Mitchell Family: Here we go again....

Here we go again....

These past couple months have no doubt been a rollercoaster for us Mitchell's. We had a little scare on Friday May 13th....yep Friday the 13th was very much a scary day for us. We took McKall to the doctor with what we thought was a viral infection and thought for sure they would send us home with some medicine and say it just needed to run it's course. We weren't so lucky :( Instead of home, it was yet another trip with our little sweetie to Primary Childrens. This time it all happened so fast and once we found out it was her appendix we were in a huge rush to get her up there. I honestly didn't realize how scary this all was until we asked Dr. Rosenbeck if we could run home and grab a change of clothes. He said, no, you need to get her up there NOW, and as fast as you can without wrecking or getting a ticket. Oh man, this was not good. All we had time for was a quick blessing, which Chandler did an amazing job!
On our way I had remembered praying my heart out the first time we took her to Primary Childrens and everything turned out okay. All I could think this time was PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bless that her appendix had not perforated yet and that my little gal would be okay again. Chandler and I were quite scared but McKall was so brave and strong the entire time. Her fever got way high and she was so thursty but could not eat or drink anything until they were done with the surgery. She did so well and it was a huge relief when Dr. Black told us they had not ruptured yet and we caught it just in time. FEWWW, THANK YOU DR. ROSENBECK! Had they ruptured, they said we would be there about 6 or 7 days getting her anibiotics. We were only there 3 days and she didn't have a whole lot of infection. The nurses and doctors were amazing and McKall loved all the attention she got from them! And not to forget her favorite, the wagon, she LOVED it!
We got home and she had lots of sweet visitors that brought her some fun goodies!! She was able to dance in the revue and go to her preschool graduation that same week (which you'll see a couple posts back) with no problems at all! What a tough little gal!
Here I am, yet again THANKING my hubby, my mom, my dad, and my amazing sister whom I could not go through these hard times without. We have had so much help lately from some really awesome people. Still to this day we go to church or work or the grocery store and have lots of caring people ask how we are doing. It's so good to say, we are doing GREAT!! Now it's my turn....I pray every day that the Lord will help me know who I can be of service to and help in any way I can. I think it's high time us Mitchell's get a break from hospitals until October!!! ;)

Sorry these pictures are not the greatest...they were taken with our cell phones.

Oh the things they say!

"In McKall's words"

6/10
*I asked McKall why she was going to the bathroom in the dark. She said, "cause I'm saving energy!" Ummm ok!
*"Mom can you buy me some pixie dust so I can fly with
tinkerbell and the other fairies to the mainland!" Sure if I can come too!
*"Mom dont you think it's a good idea if we put my room in yours?" Pretty sure it wont fit!
*"I'm worried about Grandma Lori, she's getting old and I
dont want her to!" Your not old mom, just wise!
*"I drank milk from a box at school lunch today!"
*I told McKall if she would eat all her lunch she could have a
cupcake. She said in her sassy tone, "mom the cupcakes aren't that good!" Ok I'll eat it then!
*My mom was playing hide-n-seek with the kids and said to McKall, how did you find us? McKall said, "cause I used my brain and I have eyes in the back of my head." Ha ha silly girl only moms have eyes in the back of their heads!
*We were looking at my ultrasound pictures of when I was pregnant with McKall. I was showing her and telling her that it was her in my belly. She looked at me funny and said, "Mom why did you eat me?!?!?" We laughed and laughed!
*I told McKall it was time to do her hair and she said, "I dont want to." I asked her why not and she said, "it's just my attitude today!" Yep she has a little attitude!
*This girl LOVES cereal...must be my girl for sure! Both kids love to eat honey bunches of oats. McKall calls them "honey-a-boats"...it's cute, I love to hear her say, "mom I wanna eat honey-a-boats!!!"
*When I picked McKall up after work today she said to me, "I sure missed you today!" She's my favoritest girl in the world!

*McKall woke up this morning with a sleepy arm. I told her it will go away soon. She said, "I know how to make it better, I'll eat my breakfast and it will go straight to my arm. Then my arm will say, FOOD and wake up!"
*Chandler gave McKall a father's blessing. He explained to her what a father's blessing was before he gave her one. Not too long after the blessing she said to him, "dad I need another father's blessing, I have a headache." HA HA! At least she gets the concept of it!
*We were eating Sunday dinner and Chandler was saying how it was good and it hit the spot. McKall said, "ya if mom wasnt here we would starve to death." She's too dang CUTE!

*She was sick and tired of being sick and tired! She said to
Chandler, "If you wouldn't have got me in this mess, I wouldn't be in this mess!" Chandler said, "what do you mean?" She said, "you got me sick and got me in this mess!" LOL!

*She told me out of the blue..."Mom when Santa comes next time I'm not going to give him cookies, I'm going to give him a banana or grapes so he doesn't get any fatter!"
*She woke up with a stuffy nose and said, "my nose is broken, I cant smell anything!"

*Her primary teacher told me that they were talking about Disneyland cause one of the boys in her class just got back. McKall jumped in and told her teacher that I was a mermaid and I ate bugs! What??? HA HA! Where she came up with that I will never know, but gosh she is silly!
*I was taking her to dancing and asked her if she needed me to go in with her to get her tap shoes on. Her reply, "no mom I have everything under control!" She is getting too old!

*We were watching Nickelodeon, there was a boy band singing and I said this is a weird song. McKall said in the funniest voice, "mom that's Big Time Rush!" Oh ok!!!
*We were watching birds out the window while we were eating and McKall said, "mom what kind of birds are those and what species are they from?" Ha ha, species??? REALLY?? Too cute!

5/11
*I just got done doing McKall's hair and asked her to get her pink shoes with diamonds on, she said, "mom your just trying to make me beautiful!" I told her we dont have to try to make her beautiful, that she already was! She said, "when I'm beautiful the boys just want to sit by me and not the girls!" Oh dear!!!!

6/11
*McKall told Chandler one night the pourch light was on and there were moths and bugs flying all around. "Dad did you know that those moths are nocturtle?!"(nocturnal) "There are lots of bugs and animals that are nocturtle, and that means they only come out at night!" HA HA she is too smart for her own good!

"In Wyatt's words"
