2008:
<br />
September 15 -
<br />
Grandma talked about her bean farm (I always thought it was a potato farm, since it is Idaho)
<br />
<br />
September 16 -
<br />
Grandma talked about growing up... knew grandpa from real young but he was a grade older so they didn't start dating until she was a Junior. They dated until she graduated and then got married after her Senior year.
<br />
Nector Juice started when they would go fishing (Grandma's favorite juice, when she would fish with Grandpa)
<br />
Maple Nut Ice Cream was Leon's favorite too (it is Grandma's favorite)
<br />
Grandma went to Hawaii to pick up Dennis from his mission and loved the pineapples, she called them "hula's" (she couldn't remember the word pineapple).<br />
She learned to Hula dance (we asked her if she would Hula dance for us and she said she doesn't want to break her hip)<br />
Grandma talked about how she doesn't want a pacemaker because she doesn't want to live to be any older in this physical condition.
<br />
<br />
September 18 -
<br />
We drove past Grandma and her siblings and dad and the other kids old school. She said “now Mexicans have taken it over.”
<br />
<br />
September 22 -
<br />
Grandma was so happy I'm back! “I don't want you to leave again.”
<br />
Grandpa had a dog, it died and he was broken up so he got a new one and named it Rover. He taught Rover to go under the chicken coop and get the eggs without breaking them (Sweet). When Rover died he decided he was done with dogs.
<br />
K- Grandma how old are you? G- 83 K- Good age. G- What!?! (so funny face)
<br />
“I want my chair, well electric chair... I think that might tingle a little.”
<br />
Grandpa's proposal... He took Grandma to a movie then afterwards they were just talking and he says I have something for ya. He pulls out a beautiful ring box and said will this fit you. Then he gave it to her and then asked can I have that back, I got this from a dime store so I want to get you a real one.
<br />
Grandpa was just like a son to Grandma's dad so he was thrilled.
<br />
Grandma's dad was going on a trip to Vernal Utah and asked if Carl wanted to go even though he wasn't a son. That night Grandma's dad forgot his pajama's so Carl let him wear his.
<br />
Grandma's wedding ring is her second one. Her first one was silver and she wore it all the way through so she picked out this new one.
<br />
“I was going with three Garner's at the same time. Cousins. Oh and what a Christmas I had. I knew what I was doing.” One cousin gave her a dresser set with a mirror (she liked him the least). The other cousin gave her a compact with gold on it. And Carl gave her a blue satin robe with silver running through it.
<br />
I wore shorts that say “One Love” on the butt. Grandma stares at my butt and says cute!
<br />
“What are they gonna do with us old people... Do you think they'll have computers in heaven... If they have computers in heaven I'm lost.”
<br />
Grandma talked about how she's sad grandpa went first, she wanted to because now he's going to be so far ahead of her, with him being gone for twenty years already.
<br />
G- Do you want a piece of candy? K- No thanks. G- Well you better have one so you can round out.
<br />
<br />
September 23 -
<br />
Carla and Lyn stopped by (Lyn is Grandpa's cousin)
<br />
Grandma went to the Twin Fall Temple dedication and loved it (it was a while ago).
<br />
My mother used to tell me Merintha if you take one more bite like that you'll have to leave the table (Grandma was eating breakfast and her last bite was big).
<br />
“Oh I was supposed to die 3 months ago.”
<br />
Grandma talked about the Nauvoo Temple and how the family went and she got to watch the Grandchildren do baptisms for the dead and then was taken up to the celestial room and she got to watch the adults come out (everyone all in white).
<br />
Drove past the house that Grandma's oldest brother built an used to live in (all her siblings but one sister have passed away).
<br />
Almost every Saturday we'd all get together and bring a lunch and water ski. Dennis and Doyle were good even when they were young (Doyle was always a little better though).
<br />
<br />
September 24 -
<br />
“Last night I had a dream with my brothers, my twin brothers” (I didn't know she had twin brothers).
<br />
Grandma used to love to fish. She'd stay until dark and Grandpa would wait in the car for her to finally be done. “There was always one more for me to get.”
<br />
<br />
September 25 -
<br />
We went and sat on the deck. Grandma told me that they used to have a green carpet out there. They would have meals, and they were so nice. With long tables and so much room.
<br />
They used to water the grass and they would flood it. The kids would splash and play in the wet grass, the grass was perfect for the kids.
<br />
<br />
September 26 -
<br />
Grandma got a picture in the mail of her, Doyle, Thayne, and Cache. She goes on and on about it, she looks at it all the time. “That Doyle always sounds so happy and jovial, like nothing bad has ever happened... Thayne looks so proud. He's such a nice boy too... This picture's mine? I'm so happy!”
<br />
Grandma and the kids used to wake up early, the whole family. The boys would milk the cows, the girls would make breakfast and straighten up their rooms. Then when the boys came in, everyone would all eat together.
<br />
Grandma "I used to go out and work/ride with my husband when we were first married. We'd sing and talk and just have a good time."<br />
<br />
September 29 -
<br />
Grandma used to work on the farm, she wasn't very big but still worked along side everyone. Her and the other kids used to play kick the can and there was a bush that one kid would always hide behind and jump out trying to scare everyone else.
<br />
One year Santa Claus gave her an electric stove for Christmas. She had a little pan and her mom would give her some sugar and cream and grandma would just sit over the stove and just stir. One time her brother Earl was mad because she made fudge and didn't save any for him. (Earl was one of the twins)
<br />
“I had so much fun with twin brothers and then twin sons.”
<br />
Grandma and her siblings didn't fight much, they were all really close. "Some of us had our days, but nothing really."<br />
Her twin brothers, Earl and Verl wouldn't want to go to church sometimes and so Grandma's dad would say you know you want to go so just run and get your clothes on (when Grandma's dad said something he ment business).
<br />
Grandpa's sister had twin girls, another had a boy and a girl twin, and she had Doyle and Dennis (there were all right around the same age too).
<br />
Whenever they would go camping as a family or as a church group, Grandma would always have a bag of caramels made up.
<br />
“When we built this house one of the first things I wanted was a dishwasher.”

The last thing Grandma remembers before her mother and father passed away was her mom, she was in a beautiful white dress that she made and she was in the kitchen and Grandma's father came in and embraced her and then kissed her.

Hey, I just wanted to start putting updates here for all of you wondering what Grandma is feeling like. It seems like things with her are never the same, so I didn't want to bombard you all with texts or emails. Now you can just log on and check her status when you 're interested.

I don't know how much everyone has heard, but Grandma isn't doing well. She had a good morning yesterday with Arlene and ate a big breakfast. She even felt good enough to have Arlene curl her hair before breakfast, but while she was eating she slumped over in her chair. Arlene thought she was asleep at first but soon figured out she had gone unconscious. She called Terry who came right over. When Terry came over she had stopped breathing, but eventually it came back. They just watched her for a while and then eventually the nurse came. It turns out she had a stroke and as a result the right side of her body is currently paralyzed. They said we'd know more after 24 hours. Since her feeling hasn't come back yet it is possible it won't, but we will probably know more after the nurse comes back around noon today.
<br />
I don't know how many details you want so I am just going to tell you everything I know. My mom and I dropped everything at that point yesterday and ran up to be with her. We know she can hear our voice and knows we are there. She can't speak and hasn't been able to since her stroke. She hadn't open her eyes at all until this morning, and even then only has opened them two or three times just a little bit. We don't know if she could see but can see that she did open her eyes a little bit for a few seconds.
<br />
She can't communicate with us. Really the only thing that works well is her left hand and arm. Sometimes she moves her left leg. She can move her hand and hold our hand. Yesterday she would smile (with only her left side) but today I have only seen an almost smile once or twice...and I don't know if it was voluntary. With that said, I have been at Terry's (to work since he has the internet) for a few hours so she may have smiled while I was over here. Since she can't communicate with us which is hard because we don't know what she wants or if she needs anything, but we are doing our best to make sure she is comfortable.
<br />
I know she knows we are there though because when we first walked in as soon as she heard my voice she started breathing faster. When she heard my mom's voice she reached up her hand. When Terry came she let go of my hand and lifted up her hand for his.
<br />
She has had a hard time breathing, so her bed is elevated and she is propped up with pillows to where she is almost sitting. Her breathing is labored although pretty constant, and you can hear a crackling sound as she breathes.
<br />
She can't eat or drink anything. She can't swallow so we take a small sponge and wet her lips and inside of her mouth sometimes to keep her mouth from being dry. It looks like she has only been breathing through her mouth. We have to be careful when we do this because if we get more than a few drops in her mouth she chokes and can't breathe.
<br />
We are trying our best to keep her comfortable. I know she can hear our voice and knows we are there. I imagine it's frustrating not being able to communicate back, but I don't know how much she is aware of at this point.
<br />
The nurse is supposed to call at 12. I think we may look into a catheter because it is really hard on her when we change her. Moving her around seems to make her breathing harder. However when the nurse came yesterday after the stroke she said her vitals were good. Her oxygen was at 95 (with her oxygen on) and her pulse was 80 I think. I know her pulse was 80 last night.
<br />
Keep her in your prayers...I know this is a hard time for everyone. 1 person can no longer take care of her. We are just keeping someone with her around the clock so she isn't scared, and so we can help her since she can't call us.
<br />
Right now my mom and Arlene are giving her a sponge bath and changing her bedding. That should make her more comfortable. Her face and hands felt cold yesterday, but then last night they both got very hot. This morning they cooled down again but just about an hour ago they got very hot again. We think she has a fever but haven't taken her temperature.
<br />
When we aren't holding her hand she uses it to pick at her clothing and bedding. Meticulous movements that seem to be involuntary or have no meaning.
<br />
That's all I know right now. Obviously no one knows what we are really dealing with yet. Since she can't swallow we put 1 adivan (pill) under her tongue every so often which calms her down and makes her breathing not so labored.
<br />
I will keep you updated! Text me with any questions. Anytime. 801-687-7441

2:30 Friday - the nurse came. She is comfortable. Her face is calm and her vitals are good. She started opening her eyes but can't speak. We aren't sure if she can see. The nurse said things look as expected and pretty stable. We put in a catheter.
<br />
After the nurse left terry and Richard gave her a beautiful blessing.
<br />
Doyle is on the phone now talking to her. Her eyes are open a little bit.
<br />
Dennis is coming tonight and my mom and I are planning on going home tomorrow if things go well tonight. The nurse said we should be ok to go back for the weekend.

4:30 Friday- she is having a hard time breathing--has been for about 30 minutes Terry is holding her hand and we are trying to get her to relax. She is doing a little better and is cooling down a little (she gets really hot when she struggles to breathe) but she is still having a hard time. Her pulse is racing.

6:30 - the nurse just came. She was struggling with her breath again and is breathing very noisily. We switched her patch to a higher dose and gave her 1 1/2 adivan to make her more comfortable. She is now sleeping and although her body is struggling her face is calm and she looks peaceful.
<br />
The nurse stressed the importance of making the room relaxing. She suggested rubbing her back or arms to comfort her. We are playing soft music and holding her hand as she sleeps.
<br />
Prognosis- both nurses this morning and tonight agree we are looking at no more than a week to ten days although obviously no one can predict. The nurse tonight kept stressing the importance of just making her comfortable.

8:15 - she is still sleeping so peacefully. Arlene came back to bring us oils to rub on her feet to calm her. We are using lavender and cedar wood. Arlene is telling us about how cedar wood unscrambles peoples DNA. She said Solomons house was made out of cedar which is what makes him so wise She also said it helps you from going bald. I don't know about that but it should help calm Grandma and that's what matters.

10:30 - we crushed up 1 1/2 adivan and put it under her tounge. She didn't wake up. Her breathing is steady and not as labored but rattling. We decided to split up the night into 5 shifts. My shift is from 10-12 then Cathryn will be here from 12-2 then Dennis from 2-4 then terry from 4-6 then my mom from 6-8. Our rule is if things get hard we wake someone else up so we are not alone.

Midnight - Cathryn came to take over her shift. Her pulse was 64 and she was taking 40 breaths per minute.
<br />
1:10 am Cathryn was here. Her pulse was 62 with 34 breaths per minute.
<br />
2:30 am - Dennis was up with her. He gave her 1 1/2 adivan and she is taking 32 breaths per minute.
<br />
5:15 am - Terry's shift. My mom and I got up when we could hear her loud rattling from the other room. She is working very hard to breathe. Although she is awake and her eyes are open she seems pretty calm. The Mormon tabernacle choir is on in the background. She keeps reaching in front of her. My mom is on one side
<br />
holding her hand and Terry is on the other.
<br />
We gave her 2 adivan to try to help calm her. She is sweating from working so hard. Still her face seems calm and comfortable.
<br />
Her pulse is 132 but going down. She is taking 56 breaths per minute. We just took her pulse again which is now 76 but irregular and we can tell she has calmed down a bit.

6:00 am - Her breathing was consistent although loud. She would reach up and forward with her arm toward something we couldn't see Her breathing went quiet and shallow for 30 seconds and then stopped. Her face was calm and she wasn't struggling. Her breathing stopped at exactly 6:00 am. and she was gone. Our sweet Grandma has finally returned back home to her parents, siblings, husband, and son. What a wonderful day for her. I couldn't be more proud of her.

Well here are some of my favorite pictures so far... (PS order is backwards chronalogically)</div><div>1st - I went to general conference at the conference center for the morning session with my 2 besties, Trevor and Kaylee. We then watched the second session at my sister in-law, Cara's house. And afterward went home and dyed eggs and made hamburgers (thanks to Thayne and MaryAnne!) and also made homemade french fries after both Trevor and I got burned we decided to call it quits and eat what we had.</div><div>2- I spend wed. with my niece Evie and she is a blast I love playing with her and this picture is her in a nut shell! I am so lucky to have chad and cara so close.</div><div>3rd and 4th- Shantel and I went to Gardner Village last tue it was so much fun, those boots are the only purchase I made in all the cuteness boutiques we went to, I was very proud of myself. Afterward, we went to dinner and had fried green tomatoes and fried avacados they were so so amazing. Then we had a chicken sandwich and steak. Yummy yummy dinner and a muffin top for dessert. I love Shantel days and am so sad she will be leaving me so soon for texas!</div><div>Finally- Kaylee and I went to the festival of colors last week it was so much fun. We walked like 6 miles to get there cause we parked further away then we should have and didn't know where we were going. But we were much smarter coming back and I asked a guy if we could jump in the bed of his truck, he was very kind and brought us to just a block from our car! Afterward we stopped at a small Trolley Restaurant in Springville for dinner, the waiter was super hot and the atmospher was so awesome and the food was pretty good, sadly not amazing. But for dessert we went to DQ and I got the best blizzard I've ever had.<br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div>Karianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09835642180376825923noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710970134803599052.post-52115584366228504782010-02-09T21:07:00.000-08:002010-04-26T19:25:11.564-07:00More Craftieness from the weekend :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDYYAuxPYgF-d72twl5Btf3c2nHdZ1_xdF2letQIiAAnNgtiAf1_f7nYopFiCXTTxTAqySZoJbuHdMhHURj_DclUKA4dox3dM1Tg3T64B260IYp9R77p5n_iXWo0JiRuHp0YGs6Ed-yPJa/s1600-h/02.07+(1).jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436478342877887154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDYYAuxPYgF-d72twl5Btf3c2nHdZ1_xdF2letQIiAAnNgtiAf1_f7nYopFiCXTTxTAqySZoJbuHdMhHURj_DclUKA4dox3dM1Tg3T64B260IYp9R77p5n_iXWo0JiRuHp0YGs6Ed-yPJa/s320/02.07+(1).jpg" /></a><br /><div>So Cutter's birthday was today and over the weekend I got a new card making magazine and decided to try out on of them.

I started apprenticing at a hair salon (Studio 210) in Orem. I absolutely love working at this salon. I get tons of one on one time instead of school where there are lots of students. It's my kind of learning :) I feel like I've already learned tons and continue to progress. (PS I can bring in my own clients and charge half price, it's a great learning experience and practice time for me, and I would love anyone in the area to come in.) It's so nice to actually enjoy my work! Well beside the salon I also nanny for my sister-in-law in Sandy on wed. I love the opportunity to spend time with my niece and make a little extra earnings on the side. Since I've been here I've stayed busy even outside of work... I've been to Logan 3x, Sandy 5x, and SLC 2x. And my car is still chugging along, he is a real champ :)<br />The first week I was here mom was in town so I got to spend time with here, which was a great surprise. My second weekend I went and saw my good friend in Logan, it was a short trip but was so worth it. Christmas was awesome, I went to Sandy and spent it with Cara's family. They were a blast. New Years I went to Logan and spent it with Shantel and JJ. We had a mini buffet and just relaxed it was exactly what I needed. And this past weekend was Cutter's baby blessing so I went to Sandy and got to see mom and dad and lots of family. It was a way fun weekend!<br />Not to jinx it but everything is going great! I couldn't ask for anything more in my life. I have a great job, loving family, and close friends. I couldn't be more blessed as this new year begins.Karianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09835642180376825923noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710970134803599052.post-1468530368041481392009-12-22T19:41:00.000-08:002009-12-22T20:04:29.990-08:00Indiana kids christmas party<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_llh8cEC737M/SzGTRlwnyWI/AAAAAAAAANU/xa60h3JqS7c/s1600-h/12.12.09+(6).jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418273757106522466" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_llh8cEC737M/SzGTRlwnyWI/AAAAAAAAANU/xa60h3JqS7c/s320/12.12.09+(6).jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqKxkvBB_bOr3r64BfEUfHnzunyhxmhiN2hdGia8ajl-fnQsF05Myq-5zviQ2AKT-Pjv3Dd1-AvmKkP3SGoCZHq1LSkBGmJRGX-qx2YMZfzirFnpFEznbsc9rluSp_IzdDU3203n8592h/s1600-h/12.12.09+(5).jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418272967850796610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqKxkvBB_bOr3r64BfEUfHnzunyhxmhiN2hdGia8ajl-fnQsF05Myq-5zviQ2AKT-Pjv3Dd1-AvmKkP3SGoCZHq1LSkBGmJRGX-qx2YMZfzirFnpFEznbsc9rluSp_IzdDU3203n8592h/s320/12.12.09+(5).jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTAJ8shQW8sBGakRV84AatYVdBSRX6uBnpfJ6tM24813-wnYoAMRGhyphenhyphenBN3JsJBAW1rcqzLhf8LFwUHbP04-oGTmb9ZU7Xt50nYYN4oz66rgKpRz41tGJyDE5t5BqVcPNLNJC97jwZD_KUU/s1600-h/12.12.09+(4).jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418272222320163266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTAJ8shQW8sBGakRV84AatYVdBSRX6uBnpfJ6tM24813-wnYoAMRGhyphenhyphenBN3JsJBAW1rcqzLhf8LFwUHbP04-oGTmb9ZU7Xt50nYYN4oz66rgKpRz41tGJyDE5t5BqVcPNLNJC97jwZD_KUU/s320/12.12.09+(4).jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Karianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09835642180376825923noreply@blogger.com0
