The Surgery Went Well YA! :)

This is Alex before his surgery. He was loving to play with that toy. I was trying to ask him if he know what the #"s were. There was a 2-4, but he didn't really get them right, but that is OK. So here is the storie about what happened. We took him to the room to be checked in and when we were getting him dressed in his surgery clothes I found out that he had wet his pants. I had only changed his pull up 2 hours before and I had taken him to the potty so I was wondering how this could have happened. I had only brought 1 pull up and no other changed of clothes so they told us that they would take care of us. He went such a brave little trooper and didn't cry at all when he had to leave to have the surgery. He just rode away in his wagon kissing his "YELLOW". When I went to see him he was crying, but was happy to see me. When he would stop crying it would cause his oxygen level go down so I would have to put oxygen by his mouth. We came to find out that Alex and I would be spending the night. Boy was I glad about that. I was worried that he would have some problems in the night and I would not really know what to do. The hospital was so nice they went and found me some scrubs and socks to ware to bed because they thought that I would not want to ware my jeans to bed and I was waring flip flops. They also gave me so pull ups that Alex could ware. I would have to say if any one has a child that needs to have a surgery then I would have it done there. Everyone was so nice to me and Alex. I guess I should go back to the day before. I was waiting for the phone call to come and at 4:32 when it didn't come I called and they told me that he was not on the list I wanted to cry. They ended up going down and talking to the dr. and he said that he would do it at 6:00 P.M. OH! happy was I. I could not thank Dr. Albert Park enough. He is recovering great. He loves the Ice Cream and he still is eating other foods too. I feel bad when he cries because he wants to go outside, but he can't. Thanks for all of your prayers I know they were a BIG BIG help. I felt calm when I was waiting to see him. I only hope that there will not be any more surgeries in the future for him.

New Surgery Date! YEA!! ;)

Alex is going to be having surgery on Thursday. They were going to do it on the 18th of next month, but I called them today and asked them if there was any way that they could move it up. I was afraid that he might get sick again and then he would not be able to have the surgery then. They have told us before that if he has a clod then they can't do the surgery so I wanted to do it when he was feeling better. Please keep him in your prayers that the surgery will go well and that he will get better and not be sick all of the time.

Surgery # 5! :(

Well we took Alex to see his ENT and he told us that he would have to have surgery again. The last time that they put the tubes in his ear it left a hole so they are going to go in and repair it. They will be taking some of the skin on the back of his ear to do the repair. He also keeps getting strepp so they are going to take out his toncles. Plus they are really, really BIG. They are also going to remove his adnoids. It may help so his nose does not run all of the time. They will only be able to remove 90% of the adnoids because the dr said that he would be getting to much air and that he would not be use to getting that much air in so he would have a hard time speaking and everyone would have a hard time understanding him. We were going to have the surgery on the 18th of May, but I called the surgery scheduler back to see if they could get him in sooner. I hope that they can because I do not want to have him get sick again and then have them tell me that he can't have the surgery because he is sick.

Kids OR Purse What Goes In The Car First?!

Tuesday morning around 10:00 A.M. I deiced that I would go to Albertsons to get some milk because I had a coupon to get free milk. While I was there I went to the Wells Fargo Bank to cash a small check. Alex was at school so I only had the girls with me. I went to the van to load the girls and the milk and left and drove a little ways and then I realized that I didn't have my purse. When I went back I found that it was gone. I went into the store to see if someone had turned it in of course I know that it was not going to be turned in, but I thought that I would ask anyway. I ran to the bank to cancel my debit card. I know this may be hard to believe when I could not find my purse I cursed. Lucky I forgot to bring my phone with me so that was not taken. I ran home to started calling all my credit card companies to tell them that my purse had be stolen and to call the police. Unfortunately the store camera's are broken so they were not able to look and see who took the purse. The police think that the person that took the purse was watching me and when I was putting the girls and milk in the van they came and took the purse. They tried to go to the Lowes and spend 234.00 on one of my cards, but I was too fast for them they we unable to use the card. I had reported stolen when they tried to use it. The police tried to talk to Lowes to see if they would let them view a camera and see if they would be able to reconize the face on the camera., but they were not being very nice they got mad at the police and ended up hanging up on the officer while he was triying to talk to them. The police said that they are going to try one more time to see if the Lowes will let them view the tapes.
Can I just say what a pain it is when you do not have a birth certificate or a social secerty card you will have a hard time getting a new licence. You can take in a old tax form and your baptism record in and they will issue you another one. Yes I had my SS Card and all of my kids in my wallet so I had to call my OB and ask them to write a letter saying that I was a patient, my birthday, and have the dr. sign it. I had to do the same for the kids. I just thought that I would put all of this on my blog so you will know what to do if the same thing happens to you. On a positive note Issac is sick again with Bronchitis so I had to go to Maceys and get his medications and they asked me for my preferred card I told them what happned and they asked me how many times I had filled the card so they gave me a gift card to Maceys. If you fill your perscription at Maceys ten times then they will give you a gift card for 10.00 so I thought that it was nice of them to do that for me.( It is not good that Issac is sick, but that they gave me the gift card) So do you worry about getting you kids in the car OR putting you wallet in the car first!

Is this an aprils fools joke?!

Who said that it could snow. Last time I checked it was supposed to be getting warmer didn't the ground hog see his shadow? I guess that we could use the snow, but do we need it to be so cold. I guess that my family will never get better. For those of you who do not know we have all been sick. Issac went to the dr to find out that he had bronkidus, strep, and an ear infection. How Lucky for him! In the process of him getting sick I Lizzy was running a fever and didn't want to eat so I took her to the dr. and he told me that all that she had was a cold. That was 2 weeks ago I took her in Yesterday to find out that she now has an ear infection. I ended up having to take Becca to the dr 10 days ago because she had a bad fever. I would give her some medicine and then 2 hours later she would end up being right back ware so started. She ended up having a ear infection and 2 eye infections. The next week I ended up taking Alex to the dr to find out that he had ruptured his ear drum because of a bad ear infection. The dr told me that he had a lot of puss in his ear and in the other on he ended up having some puss in it too, but it was not as bad. He also told me that he has a hole in his ear and if that does not close up by next Wednesdays then we will have to take him to his ENT. He may have to have surgery #5 to close the ear up. How fun for him! I have been lucky I have been the only one in the family not to get an ear infection, but I have had a stuffy nose for 2 weeks now. I guess this is the year to be sick in our family. Becca is now 7 months and she feel asleep in her saucer yesterday so I had to put it on the blog because it was just too cute.
