i'm one week post-op today. today has been my most active day, and by far my most productive as far as blood flow. my drain tubes are working overtime today. all of my pain is associated w/ my tubes now. these suckers are no joke. my appt to get them out isn't until the 11th and there is just no way. giving them another week and then i'm yanking 'em myself!!
the kids are doing well.
we're all adjusting better to josh's milk allergy.
the kids are excited for halloween. not gonna even tell ya how much we spent on costumes, and they were on sale! and the babies are dressing up!
the babies are w/ kalen's mom thru saturday and for that i am so thankful. keeker just doesn't get it and likes to climb and crawl all over me like always.
my mom is sick, going on three weeks now and it's really starting to concern me.
my great grandma is still in cardiac icu. she's not any better, not any worse.
i've managed to update myspace and facebook.
laughing, coughing, sneezing, blowing my nose, crying, deeply breathing, yelling...all hurt like h-e-double hockey sticks!!!
i somehow double posted the video of kamy getting her shot. oops.

it's sugery day!!!
ok, life took over and i haven't had time to update, and even now, i'm rushing to get last minute things accomplished before heading to the hospital.
so here's the quick version:
andre'a.....is having issues w/ her tummy, still. she's had two within a month. her labwork keeps showing her pancreatic amylase is elevated....what that means, i'm not sure....i googled it, but it was so varied....the drs were trying to call it a "high normal"....but i'm sorry, having my gma pass from pancreatic cancer, that doesn't cut it for me! so she had a ct of her pancreas yesterday...and we're waiting for results. other than that, she's doing well in school. she's really maturing. she's a big help. she's freaking out about today. i'll have to upload videos of a dance performance she was in recently.
alexa......is doing well. she was so excited to get her flu shot. weird. only a child of mine! she's barreling her way thru learning her division facts.
joshua....my joshua....last week he finally had an appt w/ the allergist. wow! long story short, he's allergic to bermuda grass, dust mites, cats, mice, milk and shrimp, which they expanded to include all shellfish. and let me tell you, trying to keep a child on a completely milk-free diet is H-A-R-D!!! i had him eating chicken nuggets all weekend, because he loves them, and will eat 'em all day if i let them...yeh, the rest of the bag is hiding in the deep freezer because i didn't read the label until monday, heck, it's CHICKEN!...but yep, milk! guess it's in the batter. ugh. i've seen great improvement in his daily allergy symptoms since they started him on a new regime of meds.....he's on pulmicort, allegra and flonase by day and allegra, singulair, and pulmicort by nite.
kyndal......what can i say about that one! she's a handful...so hilarious. thinks she's as old as the older girls. and we sometimes forget that she's not because she's so grown up. i have to keep reminding myself and kalen she's only 21mos now.
kamdyn....is 9 weeks today. she had her 2mo well check yesterday. she's up to 11lbs 2.6oz. she's starting to smile and it just melts my heart!!
and then there's me......my surgery is at 10a today....i'm having a full abdominal hsyterectomy w/ the other long medical term they use to say also remove ovaries and tubes..and my mesh is being replaced. we're all nervous wrecks. and of course, i wake up w/ a scratchy throat and stuffy/runny nose. and i'm officially hypertensive and on bp meds and have vertigo...it is awesome to be me!!
kalen is just dealing w/ it all...and i think he's ready to faint.
so that's the quick update. i'll update to say i'm alive when i get home and will eventually get some new pics up!!
o hey...yyyyyaaaaayyy for me......last week was 6yrs kicking cancer butt for me!!
love to all!
