Fred (AKA) Gall Bladder, is gone. Everything went fine. This is the first surgery I have ever had. Personally I thought I did pretty well. The one thing I was nevous about was getting put to sleep. I have never been put to sleep. The whole thought of a breathing tube being down my throat really scared me, even if I was being told that I would never know.
Well the doctors were right, I never knew. All I remember is moving to the operating table and then I was out. I woke up in recovery and I remember opening my eyes and thinking, "is my gallbladder gone". Ha. Fred was gone and the doctor said everything went great and all my other organs looked fine.
Now I am left with four incisions and soreness. I know with time it will get better. I am taking it really easy.

Lots of Thinking..
I have been keeping to myself and just quite here lately. Not even talking to my best friend. I just needed some time.
I have been feeling awful. Friday Fred will be gone and hopefully I will feel better.
But, it has been more then that. I have been doing a lot of crying out to God.
Wesley has had a rough week. Nothing that is not normal with Chiari, but just a rough week.
Kyra has been getting more headaches.
I remember the day that I realized our lives would never be the same. I struggle with what exactly I need to pray for and here lately I have been praying to God that he just give me peace about Chiari. Peace!!!
It is one thing for Wesley to have Chiari, but just to know that Kyra has this path ahead of her and is already having problems. I know God has a plan for us. And, I have just been praying hard that he give me peace. Because I know that all the praying in the world is not going to take Chiari away from Wesley or sweet Kyra.
The new doctor I am trying to get her into will not return my calls. UGH!! Like a good friend said I am getting on the phone tomorrow and are not going to stop until I talk to someone. I mean if the answer is no, fine, but please talk to me.
Well this post sounds down in the dumps, but just wanted everyone to know that we are ok. Do not know how many actually read this, but I know my grandmother does :)
Love You Grandma!!

"ViRuS"
Ugh.. Over the past two months, Blake has a tummy bug then noone else. Then Kyra had it and noone else. This time Breanna gets it, then Blake. Breanna had it for 48 hours, bless her heart. In the mist of all of this I got sicker and sicker.
Like the comments from my husband, check out this one:
"You need to get well soon. I was reading the "Duties of a Father" handbook and in the chapter on tending to sick children there is no mention of cleaning up puke being the fathers duty. In fact it specifically states in paragraph 3 subsection d that the mother is responsible for all such acts. I am not qualified for these conditions. "
Such a hoot!
I finally decided Sunday night to go to the ER to make sure it was not my gallbladder. Nope I have a really bad UTI. Lovely. Never had one before and gosh are they painful. Finally this afternoon I am feeling a bit better, but still having some fever and my back really hurts.
Enough about sickness, I am tried of talking about it. I feel like thats all I do.
We could really use a healthy bug in our house.
I am so happy for some friends of mine. They have been trying to adopt a child for about six months now, and today they got the call. Baby Girl. Ellie Grace. They will be picking her up on Wednesday. If anyone deserves to be parents it is this couple. They are amazing. And I am so thrilled for them. Happy Tears today all for them!!

Sick Again
This has not been a good week for many reasons. I feel like all I do is share negative news; All I ask is for a break. Please.
Here is what my sweet husband posted for me on facebook, since I have been feeling a bit in the dumps with somethings that have been going on.
""I care sweetie and yes you are perfect!`Perfect mother to our kids Perfect person to put up with me, and my never ending problems! Perfect person to help all the people out there that are stuck in a rut and going down the wrong path. Yes... there are times that it may seem you are overwhelmed with work, and people with problems are going to take it out on you, GOD put you in this place for a reason to help his people that are on the wrong path get on the right one. When you are down, just remember and reflect on all the good you do. Let it help you find the strength to overcome the bad times/ones. I LOVE YOU sweetie!! Me and the kids are very proud of you! Smile and put the bad behind you!! ;)""
I really appreciated that comment. I am so blessed to have the husband that I do.
I came home Friday having bad gallbladder attacks. And then as soon as I got home Breanna started throwing up.
Over the course of two months each of my children have had this tummy bug at different times. Could they all not just get it at the same time? UGH!! Breanna is a bit better today. Last night was rough for her and me.
I am praying for a break. Just want everyone in my house to be well for a week. All I ask. If that is negative I am sorry. Ok, now that I have vented. Thank You for listening/reading.

Three Steps Forward and Two Steps Back
Have wanted to blog everyday and it has not happen for the last week. We have had some bumps in the road the past week.
I have been so busy at work. I keep getting case after case. A couple of cases blew up this week. It has taken a toll on me. I am still learning to not take everything personal. I work so hard on helping these people and then for them to blow up at me because they have made a mistake and then just let everything go because they are on drugs or whatever is hard sometimes. They put the blame on someone/anyone other then theirselves. But I remember by telling myself that the positive cases out rule the hard ones. Just been a rough week.
For the past week Wesley's headaches have been back. No clue why. Have not called a doctor yet, just praying it will go away and not get worse.
Having trouble getting Kyra into the doctor I want. Still trying.
My surgery is on the 28th and even though I know it is not a big deal of a surgery, I am still scared. I do not want to be down at all. But thats in Gods hands and I know I have to get it down.
Just some bumps, but we will get through it.
We did get some snow. Yes, in Texas. We usually get lucky about once a year. It was beautiful and the kids had a blast.
