Whew!!! What a week!

This has been one long week. My first back since being sick, now Kayla is down with URI, stuff, yuck. It is way to early in the school year for this. I am hoping it goes away soon, she is so tired of coughing, her sides hurt, lucky me I think I am right behind her, I hope not because I don't want to aggravate what I have. Vitamin C is my friend.

Michaela is excited for Youth Explosion 09 at Princeton Countryside Alliance Church tomorrow. They are the "Security" the front of their shirts say, Secure in Christ. I am so excited and love that she is so involved with this group. I have to chuckle when I think of it. The leaders are the same leaders I had for Youth group growing up. Kent and Lori you are amazing and so great with these kids. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you give to the kids and how you help and guide them everyday.

Youth Explosion is Starts at 4:00, tomorrow, Sunday, Sept.20, 2009. Come hear a some great music and fellowship.

Update!

Ok so I went to our family doctor today. He says it is not Plurisy. He is calling it Costochondritis, here is the WebMD explanation of what it is:

Costochondritis

Costochondritis is an inflammation of the joints formed by the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone (sternum). The inflammation may be caused by an injury to the chest, but often the reason for the inflammation is not known.

They gave me a steroid shot to hopefully help decrease the inflammation more quickly. If not feeling better by Thursday I am to go back in and see the doctor.

I keep saying this, but this so not the way I wanted to start off my school year.

Hopefully a week of rest will make it all better!

Ok before you hear it somewhere else!

Here is the scoop. I was transported by Hallam Rescue from school to Bryan LGH East yesterday around 11:20. I had been having some chest discomfort since Monday evening but just thought it would go away. Went to work yesterday and didn't feel the greatest, but it got to be different and I started feeling light headed. So I was taken to the nurses office, where she took my blood pressure. We talked and felt I needed to be seen, I had her call Steve at home to take me in. He was on his way, when the pain got worse and my blood pressure went up. She was no longer comfortable with him transporting and asked if she could call. I agreed. I really didn't want Hallam to come, but after they got there and Jill Sand started talking with me, it was almost comforting. I was put on oxygen and taken in, no lights and sirens, Thank goodness. My oxygen level would drop when the pain increased. Jill was not liking that.

Upon arriving at Bryan East, we were greeted by the ER register, My best friend from High School. I was thinking could this get any more embarrassing. I had lots of tests, EKG was fine, I had a CT scan of my heart and lungs with dye and it was all normal. They are calling it Pleurisy, Steve and I have decided this is the doctors way of saying we don't know what it is. Kind of like when we take our kids in and they don't know what it is so they say it's just a Virus. I love that word.

Anyway, I was discharged from the hospital at 4:00 and we got my pain meds and came home. I did stay home from work today and slept alot. I am more sore and tired than anything. I am planning on returning to work tomorrow.

Just wanted to let everyone know, so no one hears it through the grapevine.

I am thankful for a great place to work, who care and were concerned about me. Thank you all for your phone calls and prayers I really appreciate it.

Love to all.

Prayer Request For Norris Schools

I just had a prayer request for all of my classmates and other children on the bus yesterday. As many of you may have seen on the news or on the internet there was a bus that was in an accident yesterday. A lot of the childeren on the bus were injured but luckily not seriously injured. Most of the older childeren were on the bus were back in school today but alot were still in alot of pain weather it was emotionally or phisically. I knew some of the childeren on the bus but their doing just fine but they are just in shock that something like this would ever happen. Most of the childeren that were not in school today will be by the end of the week. I just want to ask you if you could please pray for them in this time of need. Thank you for all the prayers. God bless!

Kayla

Happy Third Birthday Marcus Lee!

My Baby boy is 3 years old today! Man time has flown by, seems like just yesterday he was born! I remember it like yesterday anyway!

He is getting so big, pretty easy to potty train, he is talking our ears off, all boy; loves the mud, dirt, trucks and tractors. He has energy to burn. Sometimes I think he is the Energizer Bunny! He keeps on going and going.

Had his Thomas party yesterday here at the house, my seems really small when the family is all here. Kind of like sardines. :) It was a fun time and glad we did it. Thanks to everyone for coming you made the special. Thanks to all who traveled long distances just to be here. It meant a lot to me and to him too.

School is going good for the first 2 days anyway, this week will be our first full week so this will be the test.

Have a great day everyone, I am relaxing today. I am really tired after this week and weekend.

Sprague Fun Days!

It was a hot one this weekend, but Fun Days went on as usual. We went down Friday night to watch a little bit of Softball. In the short time we were there, I think Marcus found every bit of sand and dirt to get in his hair. I kid you not, I had to wash his hair twice, the first time the shampoo was brown, gross. Sunday we went down to watch the championship game. It started pouring, luckily after the game was over. As the storm passed, Marcus decided it would be fun walk in every mud puddle he could find. It was fun to watch, because after a while you just say, oh well, go for it. He was so dirty it was crazy. He loved walking through and playing with the other kids, forget Mud Volleyball, the little kids had Mud Volleyball of their own. Thanks Rhiannon for the pictures. I agree with her, Preschool Mud Volleyball, minus the ball! Wish I would have taken a picture of his backside, it was caked!

Tonight is open house at school, Michaela will be a 7th grader, yikes. I am not ready for that. We will go out and get her schedule and put a few things in her locker before we start on Thursday. I do not have to go until tomorrow for a couple of hours and then Wednesday for a couple of hours. It will be nice, going to spend Wednesday morning at the movies with Rob and the boys and Joelle, for the last Kids Rule Movie of the summer. Can't beat $3.00 movie with popcorn included. Love it.

I do have a prayer request, my supervisor Jen, her daughter Abby is 2 and has been in Children's since last Wednesday. They can not figure out why she is running high fevers and has a rash. She is not eating or drinking, we pray of wisdom for the doctors, to find out what this is, for Jen and Ben as they watch their young child be poked and poked some more. We pray for Abby that she starts to feel better soon and for courage to let the doctors and nurses do what they need to do, even though it hurts. Hard for someone so little.

Thanks again and love to all!

Work already!!!

I am off tomorrow for some training at school. I can not believe in 7 days we have to report. I am ready to go, I am ready for a routine again, although I will miss being at home with Marcus. He gets to go see Deanna on Thursday, while I finish my training, as Steve has to work.

Today, was going to be a day of fun, but turned into a day of hurry up and wait. We had the sewer drains cleaned out as our washing machine kept bubbling up on the floor in the basement. It was a long process and then we had to clean it up. Yuck, but we did rearrage my laundry room a little it looks a little bigger.

Off to town for some supper, Yeah, no cooking! Got to love family nights out right.

Of course the temp as to go up, school is starting soon. And this weekend is Fun Days at the old school house in Sprague, it is always Africa Hot on Fun Days weekend.
