Family update

Camille wanted to send an update to our friends and family who look at our blog for updates. We have had a rough couple of weeks... On June 10th we had an ultrasound appt at McKay Dee... So with that being said and a lot of people didn't know that Camille was pregnant on the 10th she was just over 20 weeks along. During the first few minutes of the ultrasound the tech said that she had to go talk to the Dr.... Now that is when the panicking came in as we have been through this before about 6 years ago with the twins. She came back in and continued the ultrasound as normal so we though she had to talk to the Dr about the previous ultrasound. She then said that she heard the Dr and left the room and this was about 15 minutes which seemed 3 hours to us. So when she came back in we put her on the spot and said "you didn't see a heart beat did you". I do feel real bad that we did that. She was so caring and gracious and did tell us that she didn't see one. We were both in tears and pretty upset, and then the Dr. came in to continue the exam. The staff there at McKay were awesome in every way!! Thank you Ashley (ultrasound tech) for being there for us and being such a great person.

So we had to go to the hospital the next day June 11th to have Camille be induced at 7:00am and needless to say we went home at 2:30 Friday morning. Camille had a hard time with the delivery and finally had to be taking into surgery where they put her out so she didn't have to feel the pain. It was so hard to watch my beautiful wife go through that and I was so thankful for the wonderful Dr and nurses that we had who cared so much for us. The baby was a baby girl (yes I can make them!!!) we named her Samantha Allen.

We want to take a quick second to say THANK YOU to all of our family, friends for all of the support and love. We have been very blessed with the love, prayers and thoughts that were passed our way. We don't know why these things happen, but we do know that we have a loving Heavenly Father who will help through this and one day we will know the exact reason.

Camille is doing real good and has taken some time off of work to rest and relax. The boys are doing well with it. Tyler had the hardest time, but is doing well.

We were given this poem from a good friend and I would like to share it. (Thanks Amy):

Little Angels

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,

We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.

For no heartache compares with the death of one small child,

Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold,

So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them and so He takes but few,

To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,

The saddest word mankind knows will always be "goodbye"

So when a little child departs we who are left behind,

We must realize God loves children, Angels are had to find.
