Once again this month has blown by and it is almost Christmas! This month is always filled with ups and downs for us. The 15th is Mom's birthday, but it is also Colton's birthday. He would have been fourteen this year. Colton we miss you buddy, until we meet again!The 16th is the anniversary of Billy Boy's cardiac arrest and like it or not, it is a very emotional day for us. It is the last time we saw our son walk, talk, smile, laugh and love. Three years ago we were robbed of the beautiful son we once had, and left with a boy I have learned to appreciate. I love every minute I have with Billy Boy and try not to take that for granted.
This year (to add to the excitement) Billy Boy choked on the 17th and we had to call 911. In the end he was ok, but it was a very scary 10 minutes. He turned pale, his oxygen saturation levels dropped to 71 and he started shivering uncontrollably. We put him on 6 liters of oxygen and suctioned him till the fire dept. arrived, by that time he was back to his old self. They took us to Loma Linda where they ran a couple of test and xrays just to make sure it was all ok.
It has been a very rainy month which is bumming Billy out since he doesn't get to ride his bike. Decorating, shopping, wrapping, and crafting has been done, we just have baking left and Billy has cooking. Monet is so excited for Santa to get here. He even mysteriously sent her a letter and $100.00 gift certificate this year?!?!
From our family to yours; Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
