Knowledge to Legacy to Faith! What a week...







It's been awhile since I last posted and so many things have happen that I need to remember! The week started off pretty busy and then got lots more busier! We were honored to be invited to Hallie introduction to NJHS, she wasn't sure if she wanted to be apart of this and I told her it was a honor to be recognized (probably cause no one from are family has yet been there including her mother and father) and that she should go and be proud of herself for all the hard work and studying that she has done this school year to keep her grade average up, it was a nice assembly and Boyd and I were very proud of her she ended the school year with a 4.0--whoo hoo Hallie!!!!!!! so proud of her.
Then Boyd's grandma died Wilma Shill and we buried her Saturday she was the most gracious grandma and great grandma and great great grandma ever she has a Legacy that will go on forever, she would always look into your eyes while you were talking to her and you knew that she was really listening to what you had to tell her, i will always remember her soft hands that held you close to her, she has a special place in our hearts and mine, she was able to watch Hannah for me when she was just 2 mo old while I had to go have surgery done to remove the nogile on my thyroid, my mom and dad were on a mission in Canada and all my sister were having babies so grandma offered to take her, i never worried once while i was in the hospital for a week, she will be missed by all, but so happy for her that she is with her husband who has been gone for fifteen years what a happy reunion that must of been for them both.
I keep looking at Boyd and telling myself "Man he's handsome all dressed up"! then these two boys Jack and Sam are all grown up they are Boyd's cousins there mom is Boyd's Aunt and I use to watch these guys when they were babies does that tell you how long I have been doing daycare they were like 18mo and Sam was just a baby! wow were does the time go I always love to talk to them and tell them stories they were like my own.
Then after the funeral and luncheon we all left and Boyd drove through Sonic, it was so stinkin hot out side that we all had to cool off with a drink, his phone rings and it is Hannah he hands me the phone and i could tell she was histarical and crying!!! whats wrong, she told me that Nixyn her 3 mo old fell out of the car seat as she was carry her in to the house and that she has a big bump on her head and was kinda of out of it , i told her to get to the ER now and that we would meet them there!!! my heart was pounding and we all broke into more tears I told Hallie and Oscar to fold there arms that we needed to say a pray for Niki--- we got to the hospital and my heart started pounding and my body felt limp, Hannah was a basket case and billy besides himself and I was so sad to see her laying on her Mom's chest Boyd called his Dad and he came up pretty darn quick and I asked the nurse if there was a room we could go and give her a blessing the nurse was great a took us to a room that was just for people that were having chest pains and said we could use this but to hurry in case someone came in, Boyd gave Nixyn a blessing and I felt so calm afterwards and new that all would be okay, she ended up having a fracture with some blood that they were worried about, so they kept her over night we stayed with Hannah most the night and then came back the next morning they did another Ct scan and the fracture was still there but there was no sign of the blood clot! I am so thankful for the power of the priesthood and the blessings that come with it, i knew Nixyn would be just fine and that our Heavenly Father watches over his children and comforts us when it is needed... These Nurses were the best, they took such good care of her in ICU and had the best since of humor ever! Thanks for everyone prayers Hannah did a great job blogging about it also but i wanted this one for me, and my journal. Now I'm ready to kick back and relax and enjoy the Summer (NOT)!!!!!

That is a busy week! I'm glad things have settled down a bit! I'm especially glad Nixyn is doing better!

Wow...busy week for you! Page fell off her bike when she was little and fractured her skull and had the blood clot. She ended up at Phx Childrens and had to have surgery to take it out. Scary. I am glad that everything is OK.

Hey Chris
Boy dis it ever sound like a busy week for you!! I am so proud of Hallie, she is growning into such a beautiful little lady! I am sorry about Boyd's grandmother but what a blessing to have her in your life! Poor little Nixyn! I am glad she is o.k. We had this same thing happen with Autumn when she was almost a year old and after she hit her head she started acting weird, falling asleep and then throwing up. We ended up calling 911 and Brian hurried and ran over to Ralph's house for help with a blessing. I can not tell you how grateful I too am for the priesthood. It was almost an immediate diffence! So with this being said, I can understand your concern and appreciate the blessing that follows! I hope you summer is more UNeventful then your last week!!

What a week! I would have been so overwhelmed. Also, congratulations to Hallie. She might even be the first for the entire Shill family! We were all the worst students at that age:) Ha. Also, just want to thank you for being so nice to me at Grandma's viewing. You bring a lot of good qualities to the family and your words really did comfort me.

What an eventful and scary week you had! I'm glad things ended up ok. I could just feel your panic as I read about it and was so relieved to know she will be fine. I guess the worries and caring never ends. I'm so glad you could be there. Thanks for sharing:).
