Jacob's follow-up to surgery

Jacob had his follow-up today to his surgery. Everything looks great. The pathology report showed some infection in his tonsils. :-/ So glad those things are out. Dr. Shah was so pleased with everything, as we are. Before surgery, Jacob had a constant runny nose. It was just apart of Jacob. Not one runny nose since. :)

Now we can move onto stress tests with the cardiologist. That will be May 7th.

And the pin and cast is gone!

Finally! The pin and cast are goners! The pin coming out wasn't as bad as she thought. Jenna said it felt weird but didn't hurt. She was crying though just thinking about it. She's in a splint for the next two weeks when needed (playing outside, at school, etc). Finally!! All that milk she had this week really paid off. :)

Yes :)

Jaylynn: Is this my bag? (baggie full of candy from Easter)
Me: I don't know Monkey.
Jaylynn: Say yes Mommy.

MS Walk 2012

The kids and I, along with Oma, Becky and fam and Tessa, we walked in the MS Walk 2012. Our team raised over $1,000!!! I'm so proud of everyone's efforts in fighting against MS and it's horrible effects. 

Sandy ~ every step we took was in your memory so that other families don't miss out on their wife, mom, sister, friend and most important, grandmother. We miss you every single day.

The National Anthem

Jasmine's 5th grade chorus class sang the National Anthem at the Wizards Game at the Verizon Center!!! How cool is that? They did amazing. How many people can say they sang in front of a crowd at the Verizon Center?!

Candy pains

Jay: Mommy, my leg hurts.


Me: Why? What happened?



Jay: I ate too much candy.

The purple cast

We went in on March 30th to get her arm checked, hoping the pin would be pulled and back to a short arm cast. A quick x-ray showed that it wasn't ready yet. Darn.

We went back today and Dr. Raffo cut the cast off and x-ray'd it. He said even if the pin wasn't ready to come out, she could at least go to a short arm cast. Unfortunately, her arm just hasn't healed enough and the pin is still in there. She got a purple cast this time and has been downing milk ever since. She's never been a big milk drinker but Dr. Raffo she needed it and she listened. Hopefully when we go back on the 16th, the pin can come out and maybe, just maybe, a soft splint type thing.



Just a funny pic of her cast collection (and Jay's arm) thus far.


Oh and if your child has a pin sticking out of their arm, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, let them see it. Jenna almost passed out when she saw it. I almost did too but didn't let her see me squirm.
