We get to move forward with adopting Baby K!!!!
We finally got word this morning that Baby K’s permanent home is with us. This means we will be moving forward with the adoption process. Her brother will be staying with his Foster Family and we will continue to do sibling visits.
This has been a very long process and is still a bit surreal to me but is starting to sink in.
So Baby K’s X-rays and blood work came back clear and good. We caught it early enough that it didn’t even show up on the X-ray. For now she is on antibiotics and is doing great!!! She’s back to her silly goofy self today ;0).
Preston’s hockey team had the first rounds of their final tournament this morning. He started out in goal for the first game. They lost the game, it takes their team a little while to get going. But they won the second game. Preston played left defense and did great. They will continue the tournament next Sat. If they win their next game then they will play for the trophy!
Now on to cleaning, the poor house has been ignored.
So Baby K has been off all week, not sleeping right and came down with a cold on Tuesday. By Thursday she had that yucky green snot and was quite congested, which does not help with her hearing! We made a trip to the Dr but with the build up of wax that is in her ears they can’t see anything, therefore they don’t do anything. Sent us home and said to watch her.
So this morning we get up and she’s got a fever and is pretty out of it. I call to see how high a temp they want before we make come in and they want to see her. So off we go. After a little bit of listening to her lungs the Dr says she’s got Right Lower lobe pneumonia….. really?! So fast this stuff comes on. She was fine yesterday, besides the snotty congestion. Anyways, across the hall we go and she gets a couple chest x-rays and some blood drawn. And now what have we been doing for the last 3 hours, waiting, waiting for a phone call with the results. Once we get the phone call we will know what to do for her, until then she’s napping.
Luckily she did finally eat some food for lunch and drank some milk.
Poor girl never gets a break!!
…. and to satisfy my Mom ;0)
So it’s been a while, sorry. For some reason my computer decided that it didn’t want me to blog but luckily I have a handy husband who fixed it so now if I don’t post it’ll just be me slackin’ ;0).
Anyways, I don’t even know where I left off so I’ll start with hockey. Preston’s season is coming to an end. They played their last regular season game today and won…. they were undefeated this year!!!! OH and the best part, Preston scored 2 goals…. that gives him a whoppin’ 4 for the season ;0). Next weekend is the tournament, then they have one more weekend of tournament play to see who wins the trophy. Preston’s pretty excited as he gets to be goalie one more time this season. Which kinda brings us on to next season. Last week was the start of try-outs, yes try-outs. Poor 6,7,8 year olds have to try-out to get on the team of their choice….. so strange this hockey stuff. Preston did make the team he tried out for and even tried out for goalie. Hopefully he gets some good time in the net! Next season is a big jump, we’ll go from 1 practice and 1 game a week to 2 practices, a skills night, goalie clinic and 1-2 games a week. WOW!! For now he’s already signed up for a Goalie Camp this summer and most likely we’ll get him signed up for a skills class too. So important to get that ice time!! The good thing, he loves it and wants to do it! :0)
Kyla is back in school. She’s going 2 full days and loves it. She’s also started a new multi-sports class at the sports center. She just started on Friday and learned Football. While she was doing this I was working out. There’s a great Mommy Rocks class at the sports center that allows you to work out while your kids play…. all on the same field. It’s a great workout and the kids get to play and “help” you work out all at the same time.
Baby K, oh Baby K, where do we start! We had her 3rd six month review at DCF. Nothing really just touching base and seeing how the kids are doing. Then on to more waiting as a meeting was scheduled for the 19th…. did you catch that, “was”. I talked to the case worker the day before and the meeting was canceled. No real clue to why but do know that there is another one scheduled the 29th. So, more waiting, as usual. She’s doing good with Early Intervention and starting to “talk” more. Her sounds are so off though, it’s cute but she really does sound like she’s deaf. I wish everyone could here her sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!
Me, I made a trip to the Dr. because I’ve been overly tired and wanted to get my iron levels checked as I have been anemic a couple times before and yep, my iron and blood count levels were low. Not too low but low enough to start a supplement at night and iron fortified cereal in the morning. I go back in a month and see how I’m doing. If no change then they will try adjusting my Prozac. Don’t know if I’ve mentioned my Prozac before…. I have PMDD, which is the PMS disorder. I basically had PMS for like 3 weeks out of the month, including while I was on my period. I tried herbs/vitamins for a couple years but it never seemed be consistent so finally gave up and went to the Dr. Let me tell ya, Prozac has been the best thing, I’m now down to 1, maybe 2 days a month of PMS. HUGE difference!!!
Jarod, he’s been working hard and playing hard. Got a new tv…. finally. He’s been bugging me for one for a looonggg time now. Got a good deal on a floor model, so yay, for him. He’s still playing Soccer. I think the season starts here in the next week or so. Not sure about Baseball though… do I dare write that, I might jinx myself ;0).
All-in-all we’ve been doing good. Getting routines down and under control. Glad tryouts are over, will be glad when the Baby K situation is finally decided but for now we’re finally enjoying the warm sunny weather outside!!
No bones, don’t worry! ;0)
For some reason the blog went down. Jarod just got to fixing it tonight. So yay, we’re back up and running.
