well now we know why Kase continues to have high fever even though he has been on antibiotics. He has pnuemonia! He was put on Omnicef on Monday...and given a Rocephin injection. Then we returned on Thursday...no better....he received another Rocephin injection and oral meds were changed...he is now taking Zythromax...and was started on albuterol nebulizer treatments. On friday....he was given yet a third injection of Rocephin....and a steroid injection....and told to come back yet again on Saturday. Today we went...he now has wheezing in the front...didnt have that before...it was all in his posterior lungs....anyway....he was put on oral steroids and another antibiotic...this time Augmentin....and we had to get a chest x-ray. Ok....so this crap is pretty potent....because its still there....and we are not seeing any changes. ARGGGG!! Kase doesnt have the fever anymore....but at times...he is sooo pooped....can't say that I blame him....I am sooo exhausted from all these doc visits myself. So now we get 1 day off....and we will return on Monday evening....for yet another visit to the doc. The doctor did say that there is a new 'super' bug out there....and it is restistant to most of the antibiotics we have....so without being able to culture his sputum....she is leaning toward Kase having that.
It was so funny today when Kase had his xray....coby said he wanted to see inside Kase's body...so the radiology tech took us back there and showed us Kase's body.....and explained everything to Coby and Kaitlyn....afterward....Coby said..."that was soooo cool"....LOL...Kids are sooo easily amused!! :)
On another note....Thursday they called a MANDATORY meeting....and told us that the unit I work on is going to close as of Oct 31st. So we all have to put in transfer requests....or move on....I swear...this year....has just SUCKED so bad....I know that it could be worse....and I really dont want anything worse...its just....DAMN.....everytime I see the light.....the fucking door gets shut!!!

Monday
Well its back to work for 3 days this week....FUN FUN FUN!! Oh well...at least its adult conversation...which is a nice change. I started back on the Atkins diet on Friday. Doing pretty good...not craving anything...guess its a good thing I dont eat alot of sweets to begin with. So lets see how long I can hang on this time...LOL ! I am tired of having my days and nights mixed up. I guess it really doesnt matter....but I hate sleeping the day away...because the only thing to do at 1Am is clean, read or watch infomercials on TV....because NOTHING is open. I mean Wal-Mart is...but thats in Hammond...and I hate driving to Hammond to go to work....so I definitely aint going to 'look' around Wal-Mart. :)
Kase is so-so...not well...but a little better... I guess. He is headed back to the doctor today since he is still running fever of 102....and has been on antibiotics since Wednesday. So hopefully it will mean stronger antibiotics.....and more rest for him.
Everyone else is good....its school as usual...the kids get out Oct 1st for Fair Day....which means the Fair is next week......so we are looking forward to that. Gotta go get some sleep....so I can be spunky at work tonight!!

not alot going on....
Well here I am again...after a sleepless night.......on the computer trying to MAKE myself get up and be productive....LOL Not much going on since my last post. Kase is sick...running fever....has an ear and sinus infections....poor baby. He always seems to get it the worst....could be that he doesnt keep his nasty FEET out of his mouth....he is constantly biting his toe nails. He started this as a small child...and hasnt stopped...he even will make them bleed....eeewwww!! Anyway...he is on his meds...so he should be better soon...I hope. Everyone else is good.....not much going on this week....I am in day 4 of my 5 days off....it has just flown by.....so I have been trying to get things organized....all through the house....but I don't think I am making much progress. :)
Well Keith and I have decided to go to counseling.......not really sure what direction that is headed. We still love each other...thats a given....but we some how lost how to communicate without getting mad....and we need to be better parents to the kids. Anyway....I will update if there is any progress....or if I need bailing out of jail for attempted murder.... LOL...really I am kidding....if I was going to kill him...I would have ALREADY...did it.... :)
I am a little sad today....today is the 3 year anniversary of my friend Brandy from nursing school that was killed in a car accident.....while I was talking with her on the phone. I miss her sooo much....we hit it off so well....we both turned 30 a few weeks from each other...and it seemed that our home lifes were like two parallels.....anyway....I think of her often...and wonder where she would be right now....I think about her kids...and how life has been for them. I guess loosing dad has made this year a little harder because its like I am re-living her death all over....since I am still grieving over dad!! Anyway....I plan on going to the cemetery today....and visiting....maybe I will take her a sweet tea from Sonic......I know she would like that.....:)

Spoke too soon about COOL weather....
Ok...I guess I shouldn't have said cooler weather...because it was 97 degrees here today...and the house is just now cooling down...and its after midnight!! OH well...it will come soon enough....maybe if I wish for Christmas to hold off a few more months...it will speed up the cooler weather...whatcha think?
Well all is well here....kids are sleeping snug in their beds....after another looong filled day of playing pretend, watching TV...and arguing with each other...LOL!! I have to tell ya about a few things said this week from Coby...he is such a riot sometimes....well first...we were headed home on Monday from town...and he heard a song by Taylor Swift...can't think of the exact one right now...any way...he was like "mom...who sings that"...I said "Taylor Swift"....he said...oh well "she sings nice...so I think I am gonna marry her"...I said "OH REALLY"....and he said "YES...what does she look like?" LOL...we were all laughing soo hard...turns out...when he did see a picture of her....he was sooo pleased with his selection. Oh I hope his innocence stays for a long time. As I mentioned previously Coby (and Kase)...loooove Star Wars....what am I saying...they eat, sleep, and breathe star wars....the would live in space....if I would let them.......LOL...anyway...Coby calls Chabawka (the big hairy thing).....Chewintabacka.....get it...like Chew-in-ta-backa....like when someone dips snuff....OMG....that has got to be the cutest thing ever!!
Kase is doing so well in school this year with controlling his behavior...I am sooo proud of him...he still does little things that just get on my nerves....but I am trying to be more patient and realize....that he is a sweet little boy...and to him....he is not trying to upset me. I love that he still loves to snuggle...and give me kisses for no reason....I still get the ones when he wants something....but its nice to get those ' out of the blue' ones too!!! The boys joined the Cub Scouts this week....they were sooo excited...that seems to be all Kase wants to talk about...the fun stuff he will get to do...the camping, the hunting....all kinds of things. I hope this will help reinforce hus self discipline.
Kaitlyn is getting sooo big....she is taking better care of herself...and her appearance and making sure each day that she brushes her teeth and hair.....a true sign she is growing up. She has been learning to play the guitar....actually they all have. But she seems to be the most interested in learning each and every chord that her daddy has been teaching her. We are hoping to get her into a class to learn more than that playing by ear....maybe to even be able to read the music and play too.
I have to work the next 3 days....yeah for me....but then I get 5 off...so not complaining...tooo much...LOL....and I hope to get some more cleaning done. I was going to go to Scrapfest...but decided that I am really not in the scrapping mood....so it would be a waste of money! I might finish my scraproom...or start on the kids room. I have decided to make it music/guitar themed....something that can grow with them.....the main colors will be black and white....Kaitlyn will have hot pink to accent...an the boys will have Red...and Blue...if Coby wants something different than Kase. I have found sooo many different ideas....I can't wait till it all comes together!!!
I talked to Chelsea this past week...she seems ok...though her dad hasnt taken her to the doctor....he gave several reasons why....but of course to me....it shouldnt matter why..she should have been by now...but I have prayed about it...and its in Chelsea's hands....and Tracey's....I can't worry about it anymore....they both knew what needed to be done....and I am leaving it at that. I don't want anything to happen to my baby....but clearly....no one wants my opinion....or cares about what I want for her....so I have to let it be!! So all I can do is pray...and let GOD handle it!!
Well Keith and I....are I guess finally over....I mean we have been over...but here recently we don't even talk casually anymore...just to the point stuff about the kids. Which is fine with me...its not that I want more....I just want him to do his part for the kids....and not make this any harder than it needs to be. He also turned 39 on Friday....so that may have had something to do with it tooo...he gets moody about getting older.....LOL
Well I guess thats about it....nothing major just life and lots of memories to remember..... The kids go to Keith's tomorrow for his week....so I am going to try to do a fun craft with them before they go.... I go the recipe to make play dough.... I will let ya know how it turns out!!

FALL is in the air
Well its September...which means pumpkins, Halloween, cooler weather...and beautiful colors outside!! I love to look at the trees as I am driving....its a realization of just how wonderful GOD really is......he created beauty all around us!! I have started decorating on the inside too....trying to get motivated and start early so that we can enjoy it longer.... :)
This is an arrangement I placed on my table.....love the lime green and orange...I see myself adding these colors all through the house....it gives me a warm feeling...I LOVE FALL!!
