We are finally home but we have several Doctor appt's.for a couple of months-up to a year. We have learned alot about Pulmonary Embolism they are very rare in kids and most kids pass away from them because the symptoms are pushed aside or thought to be something else. we have learned that a soft ball size of kalebs right lung has died but the lung will regrow that part eventually. but for now we will be on blood thinners for awhile and can return to school hopefully DEC 14 for partial days. we also learned that the blood clot traveled up through his leg and passed through his heart then stopped in his lung so we are blessed it stopped where it did and not in his heart or it would have been a different story I would be telling. so sometimes are blessings are there during tough times we just don't know tell we are out of it and find out the whole story. we are counting our blessings at the end of this eventful week and weekend.

We are Back....
Unfortunately we are Back at primary children's Hospital yesterday poor kaleb was having a lot of back pain and trouble breathing . we tried everything we could think of to make it better but nothing was working so at 11:00pm we decided I should take him to the E.R. and I am glad i listened to my gut feeling to bring him all the way to Primary instead of just the American fork Hospital. For those who don't know Primary children's is about a hour drive from our house and I felt so bad because every little bump in the road would just hurt him so bad. he cried all the way to the hospital. we finally got here and the whisked him off to get he checked out before i could get him all signed in. After a couple of test they found out he has a Blood Clot in his right lung and they Admitted him to I.C.U and started blood thinners. we have heard how they are shocked he got a blood clot because this rarely happens to kids.
He Has been able to become stable and he is not in as much pain thanks to Morphine and all the other meds he is on but unfortunately the blood thinner is a shot he get's every 12 hours in his stomach.
sometimes it is so hard to be a parent and watch your kids in so much pain and can not do anything about it.
