THE UGLY

So I think we started out 2014 with the Ugly.  So hopefully that means we won't have any more excitement for awhile.  Jacob has Pneumonia but is much better.  Then there is Joey.  POOR JOEY!!!  Jacob was carrying Joey to help get him in the car( so we could go unfreeze grandmas pipes) and he tripped on his pants and fell with Joey.  Joey whacked his head on the wood floor.  So after about 4 hours in the Er and leaving the Diesel Excursion running.  We finally went home.  They did a CT and said everything was fine.  To just watch him since he had a concussion.  Well the next morning we were woke up by a phone call from the ER Dr. that the radiologist went and read the ct on a big screen instead of on his phone and found  a fracture.  So after a call the pediatrician we took off to Des Moines.  The sent us to a pediatric eye Dr. first and then the pediatrician.  Joey got all checked out again and back home.  Then on Thursday Joey's forehead was swollen very big again so he got another CT scan.  Finally joey eye is opened back up and he is feeling much better.  We have to go back to the Eye Dr. and get another CT scan Tues.  Joey has had more CT scans than anyone out of all my family members!!!  I will have to say he is a very good patient lays there and does everything just like they want.

So then we also woke up to a dead calf this week (which is a loss of over a $1000.), Jeremy somehow manage to get the tractor and haybuster sliding down the hill into a tree.  So it has just been crazy here!!!  But like I said you always have the good, bad  and the UGLY.  LIFE GOES ON!!!  We are very thankful Joey is healing and hoping for a good eye report.
