This last week pretty much like the last, appointment, appointment to more appointments. Hunter's doing really good.
Tues, March 10, ended up being a pretty good day. no therapy, no Dr. appointments, and his teacher called and had meetings so no school. (yet we still stayed busy)
We found out Jessica and Jared are having a GIRL!! So I guess the can't name her JUNTER after all. Hunter's got to be sad about that one.
Wed, March 11, Started the day off with blood work at Mesa View, which they have upped his dose the full to half to half to full. Good thing they write everything down for us so we can keep it on the fridge. Then off to Physical Therapy were Duane decided Hunter needed to go 5 days a week, Hunter compromised and says he'll go 4.
then after therapy, off to school.
Thurs. March 12, While I went to St. George to get Jessica so we could bottle more meat Duane took Hunter to all his appointment, even school!!
Friday, March 13, Hunter gets a visitor Justin (Jessica's brother in Law) He and Hunter hit it off pretty good at the wedding and are good friends. He got to come and visit for the weekend. He went with Hunter the Physical Therapy, Therapy took a lot longer but the two of them seemed to have fun. Not sure about the people who work there but they were. (Just kidding)
Hunter wasn't quite thinking today, he actually brought out his air soft guns so him and Justin could go out back and shot army men. Then Hunter and Justine went for a ride on the Rhino, but Hunter is afraid to go in the dirt with it, in fear he will tip over. And of course Alex saw it as an opportunity for war, Air soft gun War. Alex and Sam against Justin and Hunter. Let's say Justin got Alex good and Alex really made Hunter mad. So then Hunter stayed home while Alex, Sam, and Justin went for a ride.
Friday, Evening Jessica and I took a break from bottling meat the take the boys bowling. Calab, Sam and Alex left in one car and as the rest of us went to get in another car an air soft gun came out the window and was ready to shoot, Hunter saw this and decided to run. Well we found out Hunter can't run yet. He feel flat on his face and bruised up his already hurt knee really good. I'm sure the blood thinners didn't help with the bruising. It was so funny watching the boys bowl. It was cosmic bowling and they let us have bumper pads because of Hunter's strength and Justin has never been bowling before, so we only thought it was far to ask. It was fun to watch. Hunter would go to bowl he would bring his arm back and about the time he would be by his side his whole arm would just fall. He has so much work to do to become strong. But in all we had fun, we followed that up by Hunter getting to shoot of his pinewood derby car rocket engine he created. Our neighbors must love us.
Saturday, March 14, Duane and I have been married 22 years!!! Hunter and Justin stayed home most of the day watched movies and played video games. While Duane, Jessica and I went to the St. George Temple where Brittney was going for her first time. She gets married on the 21st. When we got home we got things cleaned up from bottling meat, and played board games with the boys. We were all tired thought we all went to bed early (10) but come to find out today Hunter says they stayed up.
Sunday, March 15, Justin's dad came and got him early (8) but he went into to wake Hunter up to tell him goodbye, Hunter actually got up and stayed up. Got showered and ready for church and gone to church before I had to even remind him what time it was. He beat Alex and I to church. He passed the sacrament today. He said he got a little tired but it was good seeing him being able to do what he believes in.
Monday, March 16, Had foot Dr. appointment this morning. We are cleared unless things don't change in the next 4 week. While we were at this appointment with the help of nurse in the Office she was finally able to get some answers for me on the IVC Filter that I have been trying to get answered for over a week now. We are scheduled next Monday to go down to Mountain View Hospital to have it removed. It's suppose to be an out patient procedure. We also found out the reason we have not heard back on the appointment for the neurologist is because the one Dr. Anson wants us to go to is not on the Insurance list. So now we have to wait to here from them to see what we do next. I keep telling myself one day everything will end.
After this we ran over to Grandma and Grandpa Laub's for a minute and saw Grandpa's awesome chicken coop. And to return Great Grandma Leavitt's pressure cookers we borrowed. Then we had Therapy and school and then Homework.
Wow!! and now we start another week...

Another week
I heard some people think Hunter is still in the Hospital. He's Home and he's doing so well. His mind seems to be the same Hunter. He gets angry easier and we joke with him that we are going to send him to anger management school. He's just so frustrated that he has no con troll over his life. Everyone is telling him where to go what to do etc.... I totally understand what he feel. I am so thankful for the miracle of Health he has, but I too will be happy when life is back to normal.
But he's doing really well and seems to just need to build strength and become stronger and more balanced so he can return back to normal school.
Feb 28, March 1, : Hunter gets to stay with Jessica and Jared and Jessica got him to eat almost 1/2 of a slice of french toast. Yeah! On Sunday we meet up for the child exchange (ha ha) at Uncle John and Aunt Dorea's House. And what a wonderful feast they had waiting for us. Thank you so much.
March 2, Monday, took Hunter into Mesa View for blood work due to blood thinners he is on, and of course new computer system so it took much longer than planed 1 1/2 hrs latter we found out his numbers were too high and they have him off medication until Thursday and he'll start on a half of dose.
First day of school for Hunter. He gets 5 hrs a week with a teacher and we do this at 1:50 Mon - Thurs. it doesn't sound like much but they do accomplish allot and he is tired with that short amount of time.
March 3, Tuesday : Took the day to visit Great Grandma Leavitt, He enjoys going over and visiting with her. I think Grandma Leavitt is still stronger than Hunter. and then of course we had School. After School we had another Dr. appointment to find out about the MRI on his shoulder. Found out everything is okay and he can start therapy. So then we went to Therapy to set up time.
March 4, Wednesday - Went to Las Vegas for Dr. Appointments, this time with the ones that monitored his brain pressure in the TICU. Hunter needed to us the rest room after they took us back in the office so while he was out of the room the Dr. comes in and Hunter's gone, I told her where he was and she said, "He's walking?" she was so surprise that he was doing so well. The other Dr. in the Office that also helped with Hunter was also excited how well he has recovered with no damage from their view, and said we never had to come see them again. However they are setting us up with the Neurologist for our next appointment to see about the seizure medication to see if we can start taking him off it.
March 5, Thursday - Hunter started Physical Therapy today, he did really good, he listens and try's everything they tell him too. unlike with his dad. He doesn't even argue with them. and the we were off the Mesa View for another blood test, and of course they couldn't find us in the computer again and we had to do the registration all over again. so another day of long registration to wait in a 2nd waiting room for the test. Test was good and he'll start back up on 1/2 medication tonight.
After Blood test we were off to the eye Dr. we just can't get enough of this wonder fun. Hunter's eyes have changed 4 steps. not sure if that is normal or if it's because of the accident. I'm so tired I forget to ask some questions at times.
March 6, Friday - Kinda a quieter day. No Dr. Appointment, Hunter and I went to do Great Grandma Leavitt's hair and then took her for a long ride to Mesquite to see what has changed in the landscaping of the hills. Grandma just wanted to get out of the house for a while. We enjoyed the ride and visit with her.
And then of course he had school because we missed because of Dr. Appointments the days before.
Jessica and Jared come to visit.
March 7, Saturday, No school.... No homework..... No Dr. appointments..... But of course everyone had to go outside and pull our really big big weeds and tiny ones too, that grew so well while we were gone. It was so nice to see it get done. and I'm sure Jessica a Jared were glad they came to visit and help out. Hunter help was taking our garbage to a bigger garbage and was our water boy (somethings never change)
March 9, Monday, The weekend was kind of stressful. I think everyone was so tired that all we did was annoy each other, and too much noise going on that any little chance we have had today we have been taking naps. It's almost that everyone has hit a block wall.
We started the day off with Dr. appointment for his foot, he didn't get cleared thought thing look pretty good they want to see him one more time next Monday.
Next was Physical Therapy, a trip to Grandma Leavitt's and Grandma and Grandpa Laub's. and back to Mesquite for School. By 4:00 we had dinner and back to a nap before bed time.
But he's doing really well and seems to just need to build strength and become stronger and more balanced so he can return back to normal school.
