Taylor highs and lows

 

Taylor had some serious highs and lows this month.  First, all members of the student body who bought a year book were entered in a drawing for eyepod touch.  Taylor won.  I love how this picture even has a natural star light to emphasize the shiny new tech toy!  Second, Taylor organized his own Duty to God service project.  He called the West Valley City Manager and arranged a meeting to learn how to paint the faded fire hydrants in our neighborhood.  He was given a map and paint.  He recruited Spencer and Colton in picture top left as well as other kids who saw us painting and joined in.   Notice the before and after picture! Third, we got paid for caretaking a puppy for Gloria the owner of the SL Marathon.   Now for the bad news.  After the fire hydrant painting, Taylor started to have sharp pains in his side.  Halle was with us for the first 5 hours.  She lightened the mood and made things worse at times.  She told doctors she knew what is wrong, "He swallowed a pin"   When Taylor was crying, she made things worse by telling doctors, "he is afraid you are going to cut him open."   Fortunately, Diana King took Halle and Noel for the night.   Taylor was tranfered from Murray Intermountain hospital to Primary Childrens.  He was third in line for the surgery.  He had his appendectimy at 1:00am Sunday.   Wendy and I took turns staying at the hospital until he was released on Tuesday am.
