I worked the pole like a pro...

Sadly, it was an iv pole so no money was involved ;)

I swear I would love to calculate the hours I have spend hooked up it would be like a million hours...or so it seems.

It is kinda funny and kinda sad that Houston thinks it is normal.

He thinks everyone has their own nurses, all mommies have their own scarfs (scars) and that every day is treatment day.

He even tells the nurses he can give me my medicine, he probably could...LOL

Well week before last I was sick, like I wanted to run into traffic sick, they tried to force my hand and made the hospital not seem so bad, they know all to well how I try and weasel out ;) Well I decided instead that because Houston was going on Vacation the next week that I would just go to my docs office everyday for the IV meds, because the home nurse couldn't do them because what they were.

It seemed like a good idea.

For the first day.

Then it was a little more suckage everyday. It is a yuck drive even when you feel good so it was not fun, but the nurses are the best port accessers ever, I almost want to kiss em' hardly anyone gets in in good the first time, because the port is so old, and trying to go bad , pesky thing!

So they used a lovely 1.5 needle , after I about had to go change my pants...it was all uphill from there :)

Then figured out that one of my favorite nurses from my floor at the hospital is now working at the office...win, win :)

Anyway, I felt a little better last week and the childlessness helped, to be honest.

Then start feeling way yuck again so I wanted to form tackle my nurse in a good way when she got here.

Then she told me one of my meds was being no longer made..so I preceded to panic but then calmed down when I realized their was a comparable med.

Yay, me.

I know this is probably like the most boring blog post ever, but hey just need to get it out every now and then.

Lets pray for feeling "my" normal :)

Sorry I have been a little MIA

Still have to have all the oral surgery :P So between that and the sickness, haven't felt like doing a lot.

I have been a wee bit obsessed with all things photography related :P

So I have been resting and reading ;)

Where is the traffic to run into???

Went to the dentist this morning, basically all the infections in the glands,nodes, etc spread to the tooth and cause the mother trucker to break off. It is ALIVE. So it hurts and the dentist says it has to come out, but he can't do it. Cue the music...seriously???

So the oral surgeron has to take it out and the first available appt isn't for weaks and I have a tooth with the nerve exposed and broken off that is infected...OKAY.

So needless to say I am going to try to make it through the weekend and figure crap out.

I swear I wish if the world was really going to end in 2010 that it happens today...or at least this weekend.

We are finally recovering from the Pig Flu

I am sooo dang tired of one of us having it I could scream.

Houston has a couple more days of meds...but has about a week under his belt.

I apparently, am having an allergic reaction to something.

I look all hivey and swollen. Which if you know me because of my immune issues and illnesses isn't that strange but it's different than normal and I can always tell it's a reaction because my throat swells.

Fun times!

We are going a little stir crazy but otherwise hanging in there!

Not much to report because all we have done is play games, read, watch movies and mommy browses the net while the little germ incubator sleeps.

I was supposed to go see my dad get inducted into a hall of fame but because of my reaction and Houston the germ machine I couldn't :( Makes me sad.

I hope they took lots of pictures.

Speaking of pictures I wish it would warm up and we would get well so I could practice with my camera more....I can dream right?

I know nothing interesting to report....this blog is so boring. But hey it makes great reading material if you need to get sleepy ;)

Another piggie in the casa....

Yep, another family member has succumed.

Houston has the flu.

The school called and said he was being quiet so they knew something was wrong ;)

They took his temp...101.

Took him to the doc where he told them "his brain" and "his heart" hurt. Then began the most pitiful please help me momma cry saying his feet and knees where hurting.

We then had to hold him down and try not to break a cute little arm to test for the flu.

So needless to say...he is taking tamiflu,cough stuff, antibotics,and lots of things to keep his fever down. I pray he doesn't get into full on seizure mode...it is always much worse when he has a fever.

We go back on Friday, so I guess I'll see what they say....

Aw look how much he has grown between some of his EEG's

Forgot I had these :(

Makes me sad, but you can tell how fast time flies.

The first one was his 3 yr old one, don't have one from last year :(

The second pic was his first one. He was one :) He had a bad bruise on his little head from having a seizure and hitting his noggin' that was by far on of the worst ones....another bad one when he chipped his teeth.

Sooooo glad they are more under control now.

Sorry I am going down memory lane...I found soooo many cd's of old pics so I am having fun...and knowing I have been married 7 years, been with my husband 10 years has made me :O think man I am OLD. HEHEHEHE

Taking it easy....

We have been taking to easy for the last couple of days. Some of it is was still have the "Christmas Hangover" to some extent I think . You know what I am talking about the weariness from the traveling, the panic and frustration trying to figure out where all those new gifts are actually going to go. That one.

Well we have pretty much recovered from that....pretty much. Last night Houston started running a fever and I was like **crap** because I have been sick and hacking a lung up for about the last two weeks, which has involved tons of drugs, trips for IV antibotics the works. Well I gave Houston meds and even though he has had the fever today for the most part he is acting fine, 100% fine...so I am not sure what it is...maybe it is viral??Who knows.

Anyway, we kept him contained today because we weren't sure how contagious he was. So we watched lots of tv, played with new toys and of course the Wii. Houston is still not the expert. He is the best on the sking. Too bad we live in the land of no snow. Stinks to be him! LOL

I really like the hula hooping. I am pretty good and on the plus side it is a major calolrie burner. There is nothing like watching your Wii Fit model plump up before your very eyes. Not good. Hopefully it will make me a little less of as Houston calls me a "large mama" I would love to say goodbye to the size 12's and hello to like a 6 :) I can dream ;)

I am alive and well...well on out of two ain't bad ;)

I am sorry I haven't been a good blogger. This time of year is literally hell for my system.

I feel like they don't even need to disconnect me from my iv....my freaking port is sore as heck from being used so much...when my bra strap runs across it...I shudder :P

I hate having to have it used so much because they only have a limited life....wonder what they look like??



They are implanted under the skin, mine is on my right side, on my upper chest....it is right above my breast.

They access it by using on of these needles. You can't use regular needles...



The needles aren't sharp they are super dull, so it feels like a paper clip is being shoved thru...not fun. I still hate hate hate hate it and have to fight the urge to slap my nurse...LOL

Anyway, you can see why I wouldn't want to have to get the bad boy replaced...but it is becoming obvious it is going to happen soon :P Which sucks. Wish they would last longer.

What can I do....anyway, off to do more Internet Christmas shopping...it's not quite the same but it's fun and as I am not wanting to get sicker or where a Micheal Jackson mask it'll do :)

oink oink oink

Sorry I have been alive just had the grand ol' swine flu.

Yeah, it's been not too fun.Lots of extra meds and some extra iv antibiotics.

Hopefully I an on the butend of it, or I can at least hope so ;)

Well off to get an hour power nap :)

I am still ticking.

Just getting into the swing of this stay at home mom thing. Listing things on ebay, getting a schedule you know the drill.

I will be out of commission towards the end of the week. I have my monthly treatment...yuck. I may stay up a day or so to visit the family some.

I will write a longer post a little later...Houston keeps getting up and not wanting to take a nap.

Scarlet fever has me seeing red!

Poor Houston managed to catch it again. Thank God it seems to be a milder case each time.

We also had our neuro appt yesterday. They upped his dosage for now until they get the results of his eeg. So I will keep you all posted.

I will write more later.
