Journal

Wow how the time flies. It seems like I cant get hardly anytime anymore to sit down and journal.

Now that schools out maybe I will have some more time to update.

Landon is now walking. He is totally off baby foods and is eating actual food now. He is still on the bottle, though he will take a sippy cup. He weighs about 24 pounds. He is developing such a personality. We did battle with RSV a few months back, but he is fine now.

I have been having alot of health issues lately.  I had en Endoscope done about 3 months ago and found out I have Esophigitis and a Hiatal Hernia, for which I am now on meds for, for the rest of my life.

I had an MRI done about 3 weeks ago and found out I have herniated discs in my neck and lower back. The Neurologist looked at the MRI results and said I have Arthritis and Degenerative Disease in my spine. So Im on meds for that and I have to start Physical Therapy and if the PT dont work then I have to have surgery. I cant work so I will try to get on Disabilty. Oh and I forgot to mention I go  to have surgery on my hands (carpel tunnel) sometime this month.

Its been awhile since I last did a journal and so much has been going on lately that I just havent had time to sit down and journal. Ill begin the update with me....-

Last week I went to the Gastroentrologist for the ongoing problems I have been having with my throat and with heartburn and reflux. They sent me this past Friday for and Endoscopy. Let me tell you that was an experience in a half..lol..The meds. they gave me to sedate me gave me total amnesia for like a day and a half. When my hubby came into the recovery room to see me he said I was asking for chapstick and something to drink..The oxygen that they gave me dried me out real bad. And afterward the dr. came in and said everything looked good! When we got home I asked hubby if the dr. ever came in afterward. He said yeah, you were having a conversation with him dont you remember? I said ummm, nope I dont. The nurses warned me before the procedure that the meds. would make me not remember anything and boy did they ever..So then they also wanted me to go for a gallbladder u/s. I did that on Monday but wont get the results until later this week. So that all with me.

All 3 of my kids are very ill. It started off with my youngest 2. My daughter had real bad croup and was weezing real bad. And the baby was the same. I took them to the dr. and they both have very bad upper respitory viruses. They are on Prednisone, Zithromax, and Albuterol. That was yesterdays trip to the dr. Today the baby woke up with what looked like a busted blood vessel in his left eye. So I took him back to the dr. and he has a secondary becterial infection in his eye. He is so miserable. He hasnt really slept for the past 3 days. Hes not eating like he should and he just wants to be held all the time. So last night my oldest wakes me up in the middle of the night throwing up. Gee and I thought he was the only well one..So he throws up all night long and on and off today. So i have 3 sick kids at home...

So thats all for now. Im just hoping all me kids get well soon before mommys nerves fail her :(

Gee it feels like its been so long since I last wrote in my journal. Alo t has been going on since I last wrote.

The main thing that has went on is my hubby was laid off from his job after being there for almost 6 years. It has hit us very hard! It has put alot of distance between him and I just for the simple fact that he isnt in a hurry to get another job. And here I am worrying about how bills are gonna get paid and how we are gonna put groceries in the house. Im very depressed and stressed over this. Im putting my faith and hope in god once more to help get us through this.  I am still going to the ENT for the trouble I have been having with my throat. The dr. keeps saying its due to my reflux and keeps wanting to put me on stronger meds.

 Landon is coming along so well. He is really learning to do things very quickly. He now sits up by himself, I mean actually sits himself up from the belly position. He has 6 teeth, 4 up top and 2 on the bottom. He is pretty much on table foods now. He just doesnt seem to like the baby foods. He loves the baby cookies though. He is still having the same amount of trouble with his reflux. He is still on meds for it. He has went for his 6 month check up already. ( Yeah I know he is 7 months old, I told you I havent wrote in awhile..lol) The dr. wants to get him put on more of a milk based formula to get him ready for real milk. We had to lower his crib, because he was trying to pull himself up on the top bar. He is crawling all over the place and doesnt stay in once place for to long. He weighs about 20-21 pounds. He has had 2 colds this winter and 1 ear infection. The second cold he is just now getting over.  He still isnt sleeping throught he night, he usually gets up at least once. Im hoping he grows outta this as he gets more toward the 1 year mark.

My other 2 children are doing well also. My daughter actually is now getting over strep. She was on meds for 10 days.  She goes in 1 week to get her shots and all for kindergarten. She totally doesnt want to go..lol

Hope all my beautiful mommy friends and mommy to be friends are doing great
