This week in review

I Like this saying, it fits.

So time is just flying by. I can't believe we have been home for a week and half. Zac is on his cruise to alaska for 10 days and hopefully having a great time. I know he is eating alot of different foods. He cruised under the Golden Gate Bridge and said he got some great photos. Bryton is going back to gymnastics after a three week hiatus. School is starting on the 18th and I don't have the nerve to tell Zac yet cause I don't want to ruin his trip.

It is crazy how early they are starting this year.

Jared had his g tube removed on sunday by the neighbor, so now he is tube free. That is so fantastic cause it was bothering him anyway.Well, we just take things one day at a time and that is about all any of us can do. Hope all is well with everyone else.

ODE TO RAISIN BRAN FLAKES

They say that eating bran flakes

is especially good for the health

It looks wonderful while in the Bowl

Just don't put it in your mouth.

While eating a bowl, my son in law

split his esophagus in two places

he yelled to people, call 911

and he was off to the races.

paramedics rushed him to the hospital

they gave him every test

he was then life flighted to another town

where they were equipped to handle the rest.

before surgery they lose about 30%

and 30% when they are thru

the other 40% of them

have tubes coming out the kazoo.

in the little intestine they have a tube

so he can drink and eat

nothing can go in the stomach or throat

for the patient it's not so great.

there's tubes in both sides of the chest

and one that is in the heart

one in the bladder and one in the arm

and that is just the start.

there are probably 12 tubes in all

that's how they kept him alive

he had no voice to speak with

his will helped him to survive.

after 3 weeks in the hospital

and one in a room across the street

they finally released him to fly away

where being with family was sweet.

he still has one more tube in him

so there's another surgery to come

but he is just so grateful

that he is in his home.

so when you're thinking of breakfast

take time while you decide

if you choose a bowl of raisin bran

you might end up on the other side.

Jared and Bry Recovering

So I just wanted to post a photo of Jared so that you can all see that he is looking better. Recovery is slowly progressing and it is going to be a while until he feels up to doing things

but he is looking well, and we are so happy and blessed to have him here with us.

The prayers and fasting of many are why he looks so good. We have all been so blessed so we will just take it one day at a time and be thankful he looks as good as he does.

So that was one crazy adventure but now luckily we are home in our own beds and so happy to be there. We surprised Bry when we came home and he was as happy to see us as we were to see him. This is what his eyes looked like on friday night but they were worse when I first saw him and apparently they were worse than this, poor kid, little by little he is getting better. I missed him so much and am so happy to be home with him. Better days ahead for the Hinde's. Thanks again to all who have helped us, we love you all.

Yahoo, We're going home.

This picture is of "The Keeper of the Plains" this is where the
Arkansas river on the left and the Little Arkansas river on the right come together. This was done by Blackbear Bosin in 1974 for the people of Wichita.
So the Doctor took out the tube in Jared's neck and the PEJ tube into his intestines and said we can leave so Charlotte is setting things up, "she has been awesome" and we will be leaving at 4:22 in the afternoon, I will leave this place happily except maybe for the mudslides which are deeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccciiiiiiiiiooooouuuuuuuusssssssss, did I mention that.
Thanks to all those who have taken care of things at home for us, we really appreciate it, and mom and dad for taking care of Bry. Thank you to all the weeders that is the good part about being here, now we don't have to do it.

Our Wichita Home

This is where we live, it is fun for the whole family, at least the three of us here.
Jared, Stacy, and Zac.


Sign on every building! This is the local soup kitchen that feeds all the needy people.
As you can see by the signs we are not in the safest area of town.

Sick Little Buddy

So little Bry is sick with the adenovirus and last night had a

fever of 103.9. I called him and he begged me to come home.

I said in about a week I can come home and he said while breaking

down and sobbing, I don't need you in a week I need you now.

If that doesn't just make break down and cry yourself.

Grandma E asked him what was bothering him the most, was it his

eyes that are red and his eyelashes are stuck together, was it the fever, the throwing up? His reply "I just miss my mom, and I miss

my dad, and I even miss Zac and his bugging me, and when he gets home I am going to let him

bug me alot. Poor kid, I wish I were there to hold him and make him feel better, he is so sweet

and concerned about us, and last night was the first time he broke down while he has been

away from us. Hopefully time will fly this week and we can come home. Lets all pray for that.

The Plight of the Raisin Bran Eater

So This is the reason for the photos in case anyone doesn't know.
So Jared was told to eat better by his better half, well sort of. So Jared was
working in Salina KS on a hail storm, he was eating some raisin bran in the hotel lobby,
that he was staying in and he perforated his esophagus, he was taken by ambulance to a
Salina ER and they did many tests, They decided that they couldn't take care of him there so they lifeflighted him to Wichita. They did emergency surgery and
Many tubes were placed, a neck tube
three chest tubes and a stomach peg tube and an intestinal pej tube.
plus others. He spent several days in the ICU and then some on the main
floor. Over two weeks were spent in the hospital and now he
resides with Zac and I in the Ronald McDonald house next to the
hospital.
well things are progressing from there.

Green and Awesome

summer adventure

No one ever plans to go to Wichita, it just happens.
This is not a place for vacations unless you want to
go to bible school.
Jared is progressively getting better and if all
goes well we can go home. Yahoo.

Zac and I went to the Universe Within, the Human body
exibit with real bodies, it was very interesting, and
totally creepy at the same time.

Tyson comes home in two and a half months.
He is doing amazing, and Jon is suppose to
go to Arizona for more training with the national
guard in August.

Bry is keeping g and g busy with all his summer
activities, and being sick.

later
