Happy Family!

Richards Family Update!




Bentley:

Happy boy!
Bentley is growing so fast! He turned 18 months and we celebrated with a swiss roll:) He loves to keep mom and Dad on their feet. He loves to go to the park, and play. He also loves cars, trains, and balls. Right now his absolute favorite thing to do is jump! He treats his bed like a trampoline, and loves when mom and dad watch him jump:) He also loves to hang out with his grandmas and grandpas. He loves them all so much! 

Lezlie:

I have had a lot going on. I started playing in the Lakewood Symphony and it is so good to be playing again. Our last concert was all Sibelius, which is one of my favorites. I also ran a half marathon! I am so glad that I did and have decided to run the Phoenix Marathon in February with my sisters! I was also able to make a quick trip home where I spent the weekend with my family in New Mexico. It was nice to have a break, and I even got to see my sister perform in a show. 
Sarah and I after the race! I couldn't have done it without her!

I even got a medal:)

Alex:

He had a birthday! He is now 28 years old. Bentley and I took him mini golfing then went out to dinner afterwards we celebrated with an ice-cream cake. Alex is still busy with work, but Bentley and I are proud of him. He works hard and does a good job for his company. He has started applying to get his MBA so that is exciting. We still won't know where we are going or when he is starting for a while. But The process is started:) He is a wonderful Husband who has supported me in all I do. Plus he is a wonderful Dad who Bentley adores.

Family:

We have been doing so good. Even with Alex working long hours we are still able to do lots of things together. We have been on lots of walks, gone out to dinner, and spent time with Family. Alex and I have also been able to have a few date nights. We went to one Alexs' coworker weddings, been out to dinner, and we ran the Broomfield days 5k together! We are a happy family and we will continue to update you with our happy life:) But for now enjoy some more pictures!

Bentley's Heart-March 6, 2018

Since moving to Tracy, I have realized that a lot of people aren't aware of Bentleys heart. Not that I don't want people to know, I just have a hard time bringing it up. Before I update his condition, I'll just give a little background on what it is. Bentley was born with a rare heart condition called Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (cctga).The easy way to explain it is the arteries on his heart are switched, the larger artery which is supposed pump blood to his body, is pumping blood to his lungs, and the smaller artery which is supposed to pump blood to his lungs, is pumping the blood to his body.  Cctga comes in 3 forms and Bentley has the most rare. His Cctga also causes him to have a heart block, which just means his the top and bottom of his heart aren't beating in sync, causing his heart to beat at a slower rate.  Most of the times when diagnosed with Cctga kids have other major issues with their hearts and need open hear...

It is also cheaper rent and we are allowed to have pets! So my family drove my cat Lovey all the way from New Mexico to be with us :) We are enjoying our new ward and are enjoying the nice weather by going on walks to the parks around us. Our sweet kitty Lovey! We also Blessed Bentley and we had lots of family come for his blessing, Alex did a beautiful job and gave such a sweet blessing to our boy. Justin also came to visit!

Bentley surgery update ♥️

Before I was able to update the blog about Bentley’s surgery it got moved up! Surgery was scheduled for November 28. Then on Wednesday of last week the surgeons office called and said they would need to move his surgery later date. However that had a last minute opening on Friday and asked if that would be enough time. We have already been waiting for a couple months so we said we could do Friday!  So here I am writing this on my phone from the hospital. 🙂 Let me back up a little bit. The week of November 3 Bentley had a series of tests and procedures to see if he would be a candidate for the double switch surgery. My awesome mother in law came out and took care of Hadley while we were in and out of the hospital that week.  He ended up not being a candidate yet, the pressure in his artery still needed to be a little higher before they would consider him a candidate,  so we proceeded with our previous plan of just tightening his PA Band.  When we found out ou...
