Weird Day and Chick-fil-A

This morning we had a new experience. When Bryce woke up and I went to get him, I noticed that his clothes were wet. I figured that his feeding tube had come unattached from the unit like it has a time or two before. It's a mess and a pain, but no big deal. Well, I checked, and it was still attached. As I looked closer, I noticed that his button had come completely out of his stomach. Ugh!!! I hit panic mode momentarily, but then remembered what I needed to do. Ends up that the balloon that typically holds it in had gotten a hole in it and deflated, making it able to slip out of the hole. Luckily I had a spare one and the surgeon had shown me how to put it in at our last appointment. It was actually very easy and now I know I don't have to be so scared about it happening, but it sure made me nervous this morning!

Then this afternoon the cleaning ladies came at 11, so after picking the kindergartners up, we went to Chick-fil-A for lunch. We had Trevor with us also. The kids had a great time but the place was pretty full. It was kind of tough trying to keep Bryce and Annalise entertained while we were there. Luckily Annalise fell asleep and slept for a while. Even though Bryce doesn't do well inside the play area, he loves watching the other kids while they play. The problem was that all of the places near the play area where he would have been able to see in, were taken. We sat as close as we could, but he still couldn't see. Once one of the tables became available we switched and he was much happier being able to enjoy the kids.

As we were leaving, a police car pulled up right in front of the entrance. The police officer got out, went in one door and came out the other. He then got back into his car and drove off. I thought that was a little strange, but didn't think too much of it. We just went on over to our van and started getting in. Pretty soon the same police man came back, and stopped in the same place. As he got out another police car pulled up just a little further back and both police men went into Chick-fil-A. Shortly after they came out escorting a teenage looking boy and helped him into the back of the second police car. As they were driving off, I saw a third police car that had parked a little further back and still had the officer in it. I'm not sure what was going on, but luckily it all stayed calm and Chick-fil-A is still a safe and happy place to go!

Wow, what a day! Very scary on all accounts. The curious part of me just goes crazy when stuff like that happens and I don't know the detail. Just call me Gladys Cravitz.

Jodi, played catch-up on your posts today! You are a wonderful mother. I sit in awe at all you are learning (as a mom and as a family) taking care of little Bryce. I do hope this New Year is full of wonderful surprises for you all! (My girls would be interested to hear about John's preparing the roosters...we listen to the Little House series on audio book and try and envision what living on the frontier and pioneer life was like...the closest they come to is Uncle Matt's chickens in southest Provo!)
God bless you1
