Dr. Updates

So I went and did my ENG test at the ENT office yesterday. It was to test my inner ear and make sure that it is working correctly. Let me tell you, that is one trippy test. Your sitting still one minute, and the next you feel like you've just spun in circles and all they've done is put water in your ear! It was not something that I would say was enjoyable. But apparently mine is working "in what appears to be normal paramaters." What ever that means. As for my allergies, I did the first part of the testing, and I am never seeing their allergy nurse again in that office. She was a rude you know what! So I am being refered out to a allergy doctor to get the rest of my testing done. So I got a copy of my records, and the allergy test I did on monday was not in there, so I called this morning, and medical records is going to flag her to find out why they're not in there. She's going to call me back and let me know. She suggested that I call her and I told her I am never speaking to that lady again. Such as life. But I have that doctors appt on Monday at 3 pm. Have my ultra sound this afternoon at 1. Hopefully that shows ok. Should know next week on it. Will keep everyone posted as I go through, have a great friday!!

It's been awhile

Hello to the world out there! Sorry it's been so long since I've updated my blog.

Skylynn has now turned 3... and is she loving it! We had a birthday party for her and Emma on the 12th when my inlaws were in town. We were even lucky enough for my brother and sister inlaw to be in town with their son Keaton. Family is a good thing!So I sent out all the invitations that I normally do with the kids parties, and this time, not only did almost everyone RSVP, but they also showed up! There was, counting kids and all, like over 50 people in my house I swear to god! It was nuts. But the girls made out like bandits and they had a blast! Here is their cake picture.
















Aren't they cute? I'm going to post their birthday party pictures up on my picasa website as soon as I get the chance.
While my inlaws were in town, we did pictures at Reid Park on Monday, and it was... interesting. But we got them done, and I think we got some cute pictures done! Here is the link to see it.

If you check it in the next hour or so, they may not all be in there, because I'm working on uploading them after I finish this posting. Then we did pictures at Penny's for the kids birthdays and such. We got some cute ones there also of the kids in groups and individually. When they come in at the end of the month, I'll scan them in for everyone to see.

Serena is now walking everywhere. She had started to walk at the very begining of July, and now she's damn near running! She's so cute about it too, she walks up to you with both hands up at smiling and then grabs your leg and gives a big old hug. It's amazing how quickly once she started, that she was walking everywhere, was like at the most, 2 weeks from start to competent. Skylynn is doing well, she seems to not be getting sick currently, she's been doing well on her medicine, not having to much stomache upset from it. She's growing again right now I'm fairly certain, or just finished growing. Sean is getting excited about school. We just got his room and teacher assignment today in the mail! He keeps asking how much longer til school starts and how long is he going to be there. We get to get his school supplies now, and I'm having him go with me. His grandmother in tx is getting his new school clothes and lunch box for him, which I deeply appreciate mind you!, and he's already got a backpack, and some of the supplies, so we only have to get a few things.

Update on my health issues... I'm still having the equilebrium issues, and the ear pain. The ENT thinks maybe escellation of allergies, so doing alergy testing in two sessions, and doing a inner ear test on Thursday. Hopefully this'll give us some answers. I have also been having some pain issues of a womanly sort only during that time of the month. The pain has been pretty diabilitating and only happens when I have to go to the bathroom at that point in time. It's been pretty strange. Only started happening after I had Serena. I thought maybe was my womanly parts having to get back in the habit of my period, but with each consequential period, the pain has been getting worse during the evacuation point in my day. I mean it's rediculous, even passing a small amount of gas was a paramount experiance. So I finally made an appt as Chris noticed as I started crying this last time and was gasping in pain while going to the bathroom. So you know when your husband has noticed this very personal experiance, that it's a lot worse than you thought it was. So I went to the OBGYN yesterday. He's fairly certain that I have endometriosis, which apparently you can get at anypoint in time as a woman. Its either that or I have scar tissue attatching my uterus to my colon which is a slim chance. So I have pretty much two choices as it seems to be getting worse. I can do shots for six months that make me basically a menopausal woman for that point in time, with no gaurantee that it'll clear it up, or I can do laproscopic surgery, where they can look around, and fix the problem in one step with a few days recovery time. I've told my Dr. that I'd rather do the surgery thank you very much! Is messing with my body for a much shorter amount of time and problems than messing with the hormones, cause we all know how well I react to medicine.... LOL. I also get to go for an ultra sound on Friday to make sure it's not Cysts, though he's fairly certain they're not, but have to double check anyway, and to make sure things are where they belong so to speak, inside of my pelvic region. As soon as I know when they surgery will be, I'll update everyone.

The very exciting thing that I have right now, is that I'm at day 3 of not smoking at all... YEAH!!! I'm glad about this, but do occasionally miss the moments of just getting away for five minutes, but I'm doing that in my room now with a book instead. I've begun getting a routine down here in the house, get up, shower, dress, get kids dressed, collect clothes, strip sean's bed if necessary, start laundry, vacume, empty dishwasher, load with breakfast dishes, run errands if need be, get baby down for nap 10:30, then sky down at about 11, move the laundry to the dryer, then they sleep til like 1 or later. Right now I have Sean for that time, but in a few weeks he'll be in school. I'm able to do my sewing projects or my scrap booking at this point in time. It's been nice, I've been able to keep the house clean, do some projects that have needed doing like cleaning my room, and had time with the kids. But other than that been staying at home it's been nice.

With this,I've been at it long enough, i'm going to head off now! Have a good one!

Middle of the night….

It's now midnight, well a bit after but that's ok

Sean is miserable. He doesn't want me to hold him anymore, he's running a fever, he won't drink anything, he won't take a popsicle, won't take jello, won't take ice cream, won't take anything. I've been up with him all night, he doses off for a little while, wakes up crying/choking. This totally sucks. I feel helpless, and I can't make my little boy feel better. I'm glad I got a good nights sleep last night or I'd be pretty bad off right now. He doesn't even wanting me touching him right now, hence the typing of a blog while sitting next to him while he watches Dora Saves the Day! I just don't know what else to do. I've been making him take small sips, and small bites of jello when he won't take a sip of anything. I know he has to keep hydrated, along with keeping his throat and mouth moist. I've had to basically force him to do the liquids and the jello for the last 2 ½ hours as he's been awake. He went to sleep so nicely and woke up chocking and gasping for air which is scary for everyone involved! So now we've been up for awhile, through the buzz of the codine, and now got another dose, and I'm hoping this one helps! I just feel useless right now. I can just imagine what it would be like without the codine in him. I think this is miserable, that would be even worse!

Well I'm going to go see if I can get him to drink something now. Wish me luck! My love to all.

Here are some pics to brighten the day

Sean is doing alright tonight. Poor thing, after Emma got here, he was so excited and started playing around with her, growling and hissing playing tigers, I tried to get him to stop but they were just so excited to see eachother. Well needless to say, after we got them calmed down his throat started hurting again, so I gave him his antibiotics and then his pain meds. The pain meds I think burned his poor throat after he did that, so about 5 minutes after I gave it to him he started crying so bad that his throat hurt and he wanted me to make it better! I don't think I've ever felt more useless! Chris took him on his lap while I got him some ice for the bag that ties around his throat, and some ice cream. "just plain vanilla" he says :( God it was horrible, I started crying myself! Got him calmed down, and the ice cream and ice seems to have helped, and the drugs have kicked in so he's kinda out there now, but feeling better at least! Thank goodness for that! Hopefully the night goes smoother now that all the girls are in bed. We were snuggling on the matress on the floor in the living room watching the first Narnia movie, and he relaxed enough for me to get this out really quickly! Hope you guys enjoy the pictures as much as I do.

Skylynn was being a little diva, she picked out the hat, necklace, bag,and sandals to go with her dress that morning. She was so cute! Sean was outside drawing shapes and such with his chalk, and Serena was just into as much as she could be, including riding the teeter totter with Sean and Sky! Hope you enjoy them. If you want any of them to print out, just let me know and I'll email you the .jpeg so you can get a good picture!

Our love to all, and thanks, Tiffany and Family

Sean’s Surgery

So Sean had his surgery this morning, and all went well. He impressed everyone with how well he did! He only got nervous when the doctor showed up to take him back. The anesthesiologist told him what was going to happen, rather than me, which scored big points with me, cause I know Sean wanted to know. So he went through it fine, didn't even cry when he woke up! I was so proud of him, he did so well. We went to Walgreens afterwards, so aunt Jen could pick out a toy with him because he was so brave and did so well. He got a play-doh fun factory thing. Nice quite toy. He got a few fish too since his frog died, and I figured that he could have a new pet and would make a nice thing for after he got home. Audrey was kind enough to get the fish and stuff while we were out. She also got him a Star Wars and Star Trek toys. The star wars is a R-4 unit that has a remote, and the Star Trek one is the transporter with Mr. Scott. And he got the Beethoven movie. She spoiled him J. But it's been a pretty good day so far. He's been bouncing off the walls since we got home. He's so hyper, just wants to play. I gave him some of his Tylenol with codine in it to start keeping ahead of the pain. But you can't even tell I gave it to him almost half an hour ago. I'm waiting for it to kick in! He's even more hyper than he normally is today too! He was all excited because he got to have yogurt and ice cream for lunch. It'll be an interesting day, and it looks like it'll be even more interesting day as it goes on but I'm just glad that he's doing as well as he has. Every time he starts to relax, he pops himself up and starts moving again, I think he's trying to keep himself awake, it's cute, but it is tiring to keep telling him to laydown and relax every few minutes. Ah well such as life huh? Well I'm going to go get him something to drink now. Have a wonderful day!

 

Love everyone, Tiff

Did my CT scan today

So I went and did my CT (CAT) Scan of my sinus cavities today. They did it with no contrast at least so my mouth didn't taste funky for hours afterwards so that's good news! They said my Dr. should have the results end of this week, beginning of next. I'm praying for the end of this week as I want to know what's going on. I got to look at the pictures after they took them it was pretty cool. Now I couldn't see anything on them of course, but hopefully the doctors see something on them! I'm tired of the ear pain, the dizzy spells, the nausea, the headaches, and now I'm getting the pain my face again. I just want to know what's going on, and then have a course of action to follow to get it taken care of! It's making it difficult for me to take care of the kids, which kills me. Chris finally convinced me to let the kids go to Debi's house yesterday so I could get some rest. Have to admit it did help me some. I've been taking my vicodine, and it's gotten to the point now that I can take one of them, it takes the edge off of the pain, and I'm not completely tipsy. Which is not good, means I'm either getting a tolerance for the medicine, or the pain is that intense… Not sure which, or little of both. So Sky's wart on her foot is doing better, seems to be almost completely gone, Serena now has a diaper rash that seems to be getting worse with the Nystatin on it. Hopefully it gets it under control tonight or I have to call and make her an appt tomorrow. Sean's surgery is Friday. I'm nervous about it. I know that it's no big deal, getting tonsils and adenoids out in this day and age is a normal and quick procedure, but those of you who know me, know I play the what if game in my head. I have to be there at 7:15 in the morning, which means that I have to be out of the house by 6:45 without taking the kids to Debi's house. Not sure if I'm going to take them or Chris. I don't want him to be stressed trying to take them to Debi's house and back home again make it to work on time. I'm going to put him in his pj's and going to take his cupcake doggie, and his star wars blanket. I'm just worried that he'll be in so much pain I guess, and that I won't be able to help him through it. Jennifer is going to be there with me, lending me a little anti-freak out support J. Chris wasn't able to get the morning off from work, so he gets to sit here at home worrying while he's working. But all will turn out ok. I have faith in that. Well gotta go run to the store to get milk and such. I love you all and ttys.

I actually made two dresses successfully!!

So I actually was able to make two dresses from scratch successfully in the last day and a half!! Mom came over yesterday, showed me how the patterns work, and got me started. Finished Emma's dress this afternoon about 2, and then made Sky's this evening! They are to cute. They're coordinating dresses hehehhee

Here's the pictures! All I have left on Emma's is the shoulder straps and the bottom hem, and I need her to be able to do that, and for Sky's I need to put the zipper on, and do the same as Emma's. But I think that they're just darling!
