watching this reminds me how important being there for people we care about really is.. a sick day can still be a Best Day Ever when enjoyed with Family
Adley, Navey, and Dad are all downstairs! we aren't doing our typical morning routine because today isn't your typical Best Day Ever, its a sick Best Day Ever! Niko got sick and it started making it hard for him to breath. Jenny, being the smarty pants that she is, knew they needed to go to the doctor. And when they did, the doctor said that he has RSV and needs to go to the hospital. So the girls have been missing Niko Bear lots so we are making him get well soon cards and we also 3D printed some toys from his favorite video game. You know we love doing crafts so these are from the heart.
While Adley and Navey are finishing their cards, Lets jump to some footage that Jenny and I filmed last night when Niko Bear went to the hospital. He was so brave and basically a super hero. The gave him oxygen, hooked him up to machines to be able to keep an eye on him, and since he hasn't been able to eat much that last few days, they had to give him an IV. And since we need to go to a hospital more equipped to help a young guy like him, Niko gets to ride in an ambulance for the very first time. I get to ride with him and its my first time too!! Its kinda cool and a little scary cause we've never done this before, but Niko is to tough and enjoys the ride. We get settled into the new hospital and thankfully Niko gets some much needed sleep.
Back to today, because i rode in the ambulance with Niko, my truck was at left at the first hospital. So while we wait for Colby and Ian to bring the truck to us on a rescue mission, Adley and Navey play in the snow. it has been snowing in Utah, so the girls are running around following koopa tracks and making snowballs. We decide to have a snowball battle with Colby when he shows up. We make tons of snow balls, and as soon as he gets her the girls use him as target practice. They do really well, hitting him with almost every throw.
Adley and Navey want to get Niko a balloon to help him feel better. Almost as soon as we walk in the store we see a giant fuzzy monkey and we all think that is the perfect get well present for Niko. This guy is huge, he's funny, and so nice to cuddle with. So we get him and get to head up to the hospital to see niko!! He is so happy to see us and so surpised at his new giant monkey buddy! The girls give him big hugs and so do i! Niko even asks for a group hug!! He is so sweet!
We give niko the cards the girls made. We also got a card signed by the spacestation crew telling him to feel better. He loves them all. The super nice nurses bring us in some paint so that the kiddos and mom can all paint together. We also play some hide n seek in the tiny hosptial room and other fun stuff to help niko feel better and to have a best day ever.
While the kids are playing on their ipads, Adley joins our app crew in a game that isn't even out yet, our Roblox Rainbow Ghost Rescue. The kiddos love it. They are so happy playing and running away from pink and blue. Niko is smiling and laughing. I think probably the happiest he's been in a few days. We go for a walk in the halls and find a green wall so we pop up some lava to play the floor is lava. A little while later, the doctor come in and after checking Niko decides he gets to go home!! we are so excited!! They bring little cars for Niko and Navey to ride in on the way out of the hospital. We have a few speed races, a horn honking competition and huge smiles as we head to the tesla to go home!!
