It felt like we waited forever to hear there was a nurse interested in taking care of Anna, but in reality it was only about a week and a half. We set up a meeting so that we could interview th...
The nursing agency came out yesterday and assessed our current situation. They asked a million and one questions. The RN that came out was, I swear, hand picked from above for us. She is a ...

*disclaimer- I did not spellcheck or proofread this, read at your own risk* My heart is heavy tonight. I will preface this by saying that I know we are blessed to have things as good as we do ...

Y'all, really, 6 months since I posted? That should be a punishable offense. What can I say? Life with 3 kids, a full time job, and homeschooling is busy. Homeschooling? Yes, we are the...

In case Anna didn't have enough to deal with she now has a few more things to add to her list of problems. She has Selective IgA Deficiency (SIGAD ) and Specific Antibody Deficiency (SAD ). ...

We took our vacation this summer at a place called Jellystone. It was a great trip. We spent 5 days surrounded by a million different things to do and as an added bonus we met Yogi, BooBoo, and C...

When Kenneth and I first married we went to church almost every Sunday. We loved to sing and listen to the sermons. We really wanted a Christ centered marriage. We both worked weird hours- I ...

We saw the immunologist and really liked him. He was calming and although Anna wouldn't have anything to do with him at first, she was laughing with him by the end of the appointment. He ordered ...

Thankfully about 2 weeks into the antibiotics the cough that seemed it would never go away finally began to subside but was quickly followed by a GI bug that I can only really describe as looking...
So we saw the new GI. While in the patient room for the Dr to come in the song "God of Angel Armies" played over the radio in his office. I knew at that very moment that we were exactly where we ...

After staying frustrated with our current GIs office for quite awhile now, they officially pushed me over the edge last week. I love the Dr. I do. He is great. That's the problem though. He is so...

Lamictal is the med we have dreamed of! Anna has had only 2 seizures since beginning on it and they were short and mild. It has taken from the end of January until today to get to the full do...

This is the second spelling test Anna has taken this year. It looks very similar to the first one. The only discernible letters on it are the "A" and "N" at the top. The first test broke my he...

The daytime feedings are actually going well. Going well except for days like today when I hook her up and send her to school but somehow in the morning rush forget to actually turn the pump on...

This happened yesterday. This little boy who stole my heart upon his arrival turned 3. He is all boy all the time. He is full of sweetness and meanness all at the same time. He thinks he's 10...

I'm not sure what has brought it all back up. It could have been that one of my best friends had a baby after a hypertensive pregnancy and her baby is fine. Maybe it's because some other friends ...

This happened. In Texas. Again.

And please don't ask me why blogger changes my font and formatting halfway through my posts. If you can help me fix it puh-leez help me out here. It's throwing my OCD into full swing.
We are home and thank God! 72 hours spent with a child wired up and only able to be in her room or the playroom makes for a LONG 72 hrs. The EEG went ok but the results were quite weird and no...

Winter in Texas has been, well, cold. It is not really normal for it to be too cold in December but this year has been an exception for sure. We had a nasty ice storm that kept the kids out of sc...

Wow. 6 years old. Where did the time go? I can't believe how much she has grown from that tiny little 5 lb 13 oz baby. She wanted to take cupcakes to school today but she insisted they h...

We finally had the bid ARD meeting (I think other states maybe call it IEP?) and it went, well, better than I could have ever imagined. I've read so many horror stories about these meetings. ...
