Carving Pumpkins

We had Rosealie,Chloe, Madison and Zoe carve their pumpkins last night...I wasn't able to watch them to much but was able to come out and see the end after they were done. Thanks Mike for taking pictures!

Up-Date on Madison

Ok...today was surgery day.
1. Up at 4:30am to be there by 5:30am
2. Got all checked in and went to waiting room
4. Got her back to her room and all the nurses and doctors came in and talked to us.
5. At 7:40am she went back to the OR and they started surgery.
6. We went down and got some breakfast, Bill had biscuts,gravy,sausage. Me yogurt and orange juice.
7. We went back up to waiting room and Bil went to sleep, me listened to my MP3 player and worried.
8. At about 10:00am the doctor came out and said that everything had gotten great, hardly any bleeding, so he wouldn't have black eyes, which Madison is grateful for. He also said that they got everything and she should be able to breath much, much better!
9. About 8 minutes later we were able to go back and see her.
10. She had alittle problems waking up but after she slept off the meds. she was ready to go home.
11. She is doing really well and has been enjoying the watching tv and eating chicken noodle chunky soup her favorite!
Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayer on here and also facebook....we expect her to be able to go to school next week sometime.

Prayers and Surgery

This Friday (Sept. 9th)is when Madison surgery is, we haven't really told Madison how extentive the surgery really is because of her worrying already. I won't lie to you and tell you that Wiliam and I aren't worried for her, this little girl (which Madison isn't little) is in for a hard recovery.

Here are the procedures she is having done if you want to go look it up... bilateral maxillary antrostomies with tissue removal, bilateral ethmoids,bilat sphenoids with tissue removal,bilat frontal sinusotomies, nasal polypectomy.

The surgery is going to last about 4 hours if there is no problems they run into...we will let family and close friends know of whats going on and will have an update the night of her surgery on here.

We are asking for your prayers on her behalf, that she may be strong and be able to recover fast. Thank you......

About Time

Sorry it's about time I wrote on the blog...Well there is alot to write about hopefully I remember it all.
Madison turned 11 yesturday and a really good day. Saturday we had her party and shegot to invite her favorite friends! She had some of her favorite foods BBQ pulled pork, chicken, mashed potatoes, corn bread and mixed berry cobbler.
Also a couple of weeks ago I took Madison into get an allergy test done...Not sure if it was good or bad to know what she is allergic too. 77 out of the 80 she is allergic, 33 of those are highly allergic. We had to get rid of our dog because that was one of them, but she went to a good home a family in our ward took her.
Madison will be having surgery on the 9th of Septmeber to have polups removed from her nose. It has turned into quite a surgery so your prayers are appreciated. William and I watched a video and read about it and the details, we had to quit because we were getting sick thinking about what she is going to have to go through. She is also having to have her septum straighten because it is pushed into the right side of her nose. She will have black eyes for awhile after.
William has been busy with work and has now been called to the 2nd Councler in the Elders Quorum, I was released as a Primary worker.
Rosealie started school a week ago and really enjoys going.We have seen the improvements already her talking has gotten alot clearer and we understand her alot better.
Life is busy in the Crawford Corner but we are loving life!

Health

Not to many know that I have been having some severe pain in my lower back,hips and legs for about 6 weeks now, to where I can hardly walk. Today I went to my doctor and he is sending me in to get an MRI, my appointment should be sometime next week. After that I will go back and get the readings of what it says. I am hoping for some good news we will see. The pain has felt like the arthrist that is in my knee but 10 times worse, but I'm not a doctor so who knows. I will keep you up to date of whats going on.

George Crawford Family Reunion

Last week we had the Crawford Family Reunion...It was so good seeing everyone! Missed the ones that couldn't make it :( It was held in Prescott at the Bradshaw Pines..it was nice and cool for most part and rainy. We had alot to eat and good company! Jamie won the Bowling Trophy with the high score of 152, which he is taking back to Afghanistan. Bob and Harley won the redneck golf title belts. Here are some of the pictures from the reunion, more to come as they get sent to me.
