So I am trying to put in 50 hours a week but this morning when I woke up at 4:00am I had the shakes, I just couldn't do it. I arrived here at 6:30am. Oh well. Tommy ran the half marathon yesterday in the Flying Pig for his sister.
He is growing into quite a wonderful young man..

One more night at Children's
Here I am for one more night at Children's. I told Tom I am very close to curling up in a fetal position. I can't take it one more day. She is much better and I will continue to give her IV antibiotics at home. I really should go back to school and become a nurse.
While Hannah was receiving a massage, they discovered an odd looking mole so we need to get that checked out. Just one more thing to worry about. I'm sure it will be fine. If not, we will just deal with it and put it in God's hands.

Here we are at Children's
I haven't posted anything for awhile. Let's see, I had neck surgery in January for a ruptured disc. I woke up on November 7th and it felt like I stuck my arm in fire. The worst pain I have ever had in my life. Worse than "birthin" babies. Turns out it was a pinched nerve caused by the ruptured disc. Been in a neck brace since 1/14 but I am slowly weaning off. Can't go back to work for another 2 weeks.
Hannah after having a fairly uneventful 2009 is now at Children's with an intestinal blockage and IV antibiotics. Might as well clean out everything while we are here. After the hell of 2009, I was hoping 2010 would be better. It can only get better from here:)

Surgery
Today I had surgery to fix a little leaking problem I was having. It was a quality of life issue, could I live with it; yes but why. I am so glad I got it done. I can already tell the difference.
I'm a little stoned on pain meds but oh well.
Monday I am having a growth taken off my middle finger. I must have over used it LOL.
Hannah goes to the CF clinic and diabetes Doc on Monday. So far I know her chest x-ray was incredible, yippee and her liver enzymes are elevated again booooo. I love being able to go online and get a peek at the results before the visit. She is coughing a little and I bet she grows staph in her throat culture again.
I have been forbidden to go to softball practice tonight so I can recover and go to the game tomorrow.
Have I mentioned lately how much I hate CF? Well I hate, hate, hate it.
I absolutely love being a mother my kids make me proud every day.

Tommy
Someday soon I plan to have my nervous break down, but right now I don't have time.
Tommy had a seizure on Sunday and has had a CT scan and an MRI and is OK. He is just not quite himself. Very tired, falling asleep on the couch just not normal for him.
He is just a wonderful kid. He is my buddy, my rock. We are so proud of him.
He plays with the younger kids in the neighborhood and I know he doesn't realize it, but that speaks to his character. He is great with younger children always coaching. Someday he will be a great father.
When Hannah heard about his seizure, she was upset and said she didn't want him to die. He was too much fun to annoy.
Of all the things we have been through with our children, that call from his Aunt telling me he was having a seizure was probably one of the scariest moments. Tommy is so healthy and strong, I just couldn't grasp the words. A total shock. Not Tommy, I would not be shocked to hear this about Hannah, the one with CF diabetes, but not my bud, my running partner.
I'm sure he will be fine and if not, God will get us through whatever happens.
But really God, it is not funny anymore. :)

Walks are over until next year
I'm tired. Mason's walk last Saturday raised over $13,000 our team was $1500 of that.
Cincinnati's walk was yesterday but I don't know the totals we had to leave to go to Hannah's softball game. Tommy won his game yesterday and Hannah lost her first game.
Dayton's walk was today and we had to leave before I heard the total. Hannah had a game and they won! Hannah had a double. She is great. You can really tell she has been playing awhile.
I am having a blast coaching these girls. Their faces are so sweet when they look up at me to get their fielding positions.
I said I was glad the walks are over and softball only last a few weeks. Tom reminded me that I will be depressed when it is all over. Post walk depression. I get it every year.
I am training for a 10K on August 1. Training every Wednesday until that Saturday. I have a great friend training with me. So far, we are having a blast.

We did it!
Tommy, my friend Jim and I survived the Flying Pig relay. What an awesome experience. I am not ususally the type to brag about myself but I am so proud that I was able to walk and actually run part of my 5 mile relay piece. And words cannot express how proud I am of my son. Tommy grew quite a bit as a person through this experience. After the race Hannah gave Tommy a big hug. My kids are great.
