Couple of Pictures

Gianna smiles all the time for us but when we get the camera out she is so serious. Well this weekend One of Madeleine's Boyfriends...yes boyfriends...birthday party Gianna was full of smiles. She is so proud of her 2 teeth!


Madeleine and her friends (Calan is one of her boyfriends and he is the the Polo)

There are those teeth

So serious.

The results

I thought I had blogged but apparently not...I have been losing my mind lately! I went Thursday for my post-op appointment and got the results. It is NOT lymphoma which is amazing news! I have hyperplasia which basically means my lymph nodes are extremely over reactive. Apparently the symptoms I was having were actually from some type of cold or virus and my lymphs had over reacted and continued to over react and did not know how to calm down. They said that is highly unlikely to happen again but I do need to monitor things monthly especially since I am at higher risk of cancer. The post-op infection is getting better and she thinks that is was caused by an allergic reaction to the adhesive in the steri stripe. so we are very happy to find that out!

We go back this week to check on Gianna's ears and Madeleine is actually running fever and complaining about tummy and back pains which sounds like another UTI or the same one. One day, ONE DAY we will all be well! :-)

Music Time

I thought this past month was Keyboard but apparently it was guitar. She is so smart! She has started spelling things on her computer. I love listening to her read books to me. I am pretty emotional and sappy right now but I am so proud to be a mother of 2 amazing girls!

Day 5 and stuff

Turns out I got a Post-op infection. I am on antibiotics and have my follow up appointment on Thursday.


With everything going on I sorta forgot about Mother's Day. Jada wanted strawberry bushes so that is what she got. The Natalie told me that my Dad was getting Mom a glider and that my Mom wanted this decorative pot. That put a creative bug in my ear. I decided to buy a pot and have Madeleine and Gianna decorate it and then plant Sweet Peas in it with Kimmie so every time Kimmie see the sweet peas she will think of her "sweet peas". With the surgery didn't get to decorate the pot. So we gave it to Kimmie and now the girls and Kimmie are going to decorate the pot together and plant the sweet peas.

I am trying to beef up my charm bracelet so I haven been dropping hints here and there. Jada got me the Mother and Baby Dolphin charm. And Jahno is doing a IOU charm but not sure when that is coming. :-)

Also for Madeleine's Birthday we are starting her a James Avery Charm Bracelet. So if you need birthday ideas there you go. She is great on toys but she could always use clothes also and she is in 2T's and size 7 shoes. Her party is going to be June 5th but ya'll will be getting invitations soon!

One more final and I am done for a couple weeks and then Summer School! But these will be fun classes so I am excited!!!

I think I have rambled enough for now. :-) And here are more pictures.

Day 4

Today was a little rough. I had to study all day for my last finals. After a couple of hours I felt like I had been ran over by a train. I don't think I have been taking it as easy as I should have. I am heading to bed to watch Big Bang Theory and then sleep. Can't want for the results and to finish this semester.

Day 2

I am still in quite a bit of pain. But I got to spend time with Family so that helped out a lot. Excited about Mother's Day tomorrow and spending time with family again. I accidently pulled the steri-strip off but the nurse said it should be ok. Also I want to thank Natjamama for washing, drying and straightening my hair for me since I am still not suppose to get my neck wet.

Surgery

Surgery went pretty well. The morphine wore off so I am in quite a bit of pain. Vicodin just isn't the same. They said it would take 5 to 7 days to get the results. We will see how tonight and tomorrow goes. Luckily right now it does not look to bad, it is slightly bruised but the stri-strip is hiding the stitches. Thank you for everyone's prayers.
