got hooked up to heart monitors and an I.V had 2 ekg's a ct scan of my body

There was no blockage no blood clots Thank You Jesus But was diagnosed with a torn or strained muscle near my heart so I cant do anything for 7 days and will follow up with a Dr to rule out a few more things I am in a lot of pain very weak and dizzy still but hopefully with rest and meds I will be back to normal SOON

Well today she fell and afterwards crawled into my lap and said sing to me Mommy omg I had tears as I was singing im not sure why but those words made me just look at her and want to cry.As I looked down at her I thought to myself this is my baby this is what I have tried for for 10 years she is my angel..So I sang the first song that came to my head

Would you come to me, and ease my pain?
If you needed me

So the x-rays came back and everything looks good next is neurologist for cat scan and mri which has me freaking out... Loli has a good freind that lives out of state and she told him what was going on with Ayden and he sent out the most heart warming email to all the people he knows it brought tears to my eyes so I wanted to share what he wrote

FOLKS,

Like most of us,I have special prayers.Most are directed to God.This one goes to my close friends who help me to be able enjoy life because of care and concerns for oneanother.

I have a great family of friends in Texas who today are very afraid,concerned and really need your prayers.

Ayden Emery [2 years old] has some kind of health issue that is threatening her ability to walk. Her young parents are devastated,her Aunt prays daily and more often for her little neice.

Please, when you kneel today to take your message to the Lord,remember this precious baby.

I am so thankful for your friendship and wish you more!

Lazy Days

2009-07-23T08:34:00.000-07:00

So nothing new really going on just the usual routine The potty training does not seem to be working and as you may have seen yes Ayden is back on the bottle after she was off for 2 weeks she would not drink milk in a sippy cup and only wanted juices well she started having muscle spasms and pains in her leg so we gave her back the bottle and she started drinking her milk again and all was better so I guess when she is ready she will be ready I am not going to rush her.

WIMBERLEY, Texas (KXAN) - Investigators in Hays County believe a 9-year-old boy started a fire that threatened several homes west of Wimberley.

The fire burned nearly 500 acres and forced the evacuation of 15 homes in the Lost Creek Ranch subdivision late this afternoon.

More than 80 firefighters battled the flames. A Forest Service helicopter was called in to drop flame retardant chemicals on the fire.

As of 9:00 PM, the fire is reported to be 75 percent contained. Families are now being allowed to return to their homes.

Fire crews will stay on scene all night to mop up and monitor hot spots.

Fire officials say the fire started in the clubhouse and pool area of Lost Springs Ranch. The Investigators now believe the boy started the fire with a lighter.

Grass Fires Burns Near
Wimberley Homes

Updated: Tuesday, 14 Jul 2009, 7:01 AM CDT
Published : Monday, 13 Jul 2009, 3:40 PM CDT

A grass fire near Wimberley threatened about 15 homes Monday afternoon. Authorities activated the reverse 911 system to tell people to stay indoors but did not evacuate any homes. The homes are located near FM 2325 and Burnett Ranch Road. Around 500 acres were burned in the fire.

Hays County Emergency Management activated two task forces to fight the fire. The task forces consist of 11 fire departments. Each department will one or two trucks. Authorities have asked the Texas Forest Service to provide help and STARFlight dropped water on the blaze..

No injuries have been reported so far. By Monday evening the fire had been about 75 percent contained and authorities were just battling hot spots. The dry and windy conditions allowed the fire to spread very quickly and jump from place to place.

This is just crazy

2009-07-10T17:49:00.001-07:00

So finally we are redoing the floor in the play room my used to be computer relaxing room. I pulled Ayden's things out and thought to my self who in their right mind has all this ugh it's crazy so this is what my living room looks like right now If you look closely there's an Ayden in all that mess hahaha she is trying to play I'm not sure what she thought we were doing with her things but she was yelling my play room mine my toys no Mommy no Daddy stop it. It was cute and sad

This could have been bad

2009-07-10T17:30:00.000-07:00

So ok if you don't know you know now I never wear shoes i am barefooted all the time in our back yard because we have grass in the front because of gravel inside anywhere and everywhere I can I'm barefooted. So anyways to the point I was looking for a metal curtain rod I put away so I'd know where it was when I wanted it and im sure we have all dont that so I looked everywhere I thought I may have put it. well i'ts no where so I thought maybe i put it under the back deck so i go down the steps and see a pair of flipflops and think hmm maybe I should put them on in case I get a sticker since the dogs have dragged some in on that side of the house so I never find the rod and on my way out i stepped on something cause my ankle twisted so I take a few more stpes and have a look and oh me oh my THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD that was more than a sticker a huge piece of glass and have no clue where it may have come from and as you can see it went deep into that shoe I am so glad I even decided to put shoes on and that they were right there in the back yard

What am I going to do now

2009-07-09T08:13:00.000-07:00

Well ever since I can remember I have worked at a day care center or baby sat at home well I am done the little girl I have been caring for for 3 years now will no longer be here anymore and the other two part time girls are moving so no more kids for me what am I going to do with my self I thought about putting Ayden in a day care and getting a job but the thought of that scares the crap out of me and I don't know anyone out here who babysits so I don't know what my next step is.I used to be a manager at a hair salon and loved it but Ash was old enough and stayed with my mom well I don't live near my mom and she can't watch Ayden so ugh im in a rut and just needed to vent a bit......

Take Too Many Pictures, Laugh Too Much

Submitted by: PeaceOfMind

Author: Unknown

As we grow up, we learn that even the one
person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down
probably will. You will have your heart broken probably
more than once and it's harder every time. You'll
break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours
was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll
blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry
because time is passing too fast, and you'll
eventually lose someone you love. So take too many
pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt
because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a
minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Our 6 year Anniversary

2009-05-27T07:33:00.000-07:00

Some things in life are a once in a lifetime deal, like finding true love or your soul mate most people spend their entire life waiting or trying to find that special person and are never fortunate enough to find the one. That special someone that you know without a doubt that you want to spend the rest of your life with the one you know is the sit in a rocking chair on the front porch when your old kind of love. Troy and I have so much in common and we have so much fun together laughing joking playing around It doesn't matter what we do whether it is working together in the yard or one of his jobs , going out for a date night bowling the shooting range or to play pool and even our drives just to no where, or staying in and watching TV I am always happy as long as he is by my side. I am so greatful that our paths crossed when they did I can't imagine a single day without him. He is my dream come true the love of my life and I Love him with all my heart and soul.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SWEETIE....

He is gone

2009-05-27T05:14:00.000-07:00

at 10:45 last night Rosco took his last breath we were right there with him.. It is hard to believe he is gone..No more sneaking in the house and hiding from us he was always there to snuggle when i was down and heard all my stories and vents..He went so peacefully and mainly we were with him and got to say good bye rest in peace Rosco we will miss you

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Ayden's accident

2009-05-26T10:20:00.000-07:00

Well we were getting ready to head home from Loli's house and it started drizzling i turned around to put trash in the trash can and she tried to get in the expedition and slips biting her bottom lip all the way through blood was gushing and I am freaking out....Thank god they were small pincture wounds and we talked to a nurse and she said just keep it clean and keep an eye on it....scared the living day lights out of me..
This was her before her accident poor baby was having so much fun too.
here is her treat she got

A nice walk

2009-05-21T09:04:00.000-07:00

So Ayden and I decided to take a little stroll since every other day Ash and I jog to spend some time alone and talk and just get some much needed exercise me anyways. so on our walk we stopped a hundred times to smell the flowers and to have a visit from our neighbors dog who came out to say hi to Ayden.And she got to see our good friend Jordan who she said hi to about 20 times We took the stroller but she decided she also wanted to walk. So it was a nice Walk for us.

Getting Worse But We Are PRAYING

2009-05-20T19:48:00.000-07:00

Today Rosco drank a little bit of water but has not eaten or pooped or peed If we take him to the vet they put him to sleep for sure because of his age 16 he seems pretty confy although we are all pretty upset we are trying to comfort him and spend as much loving time as we can with him
THIS IS SOOO HARD

I think it is finally his time to go

2009-05-20T08:11:00.000-07:00

Rosco is 16 years old I have been with him for almost 9 years he is annoying at times jumps on the counter and high chair sneaks in the house when he is not wanted. He loves to be petted and has had his ups and downs with Ayden but they are finally getting along well after her pulling his tail and hair and him bitting and scratching her...yesterday he started showing signs of not doing to good he limped in the house slowly and found his spot under Ashley's bed where he has not moved eaten or gone to the bathroom I was able to get him comfy by putting a blanket under him I am so sad we love him so much..I am praying he is just not feeling good and is going to be ok WE LOVE YOU ROSCO P

Where do I start

2009-05-19T11:35:00.000-07:00

Well I have never met my real dad my mom was 3 months pregnant with me when she met my father the man who raised me as his own he will always be my dad father. But I really want to meet the other man his name is Tony I have looked online called a few numbers all disconnected I have no idea where I go from here my mom doesn't know much about him just his name and he was born in Mexico she bumped into him a few years back and he said hi she didn't talk to him and drove off she has gone by the last address she knew he lived but saw other people there no one she recognized. So i am sitting here thinking what do I do next?

Nothing New

2009-01-25T15:22:00.000-08:00

Just been busy running after Ayden she seems to be hitting her terrible 2's early and has been keeping me on my toes....Sharon was here with a guy friend Tom he was very nice he is from Florida and they met online a while back and wanted to spend some time together to see how they hit it off i think he is a great guy she really likes him but his age bugs her he is quite a bit older he is 16 years older than her to me age is just a number...but oh well we will see. On another note i am sick of this cold weather i hate hate hate winter and cannot wait for summer during winter i always feel so down I guess from staying home and not really doing anything so bring on the summer weather.
