Poked ,bruised and defeated.

Well as of January 21, I have been a resident of Spa Met, or what others might call, Met Hospital.
My bowels are all backed up and not working properly. And now the doctor has put me on antibiotics because he thinks I am coming down with a chest infection. I have gone through 9 IV sites in less than a week. I am bruised everywhere, and in pain . Too top things off "Auntie" came for a visit. Man being a woman can suck at times. I miss my family so much. Dave is bringing Annika up for her cf clinic on Saturday, so hopefully I will see her than. Everyone says Annika is doing fine, she just keeps asking "where momma go?" Parker is starting to act out a bit, and Dave is so preoccupied with everything that needs to be done, and Parker is being put aside. My little man needs some extra attention. He came up to see me one night, and I talk to them on the phone, but I don't think it is the same. My kids miss me as much as I miss them.
Say some prayers for my family, and that we can be together again soon.

A wish is a dream your heart makes.....

Well Santa blessed us with a trip to Florida, and Walt Disney World. Thanks to my parents , Dave's mom and my brother's family, we got to go on a fantastic trip. We really budgeted our cash, since it was really limited. The kids had a blast (even the little ones) Annika and Parker loved meeting the characters and getting their autographs. We stayed at a beautiful condo, with a heated pool. Over all it was a great trip.

Sneezing ,coughing and sleeping

Annika has had a cough for almost 4 weeks now, and the doctor has put her on cipro, to cover any bugs we might be missing when we do a throat swab. Her cultures keep coming back negative.
She is full of energy and getting into everything. Annika is finally used to Parker going to school now, so she often waits patiently for him by the front door. Annika loves her big brother.He brightens up her day.

Fixed teeth and tired parents!

Okay we are home and settled into bed! (at least the kids are!)
Annika made it through the surgery fine. She now has Angelina Jolie lips from all the stretch for the dental work. The swelling is already going down. She officially has her own bling-bling in her mouth now. Two fully capped silver teeth, and two white filling teeth. Four repair jobs altogether.
I hate enzymes. I am trying so hard to not let her chew them. It is so hard to prevent it at this age though.
I am so emotionally and physically drained. With David being laid off, Parker getting over his throat infection, Annika coming down with her chest infection(which she is on Biaxin and steroids for) and to top things off dental surgery, with a first time sedation and chest tube....arrrggghhh!
Now off to London to see my mobility specialist . So little sleep for the wicked.
I am so drained of energy. I am so tired of sickness.....I need a vacation.

Mean mommy missed my teeth! I am Captian underpants!

Well we just found out that Annika has to go under for teeth repair. I figured she had been teething because her appetite went down this last week and she has verbally been complaining about her teeth. Well I look in her mouth today after she fought with me when I was trying to brush her teeth(which she never does because she loves the toothpaste) I open up her mouth to see what teeth were coming in and giving her such a hard time and bam! Right there in front of me is a broken tooth, the fourth one from the front to the left. A huge chip off of it, almost 1/4 of the tooth, you can see root. No wonder the poor little thing has been complaining. I feel like a bad mom, I just assumed it was teeth coming in, not roots exposed.
Well we took her to the pediatric dentist ASAP. He took one look and saw that tooth, plus another crack in one tooth on the opposite side. He also stated the lowers looked week and might need caps.
So we are scheduled for Wednesday (time unknown as of yet) for dental surgery, which she will be knocked out for.
Poor little thing. Thank God for booby juice, she sure has been nursing alot lately.
The good thing is she is still full of energy. She loves putting on clothes from the laundry basket (as I am folding them) This day it was Parker's underpants.
