Looooong Memorial Day Weekend

So we went up north for Memorial Day Weekend cause it was a long weekend and Randy's nephew Weston Lamplugh was getting married. We spent time with the kids and we were just passing the Lehi exit on our way home when Amy called and said they were taking Gage up to Primary Children's hospital to have his shunt fixed. Could I stay and help with the kids? I called a substitute for school and went out to their home and they left about 10 minutes later. They had an appointment to do it the week after school was out because they thought it was infected. He had a couple of sores by the shunt line, one behind his ear and one on his chest, but the one by his ear started bleeding so the Dr said they might as well just get it done. I stayed with Claire, Levi and Judd and on Wednesday we went up to the hospital for a visit and I stayed with Gage cause Claire and Judd were scheduled for surgery to put tubes in their tear ducts on Thursday. The Dr came in Thursday morning and said they couldn't find any infection so they might as well put the shunt inside his head and send him home. So Amy and Aaron had three kids surgeries in one day. The little ones were done about 9:00 so they all came up to PCH and I took the three youngest ones back home and Gage had his second surgery about 1:00. He ended up with 62 stitches! He's one tough cookie. He came home the next day and acted like nothing had happened. Kelly came up to an Efusion Mtg so I went home with him and Randy came and got me from Cedar on Sunday.
