So things are going well with the pump and it seems to be working. So that is awesome. Just a little update since there are some things I don't want to forget. Hayden's Primary is handing out the monthly scripture to all the kids and we have been working memorize them. The one we are working on now is D&C 1:38. However when Hayden says it it takes on a whole new meaning! "What I the Lord have smokin' I have smokin". Oh, just love it. I was trying to correct it but we are still saying it the wrong way! Sure puts a few things in a different light.
Also Hayden has had some obsession with having a little sister. So when we go places or are around little and baby girls Hayden will say that they are his sisters. Sunday there was an empty car seat by our coats and he asked where the baby was. I said that I didn't know. Just then they came and he told her mom that he has a baby sister! I told her that he didn't and she asked if I was pregnant. I said no but he really wants a little sister. So we walk away and he asks me for a little sister and I told him to ask his dad, which he did! So apparently there is something to that dream I had before Hayden was born! We will have to see if we can get him a sibling.
Things are going well here. I am excited that spring is here. I really want to go and plant a ton of stuff! We have all these flower beds around our house and in the four corners of the yard. No sprinkler system for those yet so I will have to stick to my pots for now.
We have had the opportunity to see two baptisms this month. Hayden's cousin and a neat lady from our ward. Hayden asked Jared after his cousins baptism if he would baptize him. Jared said when you are 8 I will. He was okay with that. Then Saturday we went to the adult baptism and Hayden asked if this was for his baptism! It was so cute that he wanted to get baptized as he puts it "like Jesus". I guess this is what the scriptures mean to become as a little child.
Hayden goes around the house and plays while singing his favorite primary songs. I just love to hear his sweet little voice singing those special songs. One of his favorites no is My Life is a Gift. It sure brings a spirit of peace when he sings.
Speaking of singing...yesterday at work we had some pretty mad people. Later that day a drug name inspired one of the Pharmacists to sing cum-bi-ya or however you spell it and we decided that when a patient is upset we should all break out into song and sing cum-bi-ya to help calm them down. Maybe that is only funny if you were there or work in a pharmacy. It would have been great to try it out on one particular customer that was mad at the start then complained and of course said we did all these mean things to her. I wonder what she would have done if we all started singing! I really think that life is better in song anyway! If life were a musical it would be so much happier and funny and peaceful!
So I leave you with a song cum-bi-ya my Lord, cum-bi-ya.

Hayden's ITB Surgery
So on Wednesday the 12th of Jan we went to PCMC to have an Intrathecal Baclofen Pump surgically implanted into Hayden to help with his spasticity and hopefully avoid or prevent the need for ortho surgeries. It went well but was a long three days in the hospital. Every time someone would come into the room Hayden would say "You don't want to touch me" and get upset and then would be in pain. Or if he laughed too hard. He kept asking Dr's and Nurse's if they had seen Toy Story 4 or if they liked sausage. And if they didn't like sausage then he didn't pay any attention to them. It was pretty funny. I think I now have the record on how many times you can see Toy Story 1 2 and 3 in any time period. I may need some therapy for that, I am not sure. We had some ups and downs of course and I am wondering how many sets of sheets we will go through before his tummy is finally calm. Hard to get medicine in nd food that is somewhat good for him. He has a four inch incision on his abdomen and a small one on his spine but the spine seems to be more painful. He seems to be getting better every day though. He really is doing well and we are very blessed. Thanks to everyone who checked on Hayden, prayed for us and who helped me out at work as well. We really appreciate it.

October
So it has been almost a year since have updated this! Hayden is doing well but grew a little to fast this past August and is now throwing us into a new world. I kinda thought that I had everything down, injections 3-4 times a year followed by serial casting and physical therapy. We are now looking at surgery. Not sure when or which one but we have to do something drastic to help him make a difference.
Hayden is in 4 year old preschool and likes it. Well, doesn't like going but likes being there. He still loves quoting things and his latest is "The Princess and the Frog" he goes around asking if you want to kiss the frog or uses his new pick-up line "pretty nice sherrie".
One of his cousins just got married in the Idaho Falls Temple and we were able to go up. He got to sit in the Temple Foyer for a little while and did not want to leave. I think he knew what a special place it was. He told his cousing that she looked like a princess and she had such a beautiful dress! It was cute. He kept trying to say that he was the prince. It was funny. Then the next morning he saw the wedding cake on the table and said to me "mom, should we go over by the cake so I can taste it?" We were all laughing so hard. He kept saying how everything was so delicious.
My dad ended up in the hospital for a 4-way by-pass and I had Hayden make a card for him. Just a little get well card but Hayden said no it was a Valentines card. So we had to draw and color in hearts. I figured that would work since it was his heart that needed to get well. He is doing better every day and should go home soon. Maybe tomorrow. They were just going in to see why he was coughing so much and not able to sleep and the ended up cracking him open. Anyway, glad he went and can start getting better.
So a lot has happened this year so far, zoo visits, hair cuts, easter egghunts, a birthday, singing with Elvis, supergoof time (super hero), pirate dress up from school, fun in the pool and sprinklers, etc. It has been another busy and fun year so far. Hopefully I can remember how do to the slide show and get some pics up there. I don't think that our fun is over yet, I hope the rest of this year is happy, fun and magical for Hayden. He sure is a blessing and miracle in my life and keeps me on my toes. So glad he a part of our family.
