Crazy Week
Early Monday morning I got a call from my cousin Summer her nephew had nearly drowned and was now in the hospital in Provo. It was a scary couple of days. Michael (the drowner) had gone swimming in some natural hot springs with his friends. When he went down deep and didn't come up his friends got worried. One of them swam down and found him on a ledge unconscious, he was to afraid to touch him for rear he'd fall farther down. So some man who also happened to be there swam down and brought him (Laef - cute baby name for those of you who make boys) up and helped give him CPR. I guess Michael was breathing, but still unconscious. So an ambulance took him to the closest hospital then he was life-flighted up to Provo. There they lowered his body temp to 90 degrees to help control the swelling on the brain. He was left frozen for about 24 hours then they slowly brought him back. The whole time not knowing if he had any brain function at all. We all prayed and cried. I got to care for my cousins sweet baby while she visited with family in the hospital. Thank goodness my Mom also happened to be here and she was able to help with the baby too. I can't believe I ever thought I could handle twins. Ha! This story does have a good ending, Michael recovered and is doing great. He was released from the hospital by Thursday and is doing good! It was such a miracle that he lived.
While all of this was going on we were showing our house still too. I had so many extra people to hide, I mean ease the anxiety of showing a house it was crazy, but great. I love my family. Only wish we all lived closer. Here are some pictures from the week.

Scary and so happy things turned out well.
Oh, and twins are very hard, but honestly, you would just "deal" with it, though I think having them first does help in not knowing what it is like to have only one baby at a time!

Just from your post I knew exactly where you were talking about and friends and I frequent that area. I'm so glad that Michael is okay!
