This is LIFE

On Aug 12th Cliff was at work, working on a chevy when he moved a certain way he heard and felt a loud pop in his back (where the hardware is) he sat down and moved around nothing hurt so he went back to work but then something starting squeaking and moaning in the back, he decided to come home. He comes in and I can hear him when he walks he sounded like an old wood floor. We decide to go to the ER and get x-rays make sure nothing horribly bad happened.
He gets the x-rays and we wait for the results and they come in and say everything looks great with the hardware, ok so what is up with the noise when he walks. They listened to him walk and they don't know.
The next day (13th) we call his surgeon to see what he wants us to do, well just send the x-rays and let him see them. they got sent the same day.
The 14th call to see if they had received them, NO. so the weekend goes by.
The 17th call to see if they received them, YES but the dr hasn't looked at them yet.
The 18th dr still hasn't looked at them.
The 19th they call, Dr. said everything looks great. ok so what do we do he makes a squeaking noise when he moves. With plenty of rest and med everything should be ok. Well for the past wk that is all cliff has done, something is wrong he want to see the Dr. we could get you in on OCTOBER 6th. Are you kidding something not right. well Cliff finally got upset yelled at the nurse to have the Dr. call him himself.
The 20th at 9:30 that night the Dr. calls Cliff explains what happened, Dr says get a CT and come and see him, the nurse will call the next day to set it up
The 21st nurse calls gets him a CT scheduled and a apt to see Dr. in valley on Tues Aug 25th. Amazing what can be accomplished by getting straight to the Dr.
We are hoping and praying that the Dr. can figure out what happened and what we can do to fix this, and that I don't have a baby until he gets back from the valley. It's hard to not be able to go with him, but I also now that I don't want to have the baby down there either.

Pregnancy note:
Every where I go somebody tells me that I just look miserable, well guess what I AM I am soooo ready to have this baby, see what she looks like if she is more like Kaylyn or Taylee. We still don't have any idea on what to name this one ( any ideas).

Poor Guy!! That does not sound good at all. I hope everything turns out okay. Good luck with baby girl #3. I had a hard time choosing a girl name because there was so many that I loved. I remember before I had Ashlyn we saw you guys at the Christmas party and I was HUGE!!! The last month is not very fun:)
