- I feel like today, our family is
kind of falling apart.
I obviously don't want him to have surgery
and they're gonna have to cut the whole section
that's infected out
(camera clicks) and,
I don't know how bad that's gonna be.
And...
Hi, SOTY family.
What's up guys?
I snuck up upstairs into
the bonus room just to get away for a second.
To let you guys know kind of what's going on right now.
I had other plans for today, other video plans but you know,
sometimes, unexpected things happen
and you know, you just gotta go with it.
So,
I feel like today, our family
is,
kind of falling apart,
a little bit like, physically.
We have a lot of things going on
and they kind of all happened at once today.
And it's kind of a little overwhelming.
So, I am up here taking a breather
and I'm filling you guys in.
So, Steve is currently at the hospital right now
and I can't be there because of
everything that's going on right now.
They only allow, you know, one person in.
And if you're an adult, you go in there by yourself.
He had
a lump,
a painful lump that was growing.
(bell beeps)
And he went in to the doctor's office
and they said that it looks like it's a,
aggressive rapid growing infection,
that could be deadly if it gets to his stomach.
So, they sent him straight to the hospital.
He already got a CT scan, and now he's just waiting
for results to see if he needs to get
some medication that can try to take care of it,
or if he's going to have to get surgery tonight.
Which isn't a good thing.
I obviously don't want him to have surgery
and they're gonna have to cut the whole section
that's infected out,
and,
I don't know how bad that's gonna be.
And he can't have anyone there with him,
and here with the kids.
Some of the kids aren't feeling well today.
And I just...
It's hard sometimes,
Like, the stress of being a mom and worrying
so much about your family.
And today, it just feels like everything has kind of,
came crushing down a little bit.
(upbeat music)
- Mom, I feel just so bad.
- [Mom] That seems to be growing.
(indistinct)
All right, guys.
So, here's the update on our family.
Things kind of went crazy last night.
I didn't get to film a lot of it,
and it's 12 o'clock and I'm still not ready for the day.
Steve just barely woke up.
So yes, he did come home last night.
They decided after they did the CT scan,
that he just needed some really powerful medication.
And then we're gonna keep an eye on his infection.
And if it seems to get worse or bigger
he has to go straight to the ER
and then he'll have to go straight into surgery.
But we're just hoping that the medication
and the antibiotics that they have him on
will help make that infection go down.
And so that he doesn't have to go
to the emergency room and have this horrible surgery.
And on another note and completely unrelated
to Steve's infection and what's going on with him.
Jordyn now has rashes all over her body.
We got special cream last night and we have been applying it
in the infected area and we're gonna keep an eye
on it today.
We have some special soap for her to bath in today,
and we're going to see if we can try to get these rashes
to go down and to stop spreading.
And guys, cute little Blake, has a nasty boil
just below her belly.
Do you have an owie?
Yeah, and it has been draining.
We've been putting washcloths on it and medicine
but she has not been feeling well either.
It's pretty big and gross looking, argh!
- I feel just fine.
- And all of this stuff is why I haven't been able
to do what I wanted to do today
but we're gonna be taking it easy.
Steve, how is...
How are you feeling?
Okay? - I'm good.
- [Mom] In a lot of pain? - In a little bit of pain.
- [Mom] Jordyn, how are your rashes feeling?
- Itchy?
- [Mom] Itchy?
Well, it looks like Blake is feeling better.
(upbeat music)
All right guys.
So my plan for this evening is
we're gonna go out and eat so that we don't have
to strain ourselves cooking at all.
And then maybe some popcorn and a movie.
And we'll relax today? - [Group] Yeah!
- Okay, we're gonna relax after rashes and hospital visit.
All right guys, do you know how difficult it is
to find a place to eat with this many kids--
- Not so many of us-- - In our car?
So we've narrowed it down to, what?
- Someone wants tacos, someone wants cheeseburger,
somebody wants roast beef sandwiches.
So-- - And someone wants
mozzarella sticks.
- Yeah. - [Taylor] That's me!
- So, where's the one place that has all of that?
- Come on, what's going on here people?
- All right, so where does everyone want to eat?
- [Group] Chipotle!
- [Blake] Chipotle (mumbles) cafe.
- Chip-- - Let's go to Arby's.
(Steve chuckles) (upbeat music)
- All right, deep breath,
we can do this. - We can do this guys.
We came to our first place.
We have decided on Arby's and Del Taco
and I think we can get what everybody wants,
fingers crossed that no one-- - [Steve] We're at Arby's.
- Revolts.
Mom, got this!
- [Steve Voice Over] I wanted the Chipotle.
(Parker whining)
- Oh!
Hold on one sec, Parker.
- All right, now we were at stop number two
for the rest of the family, Del Taco.
- Hopefully.
- Who's ordering a Del Taco?
Steven, Parker, Blake and-- - Dad.
- And don't forget about me!
(wrapper raffling)
- Oops, there's mine. (mom chuckles)
(paper bags raffling)
- [Group] Let's eat!
- [Mom] Did everybody get their food?
- [Group] Oh, yeah!
- [Mom] Is everybody happy?
- [Jordyn] Yes.
- And just when I thought today
couldn't get any worse with everything that's going on.
They forgot my food. - [Blake] Mummy (indistinct)
- I don't have food.
- Thanks a lot, Arby's.
- Well, that is the perfect, like,
ending to the day, guys.
Oh, just when you thought the day couldn't get any worse.
I don't have any food.
At least I have some mozzarella sticks
if Taylor decides to share.
Are you going to share Taylor? - Ah, yeah.
- She better. (children screaming)
- [Taylor] That's so stupid ogre (laughs)!
- I got you, (Taylor screams)
I'm on fire, Jordyn.
- [Mom] What is going on in here?
- [Taylor] Watching a movie.
Well, mostly, playing.
(upbeat music)
(Taylor screaming)
(door bangs)
- All right guys.
So, while the girls are being crazy downstairs--
- Mom, I (mumbles). - What!
Blake and I are hanging out relaxing and cuddling
on the bed and we are gonna watch
a little show (indistinct).
Blake, what do you wanna watch?
(indistinct)
Tell me exactly what you wanna watch.
(indistinct) Lava Monster.
Her favorite video that we have ever done
are all of the Lava Monster videos.
So if you guys haven't seen those, check them out.
They're Blake's favorites.
So, we're gonna find some Lava Monster and relax.
- The Lava Monster! - Okay, okay!
- Four, three,
two--
- [Blake] The Lava Monster is going to (mumbles),
he's here.
- It's the Lava Monster!
(upbeat music)
What's going on in here? (door opens)
- Oh, what'd you need?
- What?
- Hello?
- [Mom] What is going on in here?
- [Group] We're playing a game.
(indistinct) - And talkin' about life.
(Jordyn laughs)
(group chatting)
(door closes) - What is happening?
All right, well, it's getting late.
It's almost time for bed.
It's time for Jordyn to get her rash cream on
and then get all these kids to bed.
I bet in just a few days, all of them are gonna be gone.
And you'll look good as new.
(upbeat music)
Move your hair.
Oh, I see (mumbles).
Just like that, it's bee 24 hours since you were
in the hospital.
- Yeah. - That is insane, guys.
This video is just been kind of crazy.
- Everything that has-- - It's been a wild--
happened. - 24 hours.
- I mean, I have to say I was a little scared when I was
getting text messages from Steve saying
that he may have to go get surgery.
- I know, so was I (laughs).
- I knew I wouldn't have to go in...
And I wouldn't be able to go in and see him.
And just some of the horror stories that he was hearing
like, this was a pretty severe infection.
And I'm just glad that it wasn't as bad as we thought
and that the medication, is working?
- Let's hope so. - Let's hope so.
We'll keep you guys updated and hopefully
this thing goes away.
- Seriously, hope for that.
(Mom laughs)
- See you guys later.
Bye. - Bye.
