Something New

What a crazy busy day!

Feels like I've been going all day!  Which I guess I have!  Trying to get Thad to poop on the toilet, I know, maybe TMI, but that basically means just make sure he isn't hiding a corner somewhere.  ;)

Um, yeah, about that...  Have you EVER FOLLOWED, I mean REALLY followed, ALL THE TIME followed, a almost 2 1/2 year old???  Wowza! Talk about little bundle of energy!!! :)

Also, trying to work on a cake!  Needed and wanted to get the camera part of the cake done last nite, but I was way to tired!  It was a bad day yesterday.  Today already started out better, the kids were kissing up by making pb bread with banana slices on top for breakfast.  It was good!  ;) 

So between running around with Thad, trying to get some more done on the cake, making sure the older 3 were behaving...  It was a crazy day!  ;)

On top of that I made Thad an eye doc appointment.  I've noticed over the last 2 months that his eyes were crossing more and more and not focusing back very quickly.  It seemed to be getting worse and not better.  I also thought it was both of his eyes, but couldn't tell.  Didn't know if that was possible, so thought maybe it was in my head.  I knew the appointment wasn't anymore than 10 bucks, and I really wanted to know what was going on.  So today was the day.

I went in thinking, ok, he's gonna need glasses.  But eye patch and surgery was way back in my head, but was trying to keep all my options open!  I was also going in thinking, I am not going to make any decisions, gonna come home and do some research.  But if he needed glasses, I knew I couldn't hold off.  I also knew I was NOT going to get them at Lenscrafters after everything we've gone through with them!  (let's just say after having Curt's glasses for 3 months, they sent us a letter saying that Curt's lens were still not right!  :\ so they are on order... long story on that one if you don't already know...)  BUT they have for 30 bucks a 15 month guarantee that if something happens to the lens or the frames, they replace them for FREE!  ALSO, if his prescript changes for some reason in 90 days, they change them for FREE as well.  So, we decided to do that, we didn't want to, but we did.  He has to go back in 6-8 weeks to make sure it hasn't changed and see how he is doing.  She did say that a lot of kids with what he has usually has to get bifocals, but she did it without first to try.

He has weak and bad depth perception, so that's part of the of the prob, plus he is far sighted.

Poor kid, has his momma's and Granpa's eyes!  I feel bad that at the age of 2 he needs to wear them, but glad I took him in when I did.  Let's just say if I didn't, his depth perception could've gotten much worse and not repairable!  The doc said that you need depth perception for most jobs, so the glasses will help repair and strengthen it!

Will see how it goes the next 6-8 weeks!  I'm praying that he will adjust and wear them!  He kinda fought a bit with them tonite...  I think partly he was tired, and his eyes were still dilated.  She put 2 different drops in his eyes, so it was the STRONG dose of that!  She said he did GREAT, he didn't even cry like most kids do who need that done! 

Such a big boy, so proud of him today!  Between the peeing on the potty, now the glasses, he's done well!  He was very tired today, but so was/am I!!!  ;)

 Here's our lil man with his new specs!!!  Such a sweet lil guy!!!  :)

Ok, we have this HUGE window in our living room, and we've had a LOT more traffic since one of the roads is still closed due to the flooding we had, it totally washed the road away, so the detour is down out street...  All those people got a new view of our house today, Mr Thad mooning everyone front side and back side!  It's a great day!!!  ;)

My breakfast that the kids made us!  :)  Those were some HUGE banana slices on top, but it was good!  Not gonna lie!  :)

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.
