Truly Sad Update.

Have you noticed how much someones life can change in such little time?
If not, now you will.

Tuesday-
We were up at 6:00A.M., as usually. We ate breakfast and split up.
Joshua coughed all through out breakfast, so immediately after we finished, my Father went to call the doctors.
My Mother had to be at the hospital by 7 A.M. So both of my parents were out of the house around 6:30A.M. They didn't say bye, they just left. That really worried me.
Mara, Maria, Gabrielle, Emma and I all continued to get ready for the day.
At 7 Kaytlyn took Mara, our neighbor Josh, and I to school.
Gabrielle and Emma had gotten started on dishes, and making their lunch.
Maria left the house to catch the bus around 7:25.
Joshua and Samuel were home sick in the family room all day.
Gabrielle and Emma leaft for school just before 8.

As the day went on I found out that my Mothers surgery for the most part went well, but that she lost more blood than most people, so instead of staying one night, she has to stay two.
I also came to find out that it seems as if Joshua and Samuel have the H1N1 virus, also known as "Swine Flu".

After school I had a Dentist Appointment.
To my surprise, they decided while I was there that they would pull my tooth.
"Looks like you might have a wisdom tooth coming in about 3 years, so we should pull this tooth." -Dr.
"But that's not for 3 years? So do we have to do it now?" -Leah
"Well it's numb, so why not?" -Dr.
"Sigh... Rip it out." -Leah.
I just love the dentist.

At home dinner was brought to us by two of our neighbors. The food was delicious! I was sooo hungry that I couldn't hold back from eating. That was not very smart.
The food was so delicious. But it only made my mouth bleed for the rest of the night.

Hyrum called and came to pick the kids up to go cleaning at security metrics.
They all went, and from what I heard, they argued a bit, but nothing major, just basic sibling stuff.

After a long day I went to shower, after I got ready for bed I went to the kitchen for a drink. Peter had recently gotten home so he was at the table eating.
This is how our conversation went...
Peter: "Have they (Joshua and Samuel) been watching movies all day??!"
Leah: "Yes... Well no, they spent about 45 minutes inbetween movies trying to decide what movie to watch next."
Peter: "Ugh, if they don't sleep they aren't going to get better."


Wednesday-
My Daddy-o stayed the night with my Mother, she had a painful night and needed drugs to help settle her down. Around 9 A.M. she was walking around a bit, and in a little less pain.

Joshua and Samuel are still really sick. They won't really sleep.

Since my Father didn't show up in the morning for breakfast, as we expected, we didn't get up until 6:25, 25 minutes later than we normally get up.

The morning went by way fast, I was at school sooner than I realized.
Erin (My sister-in-law, Michaels Wife) was nice enough to help out.
She took Maria to her 9:00 ortho. appointment.
And brought me medicine.
After school Mara and I walked to the Dentist.
Yes I went to the dentist twice in a row. Not the most exciting thing.
Although I did tell the Dr. I enjoyed spending my free time in his Dentist office, that's why I came back, even after he unexpectedly pulled my tooth out.
Once again my face is fat. Oh the joy, I'm starting to get used to this.

When I got home my Father had been here, he stopped by to grab some stuff, I only saw him for a few moments before he was off to Law School.
I love my parents and all they do for me, and my family.

I hope and pray that my Sweet Mother can have the strength to make it through, as painless as possible.
And that Joshua and Samuel will be able to get better, because I know they could.
I really hope my little sisters can be smart, and make it without getting sick.
I am so thankful for my older siblings, and for what a major roll they are playing in helping their younger siblings out.

Genevieve, Hyrum, Kaytlyn, and Erin have been a lot of help, thank you!!
