Sooo Excited....

Well we just finished at the cardiologist with Emma and I could not be more relieved and excited. Dr. Kim said that she looked good and nothing has changed since February. Her heart function and size has stayed the same, which means that her heart failure has not progressed any further so far. She has also gained 2 pounds, (whooo hooo), I was ecstatic when I saw 26lbs on the scale. I am so relieved and thank God for all the thoughts and prayers for her. She is such a fighter and just keeps on fighting. She is just so amazing to me....

Busy, Busy, Busy...































The kids Had a blast in their new pool, hopefully this one won't bust...
Well it has been a very busy few weeks and I still have more to go. Katelyn turned 7 on Saturday so we had a nice family party for her at Chucky e. cheese. She got lots of fun stuff, Hanna Montanna and the Jonas Brothers where the biggest ticket items this time. I would share some pictures but my camera decided to poop out that morning.

Nickolas had his first basketball game on Saturday morning as well and if you have never seen three year olds play, it is hilarious... We put him in it for the interaction with other kids but, also to learn more listening skills, I think he just likes the running part... I will post some pics soon if I can figure out what happened to my camera...

This week Emma has her cardiology appointment so that is always stressful for me, the whole never knowing what they are going to say, (Pray for good news). After Emma's appt. on Thursday, I get to go spend all day at the dr's office and hospital for all my wonderful pre op stuff.

Saturday is Emma's big 2nd birthday, so back to Chuck E. Cheese we go...

Next Wednesday is my surgery, so I am on top of everything in the house to try and get things ready for anyone and everyone that will be here. God bless the kids Non, she said that the kiddos could go stay with her for a couple days and then their Daddy will be off work so then he can take over, (God help us all when the men take over)...

Please pray that I make it through all this craziness... I am looking forward to everything, I am just not wanting to hand the reins over for a few days...

Back to the DR...

Tomorrow I will be heading back to the doctors office. I have been in alot of pain lately and nothing seems to work and there is only so much you can take with kids. It is still 4 weeks or so till my surgery and I was told that the pain won't get any better, only worse. Well, I can't go through this for another 4 weeks, I can handle alot of pain, but I can't handle this getting any worse... I know, I sound like I am complaining, but I really am tired of hurting (I guess I am complaining). The nurse I talked to today said that it is a possibility that he can do surgery earlier and on a different day other than on his surgical day (Wednesday). I told her that I am not doing this to move up my date, I just want to do something that is going to help in the next 4 weeks. Hopefully he will have more answers for me tomorrow, I even told Josh that if this gets to much worse we will just go to the ER and they will definitely do something there... I will keep you up dated. Thanks for listening to me ramble and complain, my kids have no idea what I am talking about when I tell them, "Mommy doesn't feel good"...
