7 Birds in a Nest: June 2012

http://candibird.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 3, 2012. Kenasyn Rayne's Birth Story. Okay, so it's been over three weeks, I guess it's time to tell Miss Kenasyn Rayne's birth story. As most of you know from reading past posts, our we knew that our little Kena was going to be born with some issues. We really didn't know the extent of the issues, other than she had a shortened limb, a club foot, and possible spina bifida. Little did we know. By 9 o'clock, I had my epidural, and was comfortably waiting for my little angel to arrive. Ivory h...

7 Birds in a Nest: November 2012

http://candibird.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 5, 2012. Long overdue (p.s. sorry, no pictures) :(. If I thought the last one was overdue, this one is LONG OVER DUE! So much has happened in the past few months! All of the older kids have had birthdays, Kenasyn is going in for another surgery Wednesday, and life in general has just been crazy busy! The kids are all growing like weeds (well, except for Kena). Cayge is maturing into a young man, and I can't believe that he will be 11 tomorrow! Where has the time gone? She is going to be ...

7 Birds in a Nest: August 2012

http://candibird.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Man, a lot has happened since I last updated this ol' blog! Summer is nearly over, the kids are growing like weeds, and my grass is dying in this dang heat! So I'd imagine most of you are here for an update on Kenasyn. She is doing really good! I love my Kena-bug! Ivory sure loves her baby sister! Daddy holding Kenasyn shortly after her surgery. We couldn't keep her O2 stats up from the original pain meds they gave her, so she was on blow-by oxygen for 6 hours after surgery.

Friday, January 25, 2013. Ok, so I am going to write my post, and later, I will do a post just with pix. I PROMISE! So much has happened since my post in November! Of course the kids are all growing, and doing well! All three older kids had straight A's at the end of the semester, which made my heart sing! Now to Kenasyn's update. (cause I know that's why you all are REALLY here, which is ok, cause that's what I mostly blog about anyways). She is such a character! Tibial Hemimelia (Left Leg). But this gi...

Tuesday, April 23, 2013. So Much Craziness, WITH PICTURES! Let me start off by saying, I don't type on a computer nearly enough! I do everything either on my iPhone or ipad. It is seriously like having to relearn how to type. I just expect every word to finish typing itself halfway through the word, or I expect it to put a period at the end of my sentence if I just push the space bar twice. Man, typing on a computer makes me feel like a flaming idiot! Ok Ok, I FINALLY posted some pictures! Her surgeon wa...

7 Birds in a Nest: May 2013

http://candibird.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 7, 2013. Ok, So Rayce took these pictures of Kenasyn at the end of February right before she had her Hip surgery and was put in a Spica cast for 8 weeks. None of these have been edited (I can't pin my husband down long enough to have him do it, or teach me to do it! So some of them are a little dark. But oh, well, ENJOY! I love this picture, she's going in for the grab of the foot! She loves to shrug her shoulders at us. It's really quite cute. Kena is a binkie baby through-n-through! She lo...

7 Birds in a Nest: December 2011

http://candibird.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 19, 2011. As most of you probably have figured out from my SUPER extended brake from blogging, we have been Crazy busy! Since we moved back to Shelley in June, we have been going NONSTOP! It has been good though! I desperately miss Moscow, and our friends there, but it is also great being back with other friends and of course, family! Since I posted last, all 4 kids have had birthdays! Had had hers, but I hadn't posted on it yet. Oops! Is our little 6 year old (her birthday was in August!

7 Birds in a Nest

http://candibird.blogspot.com/?zx=a9fa79c030984e93

Friday, January 17, 2014. So I have many new followers, especially on InstaGram. I just wanted to give a quick overview of Kenasyn's story in her short little life. (If you'd like the more detailed story, my first post on her is Febuary 2012). When I was 25 weeks old, we had a "sex check" ultrasound to check if she was a boy or a girl. (Her 20 week u/s was inconclusive). That was the day our life started to unravel! Tibial Hemimelia (1 in 5 million). Fibular Hemimelia (1 in 1 million). At 24 days old, sh...
