We have a guest!

Rodrigos cousin Claudia has come to stay with us from Mexico to help watch the kids. I am so grateful for her strength and courage to come all the way to Utah to be with us. The kids adore her and so do I. It is going to be a huge help for Rodrigo and I while we are at work. We hope that she enjoys being with us and enjoys all the adventures yet to come.

Gavin Cody Naylor

Gavin was born today at 8:30 AM weighing 6 pounds 12 ounces and is 20 inches long. Mom and baby are doing wonderful and Daddy is very very proud. Aubrey is very excited to be a big sister. They have a new rule at the hospital that no kids under the age of 12 are aloud to go visit so my kids are anxiously waiting to go meet there new cousin. Congratulations!

Jeff Update!

Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted an update on my dad. He is doing wonderful. He had the best clinic ever last week. He was released to go places. So basically he can go out in public and see people as long as they are not sick. If someone is coughing by him he needs to get away and make sure that he is washing his hands often. His numbers look awesome. He feels great. He is down to going to labs only 2 times a week now instead of 3. He gets to make an appointment to get his Dialysis Catheter out of his stomach. This will be the last thing thing that he has to be tube free. He is on a very strict diet. My mom is really helping and making sure that he is eating the right things. He is down 30 pounds. I meant to take an updated picutre but forgot. I will be sure to post one soon.

A shout out to my mom!

I just wanted to dedicate a post to my amazing mother. She has been the most amazing person through this adventure with my dad. She is the # 1 care giver and is taking care of my dad 100%. I am so grateful for her and her unconditional love she shows to my family every day. She puts everything a side in her life to make sure that her family is o.k. She is truly amazing, driving my dad down to Murray every other day for labs, fitting work in when she can, making sure that her kids and grand kids have what they need, taking care of the tasks at her home, making sure my dad has the proper food for his diet, she has been so strong through this whole process and has been going strong. She is simply amazing and I love her so much. Without her I don't know where I would be today. I am sure my dad would say the same thing.
Mom we love you and thank you for all you do, we truly appreciate you. You have always put everyone before yourself, you have such a Christlike love that people can see. I hope soon things will calm down and you can sit down and put your feet up for a few minutes. I couldn't of gotten through all of this without you. You have made sure that we stay positive about every issue that has happened. Thank You!

Our Visit

On Sunday my mom called and invited us to come out and visit for a little bit. The kids were finally better and I felt pretty good about taking them to visit. When we arrived the kids were so excited we haven't been up to my moms for about a month. My dad wore a mask while we were there to take extra precaution. Maya didn't recognize him at first but as soon as he talked she knew that it was her grandpa. She was so happy she ran right over and wanted to tackle him but we had to stop her because my dads not quite up to that yet. He looked wonderful. Rodrigo was able to give him a haircut and he looked as good as new. I love my dad so much and am so proud of him for fighting so hard.
He went back to clinic yesterday for his therapy and things and his blood pressure dropped so low that they had to stop what they were doing and wait for 2 hours for it to slowly go up. My mom and dad were both afraid that they would re admit him to the hospital but they didn't. Prayers answered again! If you notice in the pictures he has an awesome shirt on. Recycle Life!

Grandpa We Love You

My kids wanted to say We Love You Grandpa and miss you.

5 days of being stable

My Dad was released to come on on Tuesday morning. His numbers were down and things looked pretty good. He has been able to keep everything stable up to this day. We are so grateful for that. The only thing now that is a concern is that his incision is not healing fast enough. It is bleeding a lot so the staples will have to stay in longer than normal. The Dr. said that is pretty normal for a Diabetic. He is just staying down and staying very positive about things. My mom has been a trooper this week taking him back down to LDS hospital and IMC for his Therapy and clinics every other day. He will go back on Monday and have all of his numbers checked again to see how everything is going. He is still getting his blood taken out and put back in to see if his antibodies will tame down. He says there is about 1 liter at a time that is out of his body when they do the treatment. It makes him feel really strange when they are done. He feels lightheaded and really weak after that treatment. He may have to do that for only 1 more week but we won't know until next week. He has really enjoyed the phone calls and concerns from all of you. He really put things into perspective for me when he told me of a story about a man who is met this last week at clinics that recieved a kidney transplant on September 3rd. He was in a wheel chair and telling my dad that they have not been able to get his new kidney to wake up yet. The guy told my dad that he is fighting for his wife and 3 little girls that were at home. My dad said, at least I can walk and my kidney is working not to its full potential yet but working. We are so grateful for all that has happend and that things are progressing slowly but in the right way.
