I love my children


I probably don't tell my children enough. I love them with all my heart. I wanted to write down all that happened so that I don't have to return 50 phone calls and texts so I thought this would be a great way to reach all of you. We had a big scare on Thursday. J.D. our youngest had a Terrible asthma attack. His oxygen levels were dangerously low and we could of lost him if I wouldn't of rushed him to my doctor when I did, which the thought of that has made me physically sick. The What if I wouldn't of haunts me. We spent 9 hours between the doctor's office and emergency room trying to get him stablized and keeping him stable. It was so scarey and I have never felt so helpless. We had to have him on oxygen to transport him to primary children's hospital and even with that my doctor was very nervous. He had never witnessed such a bad attack. By the way I have the greatest doctor in the world. I am pretty sure no other Doctor would do all that he did for my son, even Primary children's hospital were amazed at all he did. If it wasn't for him?? He loves J.D. so much!! His name is Dr. Darrin Smith and he is the greatest. Along with the asthma he had 103 temperature, was profusely throwing up, couldn't talk and couldn't stand up.

Thanks to my wonderful husband who is always by side. He is a wonderful husband and father and I am so grateful for that. I am also grateful to my Father in Heaven who was looking over J.D. through the whole ordeal and who knew that he has a greater mission on earth to fullfill. I want all of you who are reading this to take time today to hug your mate and your children and tell them you love them. There is no greater thing on earth as family and sometimes we need to stop in our busy lives and take time for what is really important. I love all of you. Thanks for all of your prayers!

Aunt Jo,
What a sweet tribute to your family. I don't think there has ever been any doubt how much you love all of them but how tender that you put it in writing. You are such a sweet mom and wife!

We are so glad J is alright. He gave us all such a scare. We couldn't go on without his sassy and silly ways!

Just so you know... I love YOU very much. My life is SO much better because of you and your wonderful family! I am so blessed to call you my AUNT!

Have a happy day!
Krista

That is so scary! I have hopes that my little one will grow out of her asthma. I can't imagine having to deal with it as long as you have. You're a trooper. I hope all is well now!
