(post 3 of 4)
Shawn was going to bed and I was feeding him, I finished feeding him and was burping him. I hear him start to burp and i was like ok and then vomit proceeded out of his mouth for a good 3 sec and covering me, the rocking chair, the ground, and what ever else was near by. It was gross but really cool and I was yelling for Christina to come but she couldn’t really hear me (because she was doing the dished) so I yelled louder and she came and helped me clean up Shawn and everything else. He was pretty happy so we feed him the rest of the bottle (big mistake!) and put Shawn in bed. About 5 to 10mins later we hear him crying we think that he just work him self up and he will go back to bed then after about 15mins we go in there to find him covered in more throw up. I would put picks but I am sure not many people want to see them. After we got him all cleaned up (this required a bath!) we let him stay up with us. Because he was sick I wanted him by us so he slept next to me, he is just so cute!

Christina had her tonsils out at the end September. She was getting strep a lot and getting tonsillitis in August was the last straw. She was extremely nervous, she had never had surgery before. The surgery was only 12 minutes and everything went well! She had a really hard recovery and was in a lot of pain. It took about a month for her to fully recover.
On Oct 13th (2 weeks after Christina’s surgery)Shawn had surgery to fix a birth defect he was born with. He was such a trooper, Christina was more scared than Shawn was. While we waited for Shawn’s surgery, Shawn was able to play with a car that we pushed him around in. There was another child there for the same thing. The two of them look so cute in their gowns. He was out for a couple of hours and then we got to see him.
After all was said and done Shawn was doing good and we where just happy to have our son back. Thanks to my dad and Christina’s mom for coming up to be there with us.
The day after Shawn’s surgery he could roll from his back to stomach and vice versa (he could only do one way before!)
3 days after his surgery his catheter came out with totally scared us because the doctor was supposed to take it out a week later! Everything turned out and Shawn totally healed within a week. This was really scary and stressful for us and we are so glad it is over!
So I had a recovering wife and baby to take care of. Thanks to Christina’s family for the help with the two of my favorite people in the world.
Last month for 4th of July we went back east for a week and a half. My uncle throws a big 4th party ever year, so we all thought it would be fun to go and see them for a couple of days and then go see my sister that lives in Erie Pa. My dad and I flew to Pittsburg to help my sister drive and pick up the rent car. My wife, sister, mom, Shawn, and Charlee came later that night and we picked them up in Philly. We went down to the shore for a day and had a ton of fun there went to the boardwalk, a lighthouse that had 204 steps to the top (it was my job to count them). After the Shore we came back and picked up Jake from the Train Station. For the Party we had roasted pig, and a ton of other wonderful food. My aunt got us all T-shirts that said “Yes, we are one of the Jones’”, all in all we had a fun time.
The next day we took the time to drive back to my sisters house in Erie. took a long time but the back country of Pa is beautiful, historic Pa used to be call Pens woods and when you go back there you will see why it was called that. It also has something to do with the charter that was made by the King of England. Lake Erie is one of the great lakes of this great nation and it was really warm, the lame thing about the place is they only let you swim in a marked out spot. My dad went in with the key to the car so we had to get the park police to come open the door, my dad and his keys. Over the next couple of days we went to Niagara Falls, Palmyra, and Kirtland to see the Church history sites this was a lot of fun for all of us. We had a great time and here are the pics to prove it.
