Meet The Robinson's....

I know, I know it has been FOREVER since I have posted, but since we have been super busy with Nate in school full-time, me (tiff) in school full time, Nate picking up shifts here and there, Coby in preschool and tons of other appt.s and such, our pregnancy, and keeping up with an ever-changing 16 month old and lots of personal things we have endured, its a wonder how we make it through the day, most days.....but more on that in my next post.......as the title reads "kind of a fixer-upper" well keeping up with our ever-changing toddler Chase has been fun, and EXHAUSTING! he is a super busy-body boy from sun -up to sun-down constantly getting into things and getting hurt in some way, shape, or form. everyone says he is just like me an "ultra-clutz" and he is! he is constantly walking into walls, doors, falling down, bonking his head "you name it" and well tonight was a whopper....you see anyone who has been to our house knows we have a little island bar in our kitchen with real wood "HEAVY" bar stools. well chase has also takin a likeing to those said bar stools and thinks its funny to pull them down on the floor and hear the loud "BANG" that they make. I have tried and tried and tried again to get him to stop doing that and well...........I think he has now gotten the point (we can only hope). You see chase decided to pull the said bar stool down tonight to once again hear the loud "Bang", but this time he made one HUGE mistake and didnt move his toes out of the way this time and almost completly severd his two toes on his left foot:

exhibit A:


I know sick right?! you can blow it up to see it better. when chase dropped the bar stool on his foot it landed on the "sick toe" (this is right after they RE-ATTATCHED IT!) and nate said it splatted blood everywhere almost immediatly it was so GROSS! and I mean GROSS the pictures really dont do it justice the toe was completly smashed and hanging on by a little bit of skin and oh how it BLEED! im not exactly sure how many stitches he has, but quite a few. at first the dr's were skeptical if they would even be able to save it or have to partially amputate it, luckily we have heavenly father on our side and he decided to save it!...some maybe thinking "well its just a toe!" but still who wants to walk around with a funky toe. am I right?!

exhibit B:


yeah the pictures just dont do it justice! it was sick!

anywho were home now and our little buddy is relaxing comfortably, but it was quite the ordeal for him, because they had to Pampoose him (sp?) which basically mean they wrapped his body in a sheet, then they put this strap thing on him to he could not move a muscle and it totally freaked him out and he screamed and screamed and had good reason too.....poor baby they gave him a local anaesthetic and some versed and tylenol w/ codeine and that STILL did not knock him out, but he was a trooper though.....in case you are wondering "did he break anything?" SURPRISINGLY NOT! crazy huh?!


here's his foot all wrapped up afterwards....dr's say it could take weeks for it to heal and hope they it had successfully reattatched itself although it will look a little deformed, but hey at least he will have a story to tell in case anyone ever notices and asks' about it.


and here we are all done and as happy as can be, to have our baba, our blankey and to see and be held by mommy and daddy! WHAT A TROOPER!! he was.....we love you little monkey boy!

more to come about us soon, as I know some are dying to see the baby-bump and have an update on such....we love you all and a special thanks to my bro-in-law Will and my sis-in-law Terril and my mom-in-law and father-in-law for your help......coby was FREAKING out about his brother being hurt and only Uncle Will was able to calm him down, poor guy he was so scared for chase and all he kept screaming was "my baby momma! my baby chazzzz, baby, baby!!!!!!!!" it was so sad, as many times as those two fight, they sure do have tender hearts for one another!
