HENSLEY HOPES: Ally back at the hospital.

Ally back at the hospital.

Monday morning Ally was having hot flashes and not eating well. Her head would be covered in sweat and her feet would be freezing cold. On Sunday we had her baby blessing and we had removed our feeding tube to give her a brake. It also needed to be replaced. We put it back in on Sunday night. All Sunday we noticed that she was sneezing and coughing really bad. We thought that removing the feeding tube would help but it didn't. Monday after her first hot flash I made an appointment with a pediatrician after hours. Our pediatrician is off on Mondays. And it seems that everything happens on Monday. So this pedestrian we went to wasn't very familiar with Allyson. He didn't know anything about her diaphragmatic hernia and her breathing. He then sent us to Primary's on a concern of how fast she was breathing. She seemed to be fine breathing wise with us. We went to the ER. They were concerned because she was pail and immediately put her on oxygen. They took blood and urine samples for testing. She has her mom's veins and they had to poke her three times to get blood. After being at the ER for 3 hours we were finally admitted to the hospital. The diagnosed her with a viral infection in her nose and throat infection and feeding problems. She has always not feed well and has never eaten everything from her bottle. Tuesday night they pumped her food continueusly for 6 hours with the result of throwing up twice. I was a little mad that they wouldn't turn off the pump when she was throwing up. Can't they tell that she had had enough. Last night Josh and I spent the night at home. We we both very tired and I wasn't feeling that well. I felt bad leaving but I thought she would be ok. I came today to find out that last night was not the best night for her ether. She had a fever and wasn't interested in eating anything. This morning when we came here she has not been her self and very fussy. I should have stayed at the Hospital with her. She hopeful will be discharged tomorrow. I totally think that this whole visit has been unnecessary.

Established June 15, 2002. Josh and I met at LDS Business College Jan. 28, 2002 in a IT class for dummies. He was actually interested in the blond girl sitting next to me. She however was waiting for a missionary. Then he noticed that I was smart, funny, not to mention I was a red head. We started dating in February. Decided to get married 2 weeks later. Were engaged by March and were married in June. I was 19 and he was just off his mission. We have been through a lot. But we still love each other more and more everyday. I'm so glad he picked me.

Josh grew up in Washington State in a tiny town called Zillah. He is the Youngest of 7 children. His parents both were married and their spouses died. His mom had two boys and a girl. His dad had two girls and a boy. They then married each other and had Josh. He is awesome. He's funny, smart and makes me laugh everyday. He currently works for the state of Utah as a Corrections Officer. He works at the Draper Prison. He is a great provider and does his best. I honestly don't think I could have married anyone better. He keeps me sane. Everyday he shows me how much he loves me with a touch, a smile, a hug. I don't know if anyone else could have put up with me through the years. I love him so much.

Evie Nanette Hensley was born on June 14, 2007. She was 5 lb. 15 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. She was born with a birth defect called a Diaphragmatic Hernia. This was a whole in her diaphragm that allowed all of the organs from the bottom half of her body to enter the chest cavity. Her heart, stomach, intestines and liver were all in the top half of her body. This caused one of her lungs to not develop properly. She also received a brain hemorrhage that made in impossible for her to be put on a ECMO machine to help her survive. She returned to our Heavenly Father on June 15, 2007 after 14 hours of life. Our 5th wedding anniversary. We love her and miss her everyday. We can't wait for the day when I will see her again.

Allyson Belle Hensley joined the family on February 27, 2009. She weighed 4 lb. 8 oz. and was 17 1/2 inches long. She also was 6 1/2 weeks early. She like Evie also had a Diaphragmatic Hernia. She was born with only 20% of her diaphragm. She spent 4 months at Primary Children's NICU after birth and 1 month in their PICU a year later. She has had her Hernia repaired three times. We also found out that she only has one kidney. Her right one works wonderfully but she has no left kidney. She was on oxygen and a feeding tube constantly until November 2009 to February 2010 . Friday June 11, 2010 Allyson returned to her Heavenly Father surrounded by loving family. She had a cardiac arrest on Tuesday June 8th and suffered massive brain damage. She was in a coma until Friday when life support was removed. She died peacefully Friday June 11, 2010 at 3:20 p.m. She will be missed by all who knew her. I am so grateful for the time I had with her. I will miss her wonderful smiles in the morning. We love you so much Ally. Forever and Always.

Gracie Lynn Hensley made her grand entrace on July 18, 2011. She weighed 6 lb. 7 oz. and was 21 1/4 inches long. The bigest child we have had so far. She was sceduled to be induced July 18th @ 7:30 am but wanted to come on her own terms. She decided to come earlier at 2:21 am. She was born perfect. No problems with CDH. She did have a bit of Jondas, but is doing fabulous. It has been such a blessing to be able to hold her from birth and be able to take her home after our hospital stay. I can't stop holding her and kissing her. I truely thank Heavenly Father for our wonderful blessing every day.
