While Allie was at dance Conner continued to bleed. He had it coming out of his nose and his teeth and his mouth were all bloody as well! I called the doctor and they said to gargle with salt water. We did that, but after two minutes it turned into massive amounts of bright red blood! As soon as Allie got home from dance we headed straight for the Doctors. While waiting for the doctor, Conner began throwing up bright red blood with ton of blood clots. Straight dark blood that filled an entire kidney shaped pink bowl, and then a pink square bucket as well. You know those huge ones that you take diapers and wet wipes home in after having a baby! So scary, but I was so grateful that we were at the doctors and not at home. I was in shock and terrified for his life. So were the doctors! He told me to go to Mt View hospitol which is next door to his office. He looked and me and said, we don't have time to get over to Provo so we have to do take him into surgery here at this hospitol. It wasn't until later that the full impact of those words haunted me! I rushed him over and called Nick and told him to hurry over here. He got there just in time to give Conner a blessing. In the blessing, it said that in the end he will be ok but that we needed to be persistant with the doctors and in his care and treatment. Moments later he was in Surgery. Allie was there and was really scared for her twin buddy. She saw him throw up the blood and was horrified. She was so good, but was elated when her Uncle Seabass came and got her. He was so great to do that for us. Meanwhile Jen Brower had our other kids and was a huge help and support. Jen and Jill and Chelsie all brought dinner to us that night and that was a huge help! Also later this week, Amy Bastian and Becky Swasey also brought over dinners. Thank you so much for all your help and support! Jen Sitterud was so sweet by bringing over popsicles and yummy treats. Nothing makes you feel better than chocolate treats! You guys all rock!

I had NO idea. I can't believe I can live right by someone and be so clueless. How is everything going now, what did they find out? Poor little guy. I will keep you in my prayers.
I am sorry...having medical problems with kids is NEVER a fun thing. I hope things get better soon!
Conner was so sweet tonight! I feel so bad for that little guy and hope things will get better soon too, for all of you! I just have to say you are one strong women! You are a lot stronger than the rest of us to be going through so much lately, heavenly father just trusts you WAY more! You handle things so well and press forward through anything! Thanks for the example and we are praying for you guys, especially Conner!
