Done with the Drs.

Its Friday and I am relaxing still with my Trinity at my sisters house. We're watching a movie, eating Watermelon and sipping on Lemonade while we wait for Dave and the kids to come pick us up all while trying to stay cool. It is suppose to cool off after today, thank goodness!!

Trinity had her Ortho appt yesterday that was 2 1/2 hours by the way...long long day. It wall went good and her teeth are coming along great. She has already had a big change in little over a year she has had them on. I am so happy for her. I made dentist appts for cleaning for all 5 kids, that will be a little later this month. I can only pray that we have another visit without 1 single cavity like the last time. Boy that felt so good. And as for today with her ENT appt, it went well, as well. She still has one tube still in so the doc wants to see her in 6 months and maybe by that time it will have fallen out by then and he can see if her hearing loss is coming from the inner ear bones. So for now her right ear is good and the left the same but at least its not worse.

That's pretty much a summary of the last two days. Now when we all get back to the RV the kids will be catching up on schoolwork because they have all had an easy week.

Back to Cda

For a few days that is. My oldest daughter and I are staying in town until Friday evening with my sister. It seems a bit strange for me to just have one kiddo with me, but it's nice to have some one on one time. Trin has a two Dr. appts on two different days so my sis said for us to stay here in town instead of driving 4 hours each day after talking with Dave. Thank You Sis!!! Her first appointment tomorrow is with the Orthodontist and she is finally getting her metal "appliance" out of her mouth, she has had it in for about 10 months. We are all so excited for her and then she has about another year then she should be done with braces and onto retainers. Fun fun. Then on Friday she has another follow up visit with her ENT for her hearing. I am hoping and praying to God that her hearing has gotten better or at least not worse. I would hate to have to go back into surgery again.

As for the rest of the family they are all doing good! Yesterday we all went to the local pond for the kids to swim (the river is to swift and high for them to swim in) and for Dave to fish and we ended up staying there for about 4 hours. 20 plus Trouts later (catch & release of course) and 5 very warn out kids later we headed home for hotdogs by the fire. It was a great day with a bit cooler weather. And today my sis came out for a visit and we thought we'd go fish again and let the kids play again.....well..... 90 plus and absolutely no trees was a little to much warmth for me and my sis. So we packed up and headed back to camp. We have had almost 2 weeks straight of 90 degree weather here.....omgoodness I want a break. Gotta love A/C!!!

So besides trying to stay cool and getting some quiet time with one child, there's really nothing new going on. I might be adding some more pictures soon....

Counting down the days and more......

So we have just over a week left to get everything done before we hit the road. Its coming along pretty good, but still seems like there is a lot more to do. I have a long list of items for sale on Craigslist and we have been having great luck with selling our things. We have a stack of boxes that are ready for the storage and we're filling up the trailer. Its fun decorating and finding where everything is going to go.

The weather has been starting to be more and more like Spring around here. Its just beautiful here with the blue sky especially after a long cold winter. Its to bad that all the kids cant go outside to enjoy it. I was back in the ER with Trinity last night with a very bad kidney infection. So she has been in her room relaxing for the most part today. The Dr's have sent her urine out for more cultures at an outside lab. We have been very blessed that she hasn't had more kidney issues then she's had. When she was born we found out that her kidneys were different from each other which means she is more prone to infections. I have prayed that this is just a regular or so called normal infection and that it doesn't lead to more problems with her kidneys.

I tell ya what it's always something going on here either good or bad, its always something.

Another birthday party down.....

We are good for the girls birthdays for this year. You think I would be use to having 3 birthdays within a month of each other...yeah I'm not...LOL Still stressful, trying to make sure everything goes smoothly while dealing with all the different personalities in the house. Well it went pretty well I think....cake and ice cream, presents and a bunch of girls being girlie...oh yeah also throw in there a 12 yr old brother and snow......equals snowballs being thrown at him. They all had fun and now mom and dad get to relax watch TV while the girls (2 xtra) watch High School Musical 3 down stairs.

making her wish......


Trinity and Alexis laughing while she struggles with the wrapping paper....lol Good job Alexis wrapping it.

A really funny card from Alexis as well...we all got a good laugh...hahaha

And all together in the living room.

Until next year..........

Happy Birthday to our Trinity

11 years ago today our oldest daughter Trinity was born. We love you baby and we hope you have a great Birthday Party this weekend!!

Here is a picture of Trinity with Savannah, unfortunately I don't a baby picture of her on my computer but this one is when she 4 yrs old.

And here she is 11 years old, turning into a beautiful young lady. We are so blessed to have you, thank you for just being you!!!!

A quick update.......

Just wanted to get on here and give a quick update on my dear daughter Trinity and her surgery today. It went well for the most part. I did however find out that she will probably need tubes in her eyes throughout her adult life too. Dr. says there is some inner ear deformities that will more likely to cause her permanent hearing loss without treatment. So as of now Trinity is just laying on the couch going in and out of sleeping, kinda high on the meds they have her on. She has done really good but has definitely had her ups and downs. She received some beautiful flowers and a balloon from her Grandma and Papa that was delivered to the house today. I will be kind to her and not post a picture of her from today she wouldn't like me to much for that but here's some from her flowers and her balloon.

A non-typical day......

So after getting a phone call today from the girls school I had to go and pick Trinity up. Come to find out she was hit in the face during recess playing wall ball. Right in the nose and mouth. Now keep in mind for those who didn't know she has braces. You can only imagine her top lip, yeah it's swollen and bloody along with a bloody nose. So while I was there to pick her up I went ahead and picked up Savannah because she hates riding the bus by herself. Anyways I stopped by her Orthodontist office and they looked at her mouth they, all was good there just going to be sore. Then next stop was to her appointment to the ENT and while we were there the doc went ahead checked out her nose, and all was good with that also. Thank goodness, she is just sore and will be for a couple of days. As for her appointment for her hearing well surgery is scheduled for Nov. 3rd to put in a second set of tubes that are more permanent and also they are taking out her adenoids. So they said she could miss up to one week of school which is a big deal for her because she wanted perfect attendance. I told her it will be ok just try again next year for it. To say I'm nervous is an understatement because when she had her first set five years ago she had a very hard time waking up. Please say a prayer that all will be ok.
I gotta get on dinner, until next time......
