Tonsils out!

Well Kambree is having her tonsils and adenoids taken out on April 8Th. I am so happy about this because for about a year now I have suspected she might have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. She snores so so so bad at night and sometimes she will stop breathing. Her chest will raise but no oxygen is going into her lungs. She is not a good sleeper at night and often wakes up screaming and very upset. She is hard to deal with during the day and is tired most of the time. She tells me "mom I no feel good"...So today we took her to an Ear Nose and Throat Doctor and he agrees with my diagnosis. Kambree for sure has Obstructive Sleep Apnea. He could tell just by looking at her Tonsils that they were a problem. THEY ARE HUGE!!! This can be very bad if left untreated. It can cause an enlarged heart among other things. I'm not looking forward to her hurting or being in so much pain. And yes there are risks with this just like any other surgery. I feel confident that things will go great and hope for a speedy recovery for Kambree. Wish her luck!!!

Ten Years of Thomas

It was ten years ago today that my best friend came into this world. I haven't always done right by him but I have always loved him and always will. Thomas is FINALLY TEN! The picture above is Thomas in my tummy. My mom and I were so excited I was having a little boy.

This picture is one of my favorites. I LOVE his cute little hiney! Please excuse the fat lady standing next to him...(that's me)...

I love his eyes in this one. I have always loved his eyes. I cant believe he is growing up.

Thomas absolutely LOVES his little sisters. He is such a great big brother and is VERY protective of them.

This is one of the most current pictures I have of him. I miss him. I can honestly say that he saved me. If it were not for him I don't know where I would be today. I have made some bad decisions since his birth but things have managed to work out. I'm sad because I don't get to spend his Tenth birthday with him today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOMAS!!!!

mean man!!!

K so im writing about a bad experience i just had in hopes that it will make me feel better. Here it goes....so i have been meaning to send a few things off in the mail for weeks now and just havent done it because i dont want to get both girls out of the jeep just to buy stamps. Anywho today was the day i was going to do it! Yes i was feeling pretty good all day and finally had the will power to get both screaming toddlers out of my jeep in the freezing ass cold and take them in to the CONOCO that also has a post office inside! So we get inside the building and we go up to the counter and I tell the grungy ass hole of a man what i need. Mind you I am a very kind person and I asked for my things with a please, thank you and a smile. A smile I now know he did not deserve. He gives me my total and i hand him kevins debit card. Bubba (the mean man) asks for ID. OOPS its kevins card...I told him it was my husbands and he says thats fine as long as the name on my ID matches his last name...soooooo i carry both screaming children back out in the freezing ass cold and get my wallet with my ID...Back inside we go and he has the nerve to tell me that "he can be really mean if he wanted to and decline my card and take it because its not signed"! he added "you cant write see ID or sign it in front of me IT HAS TO BE SIGNED SO GET IT SIGNED"! honestly who gives a rats behind if the damn thing is not signed. We use it as debit all the time any way... well to make a stupid story short..i completely understood what he was saying and i know he was just trying to protect the cardholder. yay for him he knows his job! BUT he didnt have to be so rude and mean. I seriously sat in my car after he was done drilling me and cried. he hurt my feelings and no i do not believe i should have been treated with such disrespect...anywho he ended up giving me my f...ing stamps and i said thanks in a very nice way and left his dirty ass store never to enter there again as long as i live in this little Podunk town! whew! thanks for listening....

WALL ART!!

My two beautiful little girls have an artistic side to them. I must say I am very happy about this....accept when it ends up on my walls!!!

kambree's hospital visit

I know all of you know that Kambree had a little visit to the hospital a few weeks ago but now that I have finally put all my pictures on the computer I thought I would add the ones we took of her in her room. We found out she had RSV along with Kathryn about three weeks ago. I must say it is the worst I have ever seen either one of my girl feel. Fever of about 105 to 101 for almost a week! Sore throat, throwing up and the poopies. I felt so bad for them. We took Kambree in to the ER on a Monday and they tested her for RSV and said they couldn't really do anything to help her that I just needed to treat her symptoms. Well about a day and a half later she was worse as was Kathryn! Kambree could NOT breath. I have ashtma so I think i can tell when one of my children is having a hard time breathing. Anywho so I took both girls in to the ER at 5am on Thursday and Kambree was immediately admitted to the hospital. She had a hard time keeping her oxygen above 83. Normal oxygen up in this altitude is 90. So in the mean time Kathryn is discharged and they tell me she has the same thing but she is doing much better than her sister and just to watch her. Oh and not to mention I'm running a fever of 103 during this and i feel like crap...oh yeah I'm by my self!! Kevin HAD to go to school because it was the last two days of this class and he had finals! By the way he did great! Ok back to Kambree and Kathryn....so Kambree ended up staying one night in the hospital and was on oxygen the whole time...they sent her home Friday afternoon with oxygen, and she was to stay on it all the time until she could keep her oxygen above 90 by her self. She was on it for about a week and four days and during this time she developed pneumonia in her right lung. So under the Doctors orders she had to take breathing treatments every four hours. Then about a week after she got out of the hospital the Doctor tells me she is not getting any better and is concerned. She said she was going to try one last thing and if that didn't work it was probably back to the hospital we go. So before we leave the Doctors office she gives her a strong shot of antibiotics and the next day kambree had no fever and her lung sounded so so so much better! I think its been good from then on. I'm so happy we found a Doctor who took such good care of her. It was a stressful two weeks but the sleepless nights and constantly waiting on a sick child was worth it. I feel like I really helped heal her. She is doing much better now and will probably take a while for her to completely heal but we are over the bad stuff and I'm so happy she is healthy! So sorry this is probably hard to follow, I'm not good at writing and telling story's but as long as i can understand it in a few years its great!

SICK AND FREAKIN TIRED!

Well we are now going on 9 days of being sick. I mean really really stinkin sick. We all have RSV to be exact. Kambree and Kathryn have it so bad. Kathryn is now finally doing better while her sister sits in bed sleeping, coughing, throwing up or crying. Kambree had to be hospitalized thursday night because she was so bad. She is now home stuck to her oxygen and taking breathing treatments every four hours. Both girls have double ear infections and enough snot to cover the united states! IM SICK OF IT!! I feel like im not doing enough to help them get better. I have called into work five times and i think im gonna get into trouble but my girls are so sick and Im running a fever. You know i would feel horrible if i gave this to some little baby or someones mom and they gave it to their baby and they died from it or something! ok so im just babbling on and on and it feels good to talk. I really hope my family gets better soon. This is getting old.
