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.

Home Inprovments

Here are the photos of our house that people have been asking me to take I am sorry, but they are blurry and I do not know why. I came home from work to find out that Issac had torn down the wall that led to the downstairs. We had talked about doing it for a year, but we had not done it. We knew that it would help us when we had the fire going to heat the upstairs and it seems to have helped. I deiced that I would paint the kitchen. We had been talking about painting the kitchen I told Issac that I thought that Blue would look good and he said as long as you were to do a baby blue. He also told me that he didn't want to paint the kitchen for a year. Little did he know that I had paint sample and was deciding on what color that I wanted. Needless to say Issac came home from work to see the kitchen a mess and the walls painted blue. We wanted to get the house done before Mom, Dad, and Barry came to our house before Barry got married. We had 2 weeks to do the wall and 3 days to do the kitchen. Needless to say I stressed out Issac very much. He was worried that he would have to paint the kitchen I told him that this was my project and he didn't have to do anything. I think that the blue makes the walls POP and I think that it looks really good with the brown. I also think that it brightens up the kitchen because the walls were a dingy white.

A Week Of Sickness

It all started on Friday when I took Lizzy to the Dr. with a fever, a cold, and a sore throat. They thought that she was going to have strepp, but she didn't. Becca was sick on Monday with a fever and then she started getting a cold. Then the next day the fever went away. Then she jsut kept getting worse. On Thursday night she kept getting a fever and I would give her medine and she would keep getting in back after only a few hours. I was finaly able to get her into the dr the next day and found out that she had an eye infection in each eye. Also she has an ear infection. She is feeling much better now. I am so glad that there are dr.'s out there to help you when you or your kids are sick. Alex has also been having a cold too. He didn't get to go to school this week becuase of his cold. We took him to see the genetic dr. a few weeks ago and we didn't find anything new out other than they want us to go and see more and more Dr.'s. We are going to wait until we know if he has Cornella de Lang Syndrom. The pedatrician seems to think that he has the Syndrom and he would like to have us take Beeca to see a develoment pedatrician with Alex because he thinks that Becca is following in the footsteps like Alex, but I think that she is ok. We took her in for her 6 month check up this month and he told me that. We are still going to wait and see if Alex has the syndrom first before we do anything. The dr. was worried because Becca with not play on her belly so she is not rolling over like a 6 month should be.

No Answers For Me

Well there has been a lot going on lately. The kids are groing like weeds. The other night I was up feeding Becca and Alex got up and was crying that he had a hurt legg. I finished feeding the baby and tried to give him some medicne, but he would not take anything so I made him go back to sleep. I had been a sleep for one hour when Lizzy fell out of bed so I got up and put her back into bed. An hour later Becca was up feeding and Alex came out and was crying again. I finished feeding the baby and then I forced Alex to take some medicne and he want back to sleep. I was then woken up two hours later and feeding Becca. You could say that I was tired the next day. I then called the dr to have them see Alex. I told them that I thought that he had strep again because he had, had a runny nose for over a week. He ended up having strep again for the third time since November. Then I ended up talking to the dr about the test that he was having to see if he has Cornella-de Lange Syndrome. The dr asked me if I had heard anything yet I told him that I had not. He then told me that the older that he gets the more he looks like he could have it. We ended up talking about it for a little while about it. I ended up e-mailing his other dr and he ended up e-mailing the dr who was doing the study and he asked me to take some photos of Alex and he also told me that he didn't have any answers so we have to wait longer to see if he has the syndrome. I wish that I knew if he had it or not it had been over a year since they took his blood to be tested. I guess that I can wait longer if I have allready waited this long.
