OKAY FINE... We will go back public because I know yall love it :) Cross your fingers that all the bad people are staying off our site now. I didn't realize how many people were actually visiting our blog to check in on us ;)
So what the heck has been going on with us??? A LOT!!!
The kids started school on June 12th and did AMAZING! They still are doing great at school and love it. Gracie Ann WALKED into school for the first time her second week using her walker. We were amazed at her.
Brody landed in the ER with a nasty stomach virus on June 24th. He had been so sick starting Friday evening and by Sunday evening we had enough. He couldn't hold down food, water, or medications. Ricky and I loaded him up per the Pediatricians recommendation and headed to St. Luke's in The Woodlands. It was the absolute best hospital experience we'd ever had. They were so sweet and took such wonderful care of him. Luckily after IV fluids, IV medication, and an X Ray to make sure his gut was okay, we were able to go home about 11pm that night.
I finished and PASSED my Speech glass taught by satan.
My doctor tested me for tumors/cancer and we waited.... and waited for the results and thank Heavens I'm tumor and cancer free!! We are still running some other test trying to figure out whats going on. I don't know what is going on to even tell you anything.
Madi got the stomach virus this past week.
All three kiddos are now on breathing treatments every 4 hours because of allergies! ALLERGIES for crying out loud!!
Friday I pretty much lost my mind. Yep, it decided along with my patience to take a hike. Why? Oh, because after an hour and a half at the picture place, we walked out of there without a single picture. You know the ones I do every birthday because it's their birthday??? Those!! Why? Well Gracie would't smile for a single one of them and pretty much looked like she hated being in our family in every shot. By the time we actually got her to love her family again Madi was OVER IT!! I mean throw her hair bow on the ground then bang her head on the ground. Yep! And that was our sign it was time to go.
Saturday was their BIRTHDAY!!!!! It turned out AMAZING!!!! We had it at The Little Gym and I can't say enough how amazing the facility and staff was. I didn't have to worry about a single thing and was able to enjoy every second of their party. We had a wonderful turn out of around 30 people. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as well. Two of our old NICU nurses were there and both took my camera and snapped over 400 pictures. I told you I didn't have to worry about anything :)
They got way too many gifts... way too many and Uncle John is now building them a big ol' toy box. They also got about $400 that will go into their growing savings accounts! As well as gift cards. They are so lucky to have so many people that love and care about them. Thank you all so much. I hope you each truly know how much we appreciate everything.
Gracie had an ENT appointment today. It was just a check up now she is a big girl and TWO! We found out she has an ear infection and that her lungs sound "really bad". The ENT won't need to see her again until she is three unless we aren't getting anywhere with speech.
Speech you ask? Yes, we are starting speech back as soon as the insurance approvals are in.
I promise to post pictures soon but in the meantime, if you are on Facebook, find me!! I post pictures there and updates all the time. Usually daily!
It's nice to be back... I think! I really hope all those people are gone and we won't have to worry about the negative out there.
I'll update again soon!
