I'm BACK!!

I never really left, but have either been too sick, or too busy to post anything!!!
Wow, May already? Where has the time gone? Some days it seems to DRAAAG but others it goes by so fast!
Gavin got Fifths Disease a while ago, then when we were past the whole being contagious part, Skylar and I both got it! Oh my, I got ALLL the symptoms! It was bad! One whole day I was on the couch, ALLLL day!!!! Thankfully Curt wasn't out of town that day! I had the fever and chills, head-ache, and MAJOR backache! It was bad! I broke out in a small rash then too, not as bad as Gavin, as you can see! Skylar got a slight rash as well! But it didn't slow her down ANY!



These pictures don't really do it any justice! I called my doc to see how long the rash could or would last, and the nurse told me it could last any where from 6 to 14 days!!!! AHHH!!!!!! I seriously started crying on the phone! Then she tried to reassure me that it could only last 6 days, but I told her, you don't understand, he has it EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!! After about 10 days it was almost all gone! But we managed and we are all still alive!

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
