Surgery Update!

Thanks to everyone who has helped us out this past few weeks with my surgery. I have the best family, friends and ward that have helped so much. I've had lost of visitors, emails, dinners, help cleaning and I couldn't have survived without everyone. Thanks so much.

Well both surgeries went better than expected. My gall bladder was out with-in 25 minutes. I had an incredible doctor. Too bad my recovery in the hospital was 6 hours. Poor Tyler. My stomach hurt for a few days, but healed quicker than I thought it would. By Sunday I was able to take a quick walk around our building and go eat Sunday dinner at my parents house. On Monday I had my uvular tissue removed. This surgery also went well. They didn't have to remove as much tissue as they thought. I was lucky to go to one of the best doctors in the country for this surgery. They thought I would be on bed rest after this surgery, but I wasn't! I was at least able to get up on my own to go to the bathroom and about 2 other times per day. Which still sounds horrible, but it was better than I thought.

Sunday following the surgeries I woke up feeling great. I took a very long walk around the whole complex this time! I was also able to go to Sunday dinner with the Masons. Late that night I started to get chest pains and called my doctor. He told me I had to go to the ER just in case something was wrong. After a CT scan and a ekg they ruled out anything serious. They put me on oxygen for a few hours and decided that since I was in bed all week I just wasn't getting enough oxygen. They gave me a few exercises that I get to do every few hours to help with my breathing and then sent me home. I am so thankful that it was nothing serious!

So I am doing pretty good. Better than they expected. I still have to be in bed most of the day because of my chest pains, but its not to bad. I also can't sit down at all. My stomach is completely better and I can eat what I want without it hurting. That is the best part. Next week I slowly ease back into working and in about 2 weeks I should be feeling better than ever.

I have the most amazing husband in the world. He has done things for me in the past week that no husband should have to do. But he does it willingly with a smile. He has made these past few weeks so much easier for me! I love him sooooooo much!!!!

Girls Night Out

Left to Right: Me, Coco
Staci, Des and Syd, Brynn and Kalle, Becca, April

Saturday I was able to see a lot of my College friends. It is amazing how quick time flies and it was so much fun to catch up on our busy lives. Most of us are married and starting are families. Becca just got back from a mission and Coco is living in Salt Lake with a fun interior design job. Everyone seems so happy. It was great that we were all able to get together and gave some girl time. Hopefully we can keep this up a few times a year!! I love these girls!

Moab Pictures

Moab Trip

Tyler and I went to Moab with his family. It was a much needed trip before my surgeries! The first day we just walking main street and looked at the shops and went swimming. Saturday we went RIVER RAFTING!!! Now the rapids were not very high, but the scenery was incredible. We had a blast laughing and splashing. That night we hiked up to delicate arch. It was nice to hike while the sun was going down because it was not quite as hot. On Sunday we drove to Dead Horse Point. It was beautiful! A nice quick trip!

Surgery!

After about a million doctors visits and lab tests they finally know when I am so tired, get headaches all the time, am nauseas, and dizzy. I have gall bladder disease. Who knew that all those symptoms could relate to my gall bladder. When I found out I didn't even know what a gall bladder did. Well I guess it takes care of the waste in your digestive system. Luckily your body does just fine without it. So they are taking it out on July 13th at American Fork hospital. Thanks so Sherrie who suggested I get tested for it. With out her I would still not know what was wrong with me.

Thats not all the good news ;) I also get to have another surgery on July 16th. I have vuvlar vestibilites and am getting part of my vuvlar tissue out. If you don't know what that is you probably don't want to :) But if you are really curious feel free to google it!

Also all the tests they were doing for my miscarriages are over. As far as they can tell nothing is wrong with me. This is very good news. On a spiritual note I think Heavenly Father knew that my body was not ready to carry a baby. Tyler and I have seen so many blessings in the past year since we have been trying. Hopefully after my surgeries and I am feeling better I will be able to hold a pregnancy. I am so thankful for a Heavenly Father who knows me better than I know myself and who knows what Tyler and I need. I look forward to the day I can be a mom, but until then I am enjoying life.

Kaia Sperry

Rob and Janei'a are so excited to have a new baby girl, Kaia Sperry. She was born June 26 and was 7 lbs 13 oz. She is a clone of her older brother Cade when he was born, but it will be interesting to see what she looks like as she gets a little older. Her eyes are a lot bluer than Cade's were so we are hoping they stay blue. Isn't she a doll!

Who Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do All of That

I am proud to say I saw this on another persons blog, but I have used a lot of the information so I thought I would pass it along!

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO.

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave
emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST Subject: Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find
yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an
emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this
number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.


SECOND Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may co me in handy
someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car
and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone
from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and
have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the
mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having
to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of
miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote"
for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).


THIRD Subject: Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys
*3370# your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will
show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge
your cell next time.


FOURTH How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following
digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone
gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code.They will then be able to block
your handset so even if the thief changes he SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably
won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't
use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people
stealing mobile phones.

And Finally....FIFTH
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for
411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a<>telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even
more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply
dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at
all. Program this into your cell phone now.

Ready for the 4th of July!

After seeing how cute Kelly's new blog is I was inspired to try and make one of my own. So if anyone needs the directions on how to do it let me know. But beware it can take a little while the first time you do it. Can you tell that I am excited for 4th of July?!?! Now I now its about a month away, but I think that is one of my favorite holidays. I love our Sperry family tennis reunion, swimming, the bbq with Masons, , and fireworks! I can't wait. And the family will have a new baby girl for this years holiday, Janei'a and Robs baby will come just in time.

Sunny Cali

California here we come!

Tyler and I just got back from a perfect vacation. We went to sunny California. We stayed at my best friends house in San Clemente area and had a blast. The first day started out with a 6:30am flight, but don't worry the day got better. We spent the next 9 hours at Disneyland. It was a blast. I have to admit that Buzz Light-Year really is the coolest ride. We also enjoyed Tower of Terror, Splash Mountain, Soaring over California, and Space Mountain. The best part about Disneyland was that we never waited over 20 minutes for a ride. Isn't that incredible! We thought so. Although Disneyland was a blast I think I can wait until my kids are old enough to enjoy it to go back.

We also were able to go to Six Flag Magic Mountain. Now not to disappoint all you Disneyland Lovers, but Magic Mountain is sooooooo much better! The roller coasters there are by far the best I have ever been on. Especially the X ride and Deja-Vu. Those 2 rides hands down are so scary. We also got lucky at Magic Mountain and didn't wait over 30 mins for the rides. So let me give you some advice. Go to California in May!!

Other then those 2 adventures we spent the rest of the time on the beach. Tyler and I learned how to surf and Tyler will tell you that was the best part of the trip. It was a great rush. Don't worry we did have wet suits on most of the time. Along with surfing, we got buggy board, body surf and just lay out on the beach. Talk about relaxing.

Thanks so much to Jamie and Andrew for letting us stay at their apt and letting us use their car. We had such a great time playing with them. This was a much needed vacation.
