More Hip trouble in AZ

On Tuesday, March 25th I planned a THREE TEMPLE tour (Desert Peak, Saratoga Springs, Taylorsville).  When I got to the Desert Peak Temple (pictured above) at 8:45 am, I looked at a text.  

Brendon:  Amanda is going to have surgery on her hip again today.  She doesn't want to ask for your help, but she needs it if you are available.  They are going to replace the replacement ! 

I was so so concerned !  Apparently while she was SITTING at work the day before (Monday), her hip had dislocated AGAIN !!  Another ambulance ride, more emergency rooms.... !   She had been in the hospital all Monday afternoon, evening, and overnight.  They couldn't get it put back in the socket, so they were going to operate. (They ended up doing the operation on Wednesday instead of Tuesday).  

I quickly went it and did some initiatory work in the Desert Peak Temple, and then drove down to Saratoga Springs (the back way through Eagle Mountain).  While in the Saratoga Springs parking lot, I was able to have a conference call with Roger and Amanda.  It was decided that I would get the quickest flight I could out of Salt Lake, so I could help in Arizona.  I made the reservation for a 5 pm flight, and then headed home as quickly as possible to pack, and head BACK to Salt Lake for my flight. 

 

He doesn't look too excited to see me - but he was !! 

We had fun in the hot tub

And the pool 

Manda came home from the hospital all better on Wednesday evening.  They took out the stupid hip joint they had put in her, and replaced it with the same one they had done for her first hip replacement surgery in October 2023.  A dual Mobility hip - Why didn't they use this in the beginning for her second hip replacement on February 5th?  Who knows.... :*(  She said the minute she stepped on it, she knew that THIS fix was just like her first one.  They didn't need to re-drill/cement the rod in her femur this time, just unscrew the ball, and put the dual mobility ball on.   

While down there in AZ I was able to go with Cash to his preschool for fun times. 

Hang out with him and Camryn

Go to some indoor fun gyms 

Share in the LOVE !! 

Happy boy - Happy Mama

We went to the Aquarium

Cash loves the yellow jellyfish the best. 

Love to Eat - Love to Play

Manda was getting along so well, that I came home late Saturday night. 

"Winter" in AZ

This little one gets in the warm hot tub daily - lucky him !!
It's fun when Manda Facetimes, so we can see him.

Lately he has said things like:

"Mom, what's your favorite color?"
and
"Mom, what's your favorite food?"

The other night while he was being put to bed he said, "I miss Grandma, she plays marbles with me"
Just about made my heart melt !!
We hope to get down to see them for a weekend at the end of February (fingers crossed)

Our life lately

Cam is going to be going to Hawaii in September with her Schutt Family.  She is sure excited ! 

Little Cash is eating so well.  He eats most everything his parents do, just pureed or smooshed up. 

Isn't that a cute little curl on the top of his head? 

Givin' Sissy a "side-eye"

Manda sends us the cutest pics of his funny faces - we always get a chuckle out of them. 

I love this picture, and the lighting.
Cash and Daddy - relaxin'

Speaking of relaxing...................

Beautiful sunset reflecting off the Eastern clouds, one night on my evening walk. 

Another "project"  = a box to hide all the mess of wires at my office. 

A surprise visitor last Sunday morning.  Thank goodness no damage was done.

Happy Family :) 

Cam has graduated !!  Here she is in front of her old Elementary marquee.
I'll have another post on her graduation/birthday party extravaganza.

Now on to more schooling at Mesa Community College this fall !!
She'll keep on working at Sicilian Baker over the summer.  She's been there for going on two  years, and works hard and well.  Chip off the old Morgan "blocks".  

Cash loves books, and his mom reads to him a BUNCH - every day.
