so its elders "p" day once again and we are FINALLY able to update the blog. we have had quite the week and a seriously busy day. as most of you know ty did undergo surgery on the 8th. he is doing fantastic aside from the occasional bumping his hand on random things (i.e. the wall in the middle of the night). here are a few photos of ty before his surgery. i didn't take any after pics.. he looked pretty drugged so out of respect i decided against any post surgery pics.

this is soooo cool! one poke was for the i.v. the other was for the local anesthetic! awesome how they do this now!

so the way dr. marins office does thie anesthetic, is they place a pressure cuff on the upper arm and completely drain the blood out of the area being operated on while simulatiously pumping numbing meds into his veins (replacing the blood for a short period of time). i thought this was so hella cool! i didn't know they could do that with minor surgeries!. everything went REALLY smoothly. the surgery only lasted an hour and a half which was expected for what was being done. the made a small incision on his left thumb and shaved down the small piece of bone that was protruding out. he seems to be doing much better now that he doesnt have that little piece of bone constantly bothering him. 

laylee is doing awesome! she is a whopping 10 lbs and some 4 odd ozs now! she is getting very heavy! she is more and more smiley! here are a few SERIOUSLY CUTE pictures of her from over the last week. she is also starting to try to hold her own bottles when she eats. she can only do it with the assistance of a blanky... but i think shes enjoying her new found independence!

laylee crashed out!

giggle!

laylee enjoying her milk!

 she is pretty good for us MOST of the time. but there are days when we've had to call grandpa olsen to come give us both a small but much needed break!

an update on school... i just took a portion of my math test today! it is worth 1/2 credit and i need all four credits to pass my complete math section! i am very excited and appreciate all the love and support i have recieved from family and friends. i also contacted adams state college about courses since i will hopfully be enrolling soon. i am scheduled to go to a "discover day" on oct 30th. it is a guidedd tour of the college including mock classes and a few lectures from the teachers. i am super excited as they are having one of their nursing teachers give an example class (nursing is one of the few things id like to look into in the medical feild). all i have to do now is attend! i will update on how it goes as the time gets closer. well thats all the updates for this week! as i said i will try to load the videos before too long!
much love to every one!
