My wife is going to live!
Hey all,
A little update about the S. Hawley fam. Rhonda had a bad abdominal attack about 2 weeks ago. We were at the ER for several hours while they monitored her. They took some ultrasounds and told use they would contact us back when they found out more. They were saying it could be gall stones or a pancreatic attack. If it were the latter she would be threatened with cancer if not removed and diabetes if it were removed. Thanks to your prayers and mom putting her name in the temple the doctors called us and said she just has several gall stones. We found out that they recomend she wait until after she give birth to have them removed if she can. If she has another attck before the baby comes though they will force her to get the surgery right away.
Speaking of the baby, the pregnancy is going great. Nothing to report about there except that Rhonda is losing weight instead of gaining. She is only 7 pounds heavier then when she wasn't pregnant. The doctors say it's fine though because the baby is still growing. We are excited and scared for May 30th. We look forward to a little girl but we are feeling the pressure of being way over our heads.
Aaron is doing well. He is dancing with different moves now. He will bob up and down, then clap, then pat his legs, then twirl around and around. He is communicating with sign language as well when he is hungry or wants more. We really like that! The only problem so far is that he uses the eat sign for food and drink. He doesn't like it when we give him the wrong one. LOL! Just 2 days ago he figured out how to tickle us back. He will lift up your shirt, pinch you, and say "ikle, ikle, ikle!" He is only 15 months old.
Work is going ok and Rhonda and I are both back in school. I only have five classes left after this semester! Our tax return was good to us and we have most of our debts paid off now. We only have some medical bills and student loans left. I was able to fix the 150cc scooter I acquired and ride it to work every day now. ( Hope your jealous Hans. LOL) It's nice to have my own mode of transportation. I certainly can't commute with it though. It's not freeway legal in Utah. I like being able to leave the car with Rhonda though while I'm at work.
Finally, I know you will all say we are crazy but we now have three ferrets. We only have 1 ferret for the last 2 years. Don't worry, we got a HUGE cage and put it out side in the back yard. We are not stinking up the house. I have a co-worker that had to get rid of her 2 ferrets. She had the huge cage and lots of equipment. It was all given to us for free so it is no extra cost to us. Ferrets eat dry cat food so they are very cheap to keep. Anyway, the two new ferrets are sooo cute, their fur is so soft and cuddly, and they love people. We thought Karrot was cool but now we see her real personality when comparing her to the other two. She is mean and rough to the others. I can't blame her since we had a cat for awhile that she had to defend herself against. (Oh ya, we got rid of our cat before we moved to this new place.) Karrot is great with people but not other animals. Oh, we got a boy and a girl. The boy is Soot and the girl is Asha. So ya, we have 3 ferrets. If any of you want a ferret we have plenty and we could give you a good cage to go with it. They are all fixed and their scent glands have been cut out so they aren't as stinky as a wild ferret. I'm not trying to get rid of any of them but I know that we won't be able to keep them forever. Well that's enough for now I'm sure.
Love Spencer, Rhonda, and Aaron
