What my new bloging station is




for Christmas this year i wanted so badly a computer! i was in doubt that i wasn't going to get one when every body was opening there larger present, but then one present that i say said " to Morgan from Mr. Gates" i didn't get it at first but then i opened it and it was a brand new gateway computer!!! it is also my favorite color! PINK!!!! well comment about your Christmas, i want to here the good and maybe bad things that happened!!

What big boys do over break!




Since I'm in recovery i couldn't help my mom make her famous cookies=( Blake invited some of his friends over to take my place! (l. to r. Chris, Blake,and Scottie) They rolled and rolled and rolled some more. they made a lot of cookies in one day! If i would have done that it would have put me right back in the hospital, (if i sit that long i get pains in my side that don't go away for hours) Well i hope that Blake's cheesy smile, Chris's weird face, and Scottie's weird look make you laugh this Christmas! Merry Christmas!

2 sugeries in two months

my daughter was born with a hole in her diaphragm, so her stomach and all of her left side organs were in her chest cavity. so we found out about 4 years ago that some time in her life she would have to get surgery on it to repair it. this is from my daughters first surgery they did three incisions and they did it liproscopicly.
well my daughter got sick on her birthday and we just thought that it was just the common flu that was going around, but then after a week instead of getting better she went from bad to worse. we went out to celebrate my wife's birthday out at olive garden and all of a sudden she pushed her food away and set her head on the table. well i just told my wife " just take her to the ER". well she did and she got x-rays there and we found out that her diaphragm split into two and one part of her diaphragm was wrapped around her lung and deflated it and the other half of her diaphragm was pushing her heart to the right of her chest. so my wife was in the Madigan ER and had to rush Morgan up to Seattle Children ER in a matter of one hour. so in a matter of 24 hours my daughter was in two hospitals, two ER rooms, one surgery room, and one room that she stayed in for one week! but now she is on bed rest and she is making a speedy recovery!


snow anybody?


how much snow have you got in your neighborhood? well when i woke up this morning i woke up to a Kodak moment!!! we went out and measured the snow at 7:00pm and it was 7inches and now at 9:30pm the snow is 9inches!! wow that is a lot of snow!! since my daughter had surgery then she can't go outside, but she can watch the snow fall!
