Madsen Health Update-Some good but mostly bad!

Well I will just post all of this here instead of sending an email our! Here is our health rundown for anyone who cares!!! Oh and by the way, this is the WAY shortened version!

Kevin-Kev is getting his gallbladder out tomorrow, Thursday the 4th. He has had some bad gallstone attacks that have put him in the ER so this is the best way to fix it. Hopefully it will be a smooth recovery since we had to Disneyland in a little over a week!

Erin-Most of you know about the accident I had in college 6 years ago involving a longboard, a car, and Aubrey Messick :) Well, I broke my back and they never did surgery since I was so young. Recently I went back to the Dr. since my pain has been really bad and they found from a MRI that my spine has slipped out of my pelvis. I know it sounds really bad, good thing I take some good pain pills everyday! So I meet with the surgeon in December and most likely I will have to have a very serious surgery after the first of the year. (2 months in bed with 6 months of not holding my boys! Is that really possible) Plus lots of Physical Therepy. I am preparing for dealing with this and if it turns out there is another alternative, I will be very happy to say the least!

Colt-Well I get the awful mother of the year award! 3 days ago, Colt was sitting on his Bumbo seat on the kitchen counter (as he does everyday) and I ran to help Troy go potty. Sadly, he fell off the kitchen counter reaching for my cell phone. We watched for signs of any problems and he has been fine. So scary but I am glad he is OK. I learned my lesson with the Bumbo seat! Oh, and as I mentioned before, he got his first tooth on Tuesday-Kev thinks the fall off of the counter pushed his tooth out! :)

Troy-Well for once, Troy is 100% healthy! Thank goodness one of us is! Too bad he isn't older so he could take care of his poor family that is falling apart!

Great photos of the boys--thanks! Give Troy a congratulatory hug from his Papa for his big boy "underwears". And yes, Colty Boy is getting even more handsome by the day. You and Kev hang in there -- both of you have pleanty of healthy, never-give-up, pioneer stock genes in you. Love, Dad.

Hey we hope everything goes well with both of you. I didn't know that about Kevin. Good luck with everything and let us know if you need anything! Your boys are as cute as ever.
