Busy.....just a little ;)

Yesterday was plain hectic. My first day on my new job, Trevor's first day of 5th grade, Trent started back to daycare/pre-k, and Sydney (who should have started kindergarden) woke up with her face slightly puffy and redness under her eye. I got the boys off and headed to work only to be called before 9 that Sydney's eye was almost swollen shut, looked bruised and that puss pockets were popping up. Apparently this is somewhat normal b/c the doctor didn't want to see her he just called in a steriod and antibiotic (grrr...this is #7 in less than 3 months). HOPEFULLY this will be the LAST time she has to take steriods or antibiotics for a while.

Trevor had a GREAT day! He LOVES this teacher and so do I. She was his pre-k teacher and we just LOVE LOVE LOVE her! Trent was so happy to be back with his friends and his teacher too!

Sydney is sooo much better today. She will attempt to go to school tomorrow!

AND tomorrow my sis-in-law is having her sweet little angel. We have been awaiting this precious little girls arrival for so long! Sydney is claiming her as her "sister". Praying for a safe and easy delivery for mama and baby. =) So tomorrow I'll have LOTS of pics to update!

Can my nerves handle this???

Nervous.......

Sydney is having her tonsils and adnoids taking out in the morning. I'm nervous.....and slightly scared. Why? I'm not sure. The doctor is AMAZING but she is my little princess. And she's being put to sleep. Surgery just makes me nervous. None of us have ever had to have ANY surgeries but a least its something minor. BUT hopefully this will mean NO MORE STREP!!!!! That would make us BOTH very happy! I have a feeling that the next few days are going to be a little hard. Esp. for Sydney. Love and patience and ICECREAM will hopefully do the trick. ;)

I'll update as the day goes on as to how she is.

Sorry I haven't been writing lately. This past week has been extremely busy and a bit stressful. Thurday I had to take Sydney to Childrens Hospital (about 4 hours away) for her routine appt. and then yesterday we had a follow up for her strep throat. The initial test came back negative but they decided to culture it just to be sure. They called bright and early that her test came back positive, so we are on antibiotics AGAIN and this is the 5th TIME she has had a positive strep since the middle of May. We now have an appointment with an ENT so hopefully we can get some answers. I'll try to update more later when I know something!

Strep again????

I'm about to take S to the doctor AGAIN (for the 4th time) with a sore throat. I have to be honest here, I'm starting to get tired of doctors and her being on antibiotics. She has had strep throat 3 times since the middle of May. This will be the 4th time. Literally every 2-3 weeks she relapses again.

T2 has an ear infection. Or I'm pretty sure he does. His ear is hurting (it has been hurting off and on for a week)and is a little swollen around it.

Update....

Sydney has Strep AGAIN!!!!! This is the 4th time in 2 months. If this round of antibiotics doesn't clear it up we will be off to a specialist to see what's going on.

Trent has a middle ear infection!!! Poor baby....He did sooo good while the doctor checked him. (Trent does NOT like doctors. After he had to have his head stitched up in Dec '08, the doctor wrapped him in blankets to stitch it and then to take them out and since then he doesn't like them)
