Bye-bye

See-ya

Hello
Bye-bye Michigan, hello Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and finally Texas for a few days. Then onto New Mexico, and Arizona stay for a month or so then on the road again Utah to Idaho. Wow, I am going to need a lot of extra sanity, so if anyone has some I would love to take it off of your hands for you! I guess chocolate will have to do the trick and lots of it! We will miss all of our friends and our time here in Michigan. It is so bittersweet, we are all having a hard time. We just miss our home and the many tender memories that were made there.

CONGRATS DR. HULET

Been a long time coming for this hard working man! Words cannot begin to express how proud I am of him! What can I say it is good to be married to a Doctor!

Three peas in a pod

Finish line

As of yesterday Brett saw his VERY LAST patient in Dental school! He is done! I cannot believe it has been four years. He has worked so hard and has done a fantastic job in this balancing act. I am so very proud of him! Graduation is May 7th and he will officially be Dr. Brett Barry Hulet D.D.S, R.N. WAY TO GO!

So much

There has been so much going on lately. Avelynn is doing much better. She is responding to medication well and is the sweetest thing ever! As for the parents we are a mess, but we have to be strong and trust that she is going to be okay. Kids are doing well, and are very good to their new sister!
Our home is on the market and that is a huge stress, trying to keep it clean for showings with three little kids...a challenge to say the least. It is official we are moving to Texas. We received our orders and we will be living in Wichita Falls, about an 1.5 hours outside of Dallas, close to the Oklahoma border. While I am not thrilled about this, it is only three years and hey at least it is warm!
Brett only has a couple of weeks left until he is done, yippee! Words cannot begin to express how proud I am of him! He will really be working hard these next couple weeks, then smooth sailing. Official graduation isn't until early May.
It is been nice here until the last few days, we even got into the 80's! The kids are loving being outside, it is a much needed break from being cooped up all winter! I am still adjusting to having three and trying to get much of anything done! Now with my Mom and Mother-in-law gone it is reality! They helped me so much, and really gave me the greatest gift just by being here, cleaning, cooking and mostly letting me recover! It is so great being a PRTEOF5 (my new license plate)! Sleepless nights from Ave, potty training woes from Joz and great independence for Brax, still love being a Mom and being able to call them my own!

E.R. updates

Quick note I have had so many people asking what is going on that I wanted to take a minute to let anyone who cared know, as opposed to trying to keep up with phone calls/texts. First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has helped us and who has been praying for us during this scary time of uncertainty and worry. Our little Avelynn went to the E.R. last Thursday for vomitting (stomach secretions), and a few other things. They ran a bunch of tests and x-rays and ruled out what they had suspected (some kind of obstruction or twist in the intestines or bowel). And we were sent home with no answers really, but we know it was nothing major that required surgery. Then Wednesday we had a very scary episode with her where she stopped breathing totally, was blue and unresponsive. I got her breathing and went again to the E.R. We were admitted. More tests like echo-cardiogram, chest and stomach x-rays, GI, EKG, just to name a few. All tests were negative, she is otherwise a healthy, well baby. She still has most symtoms minus the vomitting, which I don't need to go into, but is home and we are doing fine. We will continue to go to the doctor weekly. No official diagnoses, just reflux or GERD at this point, which doesn't explain everything, but it is a start. She is a trooper, after all of the pokes, prods and tests, she is still smiling!
