that. It could have been much worse!
The weekend was fun! It sucks to come home alone though and say goodbye!! 2 weeks down and 8 to go!!

SURVIVAL
I am happy to let everyone know that I have survived being alone for the past week and a half!! Except for the weekend when Brandon came home! :) I definately don't like it, but I am doing it! It is hard to not have anyone to come home to and to be alone when you are so used to having someone else there all the time, but I try to keep myself busy so I don't think about it! I am feeling a little bit more independent! I am not sure if I like it or not! :)
One night I heard noises in my wall. It sounded like someone was in the attic. It freaked me out, so I called Brandon. We decided that it was a bird that got in the attic and was trying to get out! It kept me up ALL night! I was so mad! That was only the beginning! There are birds stuck in just about every wall possible! They aren't as loud as that one was, but they are still annoying! I feel bad and wish I could get them out, but I can't!! They somehow get in through the small holes in the siding and then can't figure out how to get out! :) Kind of funny!
I am planning on going up to Idaho for the weekend. I am so excited to see Brandon! I talk to him all the time, but it is not the same! I have every other Friday off from now till the end of June to go see Brandon.
Brandon did excellent in his classes! I am so dang proud of him!! He is amazing!
Well, I guess that is it for now! :) I hope that everyone is doing well!

saying goodbye
Guess it is time for a new post!
We never really have exciting news like everyone else!!
Brandon finally finished with his finals (6 of them) and was so relieved to be done.
He was so drained mentally, physically, emotionally! I felt so bad for him! He got all rested up and we headed for Brigham on Friday. We were so excited to get to go see Spiderman 3! It was okay.. not the best, but okay! Cara thinks that Brandon looks so much like Toby/spiderman that it is scary! :) I think that is funny!
On saturday we tried to spend as much time as possible together before Brandon had to leave to Idaho. Kind of hard when you have 3 kids to watch while making cookies, grocery shopping and doing other errands! Wow! Kids are a handful, but they sure are cute!
Brandon left for Idaho on Saturday evening. Yes, I did cry (a couple times.) It was so hard to say goodbye! IT SUCKS! I act like he is going forever and I won't see him for the whole 10 weeks! I am just so used to him always being there! He starts his internship today and is really excited about it! I am excited for him!
We have worked out a plan to switch off the weekends. I have some time to take off, so I have taken every other Friday off so I can go up there with him!! We talk constantly! I already miss him so much and it has only been 2 days! We will see how the driving thing works out! If anyone needs a road trip I am all for some driving company! :)
I stayed with my parents till sunday night and went home. It is so weird to go home without Brandon. I was not excited to spend the night alone, but I checked all the closets and places that a boogey man can hide, made sure I had my phone and a flashlight and went to bed and SURPRISE, I was fine!! I know that I can do it, it just sucks! I hope that it will make me stronger and I will surprise myself. Also, that it will make our love stronger.. Okay, I am done with the cheesy stuff! :)
We found out that Brandon's tuition for this semester is half of what we thought! What a relief!! I can breathe now! :)
I hope that everything is good for everyone!

He was so drained mentally, physically, emotionally! I felt so bad for him! He got all rested up and we headed for Brigham on Friday. We were so excited to get to go see Spiderman 3! It was okay.. not the best, but okay! Cara thinks that Brandon looks so much like Toby/spiderman that it is scary! :) I think that is funny!
On saturday we tried to spend as much time as possible together before Brandon had to leave to Idaho. Kind of hard when you have 3 kids to watch while making cookies, grocery shopping and doing other errands! Wow! Kids are a handful, but they sure are cute!
Brandon left for Idaho on Saturday evening. Yes, I did cry (a couple times.) It was so hard to say goodbye! IT SUCKS! I act like he is going forever and I won't see him for the whole 10 weeks! I am just so used to him always being there! He starts his internship today and is really excited about it! I am excited for him!
We have worked out a plan to switch off the weekends. I have some time to take off, so I have taken every other Friday off so I can go up there with him!! We talk constantly! I already miss him so much and it has only been 2 days! We will see how the driving thing works out! If anyone needs a road trip I am all for some driving company! :)
I stayed with my parents till sunday night and went home. It is so weird to go home without Brandon. I was not excited to spend the night alone, but I checked all the closets and places that a boogey man can hide, made sure I had my phone and a flashlight and went to bed and SURPRISE, I was fine!! I know that I can do it, it just sucks! I hope that it will make me stronger and I will surprise myself. Also, that it will make our love stronger.. Okay, I am done with the cheesy stuff! :)
We found out that Brandon's tuition for this semester is half of what we thought! What a relief!! I can breathe now! :)
I hope that everything is good for everyone!
