Johnson Family Christmas Party

Christmas was a little different this year,

Richard & Jean are on a mission in Richmond VA.

We were able to visit with them through Skype.

Visit with Grandma Betty

Reagan likes to call Grandma by her first name...Betty.

We love going to see Grandma Betty!

This time we took Jennie and Logan with us.

We even got Grandma Betty to make a silly face!

Ellie at the Hospital

Ellie started getting sick on Saturday night.

We thought it was just the common flu.

She was throwing up and having yucky diapers for 4 days straight.

We took her into the Doctor to find out if something else was wrong, besides the flu.

They asked if she had tears...I hadn't even noticed.

Well it turns out that in all the crying Ellie did, there were no tears.

They drew some blood and found out that Ellie was really dehydrated.

So Dr. Barrera sent us to McKay-Dee Hospital.

They hooked Ellie up to an IV, drew some more blood and did a few more tests.

They got the vomiting and diarrhea to stop, so they sent us home.

Ellie got spoiled before they had to put the IV in.

Ellie loves that huge teddy bear, she carries it every where.

It was so sad to hear her cry!

It took so long to get the IV in, and she didn't even have tears.

All the crying wore Ellie out.

Randy trying to get Ellie to eat something.

After a long day, he got her to eat a yogurt.

We went home thinking that everything was ok.

For another 4 days we it was off and on being sick.

We took her back in the day after Christmas to be checked.

They did more tests, blood and stool tests.

They found out that she had C-Diff and some of her levels were elevated.

They had us give her these pills for 10 days.

We tried everything to get her to take the pills.

(They told us to try chocolate or root-beer flavored things.)

I tried mashing it, dissolving it, and shoving it down her throat.

The only thing that worked was tricking her with Chocolate and shoving it down her throat.

She still gags every time I give her Chocolate Chips.

I hope she isn't scarred for life!

Reagan's 4th Birthday

Reagan had a hard time waiting for her birthday.

There were a lot of sad days up until the big day. (Reagan kept asking why she never got a birthday. December was a long month to Reagan.)

Reagan's first present of the day.

Reagan in her new outfit!

Reagan wanted to use her lady bug pillowpet as a decorating for the party!

We made Lady Bug puppets/snack bags.

The girls making bracelets.

Adi and Taige making their bracelets.

Reagan isn't a big fan of cake, just the frosting!

I wanted to skip the cake, but she insisted on having cake.

I don't think she even tasted the cake, just FROSTING!!

After the friend party we headed to McDonald's for lunch!

Reagan wanted to get a Happy Meal and play at the play place!

We had the family over for cake and ice cream later that night.

Reagan opening more presents!

Reagan was such a happy girl!!

Reagan got a new chair from Grandpa & Grandma Wyatt.

Reagan sat in it the rest of the night!!

My friend Sue Jackson made this beautiful cake for Reagan!

Reagan even ate the cake, it was CHOCOLATE!!
