Suture and Autoclaves....

Last night I had class and it was so much fun... I went to class kinda bummed and down and just not wanting to be in class.. Once I got there, I was still rather mad but we got pizza so that made it a little better, Gotta love Costco Pizza and then we did labs all day. We learned how to do sterile fields and what a MA does as far as surgeries go. Thats was fun cause we also got to be the doctor. That also includes the machine that you put all the instuments in after use to make them become sterile, which is called an autoclave.....After we passed that test we got to work on a dummy's arm that was all torn up from a accident.... Ours was from a cougar :). We learned how to do stitches. It was like scrapbooking, addicting!!! After we got the 1 done we watned to do another and another. It was rather fun... I love doing labs because it reminds me that is more than just book work and I really needed a change besides book work.... Anways, I thought I would share my experience with you all and if you ever need stitches I know how, I will be happy to do it for you!!! :).

This picture looks like the dummy's skin that we used and he kit that is used as well.....

Catch up day

A few events of our lives.... Here it goes!!! I needed to update all the blog sites and fill everyone in our busy schedule. Sorry I am not on here more but there are other blogs that I do more often. But I will try to be on here more..... Today is a catch up day since I don't have much homework to do...... So...........

So I havent been on this blog in..... A long time.... Lets play catch up. School is great. I am in a medical asepsis class that is hard and the teacher is really hard but I feel like I am learning a lot and I really do enjoy this class.... I have to wear scrubs to this class cause there are a lot of labs that we are doing... So Cody decided to take a few pictures of me in the scrubs so here those are....

Next.... Bryce has been having some asthma attacks again.... Poor little man!!! I took him in on Monday early morning and they said more breathing treatments. I can't tell you how bad Bryce and I both want to throw that machine out the window and how sick of the treatments we are. He has been doing about 6 a day and is still doing pretty bad... I called his doctor and they are going to see him tomorrow at 1:30 so I will let you know how that goes....

Katelyn is in gymnastics and got invited on the competition team for level 3 ( the lowest level). It was pretty exciting to get asked for her to be on there.... She was super excited and she deserves it, Katelyn has worked so hard and I have never seen her more dedicated to anything before as she is to gymnastics. We are no sure if we are going to take the spot though due to the time commitment and the money. Maybe after this month we will decide. Plus she is playing basketball this winter and it is a lot for her to take on..... We will keep you updated n that though...

Austin is doing great. He is meeting lots of friends and doing good in school. I have seen him grow up a lot since school has started. He will be starting basketball at the end of October as well. He is so excited for that. He practices all time and he can't wait to get started....

Cody is doing good as well. He has been working out alot and studying for the ASVAB test to get ready to join the Air National Guard. He is excited about it and it will be good for him and our family.. He has been kid of getting in a slump at Wells Fargo and is needing some change. I am so proud of him..

I got a part time job at the photography studio at JC Pennies in Nampa. I am so excited to get started and something about 2 oe 3 days away from school. I am going to do it while the kids are in school and Bryce is going to got to Preschool and I will do it 1 day during the weekend. When I worked at Sears it was a escape from everything and I really enjoyed it so I am super excited to start at Pennies.

I think that is a good update on our family... This weekend is our Anniversary. Cody has plans all day after the BSU game cause we are going to a party for that.... I am super excited for this weekend and thanks mom for taking the kids!! What would we do without our moms???? I will let you know how that goes!!!
